I remember a friend once said to me that the reason why I like watching Korean dramas is just because they are unreal and beautiful. Because seeing the cruelty of reality, I would rather believe that those hypotheses are possible. But there is never any bright element in Kim Ki-duk's works. All kinds of extreme masochistic and neurotic manifestations grabbed the hearts of people with similar personalities from the beginning, and as the complex developed more and more intense, at the end, what they faced at the end was only collapse.
--Do you have a girlfriend?
—She left silently six months ago.
- Didn't say anything?
——…….
-Are you still waiting for her?
- Sometimes wait, sometimes not. Over time,
I don't remember.
Here are some dialogues from the movie. Kim Ki-duk named the film Time, which may not have much to do with the theme of the film at first glance. But inadvertently, a man who is basically equivalent to the role of a passer-by suddenly said a very depressing sentence: After you have been with a woman for two years, you need to find a new woman. It's not that there's no emotion, it's two completely different things. It's just that you may have grown tired of her body.
It seems that it is indeed so.
So the heroine Se-hee in the film changed her name and her face. And when she appeared in front of the actor Ji Woo with a new look and re-attracted the actor with such a new look, she would still continue to ask what the former Se Hee's status was in Ji Woo's heart, and whether he still loved her as before . But when it was confirmed that Ji Woo's feelings still belonged to Se Hee, who was her former self, Se Hee, who changed Si Hee's name, didn't know if it was what she wanted. Is this what I want? In our relationship, is it the Shixi that he was tired of but unforgettable, or the Sixi that left some deep impressions in his heart, but can't take the place of Shixi? Why am I so sad? Why can't I see my own face that I have been familiar with for many years in his eyes?
I always thought that the theme that Kim Ki-duk was trying to explore in this film was similar to a song by Faye Wong many years ago:
If you are a fake mind and soul living in another body, do I still love you?
A love game, the purpose is to explore the mystery of love. Is there any logic in it? Finally, our male protagonist was also overwhelmed and changed his appearance, which was evened out.
But there is a foreshadowing: whether the two will meet again later, the film does not give a clear answer. I believe this will be a matter of opinion. It was during such an uncertain search that Sixi saw that the male protagonist who might have changed his face suffered a car accident (no creativity, it seems that all Korean dramas have such a bridge, but it seems that only such an arrangement can end~) I stumbled to the clinic where I used to have plastic surgery, so that my face would never be recognized by anyone.
When she walked out of the hospital, she met Se-hee who had not undergone plastic surgery. Perhaps, this is an arrangement to abandon herself from now on, and no one knows who she is and where she will go.
Going back to the beginning of the film again, Se-hee shatters the picture frame in the hands of the strange woman and takes it to repair. The strange woman hesitated for a moment and then turned to leave. And Zhiyu said that the woman in the photo looks a little neurotic, not the type he likes. The girl at the bar stopped and hit Ji Woo's car, apologized and handed him a business card. Shixi became jealous and rushed over to scold the vixen. So in the midst of constant explanations and reiterations, the story is opened up again (in this way to force some people to relive it.)
She must love him very much.
Love itself is always enviable, but the form of expression is never acceptable to everyone.
