Are worldly desire and innocence necessarily opposites? Is the world really as beautiful as an angel sees it, or as dark as a devil sees it? Kim Ki-deok told us such a story of desire and redemption in "Samaria Girl", who is not hesitant to move forward amid the contradictions in this world.
All beings are suffering, and who can redeem whom? Yijuan and Jierong plan to travel to Europe together, but they are both high school students, but it is difficult for them to save money. In the end, Yijuan assists Jierong in "doing the men's business" and sells their youthful bodies in exchange for travel funds. Jie Rong is gentle and generous, always smiling, whether it is facing the customers who patronize her flesh business or feeling guilty, the resentful Yi Juan always smiles to comfort them. And she compared herself to Posumito, redeeming and purifying the souls of those men through the union of the body, and relieved their stress. Although doing morally unacceptable things, Jie Rong has never thought of harming others. In addition to traveling for herself and her beloved, she is also willing to accompany those men who are trapped in the pain of the world, and use her flesh to speak. Give them a moment of peace. After being discovered by the police, Jie Rong stood on the window sill and looked back. Her smile was as holy as an angel under the backlit lens. This was the beautiful world in her heart, and it was the people she had redeemed. Jie Rong seemed to be doing it for herself. Feeling gratified by the sacred mission, he jumped off the window sill without hesitation.
If Jierong is a sinful angel, Yijuan is an ignorant angel who is carrying a burden. She is innocent and beautiful. She didn't want to have a relationship with men, but in order to satisfy Jierong's last wish, she did not hesitate to exchange her body for what Jierong wanted. To see that man one last time. After Jierong's death, the guilt she carried on her body made her reluctant to let her start her own road of redemption, find all the previous guests, once again use the body to comfort them as Jierong, and return the money to them, Rather than continuing Jie Rong's desire for redemption, it is better to speak of her own redemption, allowing her loved ones to trade those desires, which eventually resulted in Jie Rong's death.
Regarding the relationship between the two, I prefer to describe it as a dreamy love rather than friendship. It seems like a flame that has just been ignited. ", still love her the same, kiss her. Compared with Yijuan's redemption method, her father's redemption method seems to be out of a deformed love. The father, who was originally a police officer, represented the most fair and just incarnation in the world. After discovering his daughter's flesh and blood business, he did not communicate with his daughter at all, but went to follow those men and find trouble with those men. Stalking, blocking, intimidating those men, chasing them to other people's homes, scolding their "shameless" in front of their wives and children, forcing the men to jump off the building on the spot. Even in the end, he found that he still couldn't stop things from happening, and the angry devil finally broke the shackles of reason at this moment-the police killed people. From the beginning to the end, my father has been trying to maintain the peace on the surface. Even though he is suffering from a huge psychological torment and has become crazy, he still cooks Yijuan's favorite food as always, but his heart has been controlled by the devil. Know. It's an overwhelmed father's redemption for his daughter's deformity. Looking at it, it seems that the protagonists are all redeeming others, but in the end they lead to successive tragedies. Looking at the other men in the show, are they really that hateful and shameful? After accepting Yijuan's physical and spiritual repayment, there seems to be some good changes. She began to look back at the children and family members who may have been neglected by her for a long time. Jie Rong resolved the hostility of life for them. In a sense, , it was Jie Rong who saved them.
Compared with the domestic methods of creating absolute "sages" and "villains", this film also makes people reflect on the contradictions of people themselves, and there has never been absolute right and wrong. Yijuan's attitude towards Jierong's skin and flesh business is contradictory. She loves Jierong, not only feels sorry for Jierong to exchange her body for money to support the two people's travel, but also helps and supports her to contact customers and stand guard; both for Jierong Rong and the men said a few more words and felt angry, but they continued the way of raising money with Jie Rong. The musician treats Jierong very gently, but when Yijuan asks him to see Jierong for the last time, he makes excessive demands. At the juncture of Jierong's life and death, the slowly lit cigarette and the scratches on the car are wiped off. Is it not the evil in human nature? Where was the gentleman who treated Jierong politely before, who sang for her?
Yijuan's father is gentle and generous. He takes care of Yijuan silently and quietly, and does the most just work in the world. In the end, he can't help committing murder because of the heartache of love.
At the end of the film, Yijuan's father took her to her mother's grave to worship, desperately stuffing a lunch box into his mouth until he vomited and cried. Self-defeating. The father never confessed all this to his daughter seriously. He just taught Jie Rong to drive when he was about to leave. In the future, Jie Rong's life path will depend on her to walk by herself, even if it started like she had just started. When she stumbled while learning to drive, her father couldn't accompany her anymore. In the end, her father was taken away by the police. Yijuan's life was like a car stuck in a quagmire. She was left alone in the quagmire at a loss, shouting and struggling. And the desires, contradictions and redemption in this world, who can say clearly?
