Shixi is only clean, slender, and smiling sweetly. But perhaps it was her blandness that made him afraid that Zhiyu would be pulled away by the frown and smile of the woman who passed by. Se-hee's neuroticism may be innate, or it's only because she is more afraid of losing Ji-woo that she begins to worry about gains and losses, and this neuroticism can't be changed even after she becomes Si-hee. Are women so nervous? Afraid that after a long-term relationship, her boyfriend will get tired of her clothes, her lips, her skin, and even the sound of her barking in bed... Shixi even felt guilty and uneasy about it, and tried to save it with her own efforts. this passion. As everyone knows, when a person is tired of another person, what he (she) does is useless.
The bad thing is that Se-hee really finds out that Ji-woo is tired of herself. When she sees Ji Woo exchanging contact information with beautiful women in a cafe, she will be hysterical, and she will be inexplicably angry when she finds that Ji Woo takes a second look at the beauty who delivers coffee. In Se-hee's own words, as soon as I see those women looking at you, I want to gouge out their eyes. Se-hee, who feels guilty because of her unchanging face, also seems to be trying to use a false tolerance to show her nobility and greatness, the stupid way a stupid woman uses. When Ji Woo does this, it is only Se Hee himself who will collapse. Zhiyu admitted it, and Shixi collapsed. She wrapped her face in a sheet so that she wouldn't show it to Zhiyu. The suffocating depression left everyone at a loss. Ji Woo also said that what I like is your person, not just your body. But no matter how you look at it, it feels fake. Shixi left the next day.
As soon as he left, it was five months of no news.
In the past 5 months, Shixi has changed another face. Ji Woo sometimes waits for Se Hee, and sometimes wants to start another relationship because of loneliness. Se Hee, who became Si Hee, did start a new relationship with Ji Woo, but this made Ji Woo discover that he still loves Se Hee. This plot is not vulgar at all, because there are always a few people who don't know how to keep themselves safe until they lose it before they realize that they love someone so much. How cruel is this punishment, Ji Woo will never get the original Se Hee in his life. Shixi was angry, she knew that she couldn't go back, so she used the paper with her original face as a mask when she went to see Zhiyu. Ji Woo hated, Se Hee collapsed, this world of playing dead people. But who in the end made such a big joke?
I still remember a big tree on the side of the street. During the days when Se-hee disappeared, Ji-woo, who was lonely and unbearable but failed to steal love because of Se-hee's secret threats, felt strongly that she was by his side. He felt that he was being monitored, but Shixi, who was across the street, just watched coldly. He kicked the sturdy tree frantically, venting his anguish and depression. Whether it was hatred or pain, Shixi didn't know at that time, I believed that she would only feel pleasure when she watched him collapse. When Ji Woo also disappeared and tortured Shi Hee in the same way, in an instant, she dramatically became the Ji Woo of the year, walking to the tree feebly and kicking like crazy. Zhiyu is also watching from the sidelines. At this time, the two finally felt each other in a cruel way, so tacit understanding.
Is it only when we torture each other that we can realize our deep roots in that person? Is it only when we hurt each other that we can feel that we are the only one? Is it necessary to wait for both of them to go crazy before they can be hooked?
Actually everyone is the same.
Remember that sculpture park about sex? All the desire for the body is vividly expressed in those sculptures on the beach. As the film progresses slowly, the sculpture park is gradually submerged by the rising tide. The sea is the time that has been silent but has infinite destructive power. Those passions and desires will eventually be swallowed up by time, leaving only a stretch of nothingness.
Se-hee is still looking for Ji-woo, but who knows what Ji-woo has become? She could only feel it by holding the hands of men who could be Ji Woo. Almost found it, but always misunderstood in the end. Is that tight string in Shixi's head about to break? Decided to give up. Is the man with the back messenger bag in the sculpture park holding the camera to take a picture is Ji Woo? I think so, and so does Se-hee who is holding his hand. But are Jin Woo and Ji Woo the same person? Si Hee and Se Hee are so similar, Jin Woo and Ji Woo are so similar, but the director didn't plan to tell us the answer at all. He just wants to torment Sixi and torment us by relying on ambiguity one by one. At this moment, Kim Ki-duk, who was hidden in the dark, slowly appeared half-length, leaned over and whispered to us, look, this is the price you have to pay.
At the subway station, Se-hee almost feels Ji-woo again. She yelled like no one else was there to let him out. With contempt like revenge, like playing a game, Ji Woo flashed a shadow and ran away quickly. Se-hee was chasing him frantically, his woolen coat swaying heavily, his feet wobbly and he lost his balance several times. This game of chasing lasted the entire film, and no one had a chance to win in the end, and no one could catch the person running in front, just to keep them missing. In the end, Ji Woo lay under the wheel with blood on his face. It's ridiculous that Se-hee will never know who Ji-woo is for the rest of her life. Who do you regret? Zhiyu was relaxed, leaving behind Shixi who was tortured in every possible way. Ji Woo brutally flogged her and made her atone for her sins with a lifetime of pain. Director, are you being too cruel? Is this not enough?
At the end, it seems to return to the beginning of the film. Sehee, who was running, bumped into the woman who had just come out of the plastic surgery hospital, and shattered the photo frame depicting the picture of the haggard woman. Se-hee said, wait a minute, wait here, then run away. The woman just turned around slowly and left there. It was Shixi who shattered the frame, and Sixi came out of the hospital. Sixi was originally Shixi, but... didn't everything happen? Can we do it all over again? But this is just for the director to give us a little comfort and reward us with an ending that he thought we could start over again. Unfortunately, the ending was destined. Just like the resurrected man in "Anyang Baby", the policeman who stood up from a pool of blood in "Looking for a Gun"... They are just to give us a jelly bean to give us a little hope.
How can things in this world go so smoothly. Desire is enough to destroy a country, let alone an ordinary pawn. We want too much, but people have to pay a price for everything they do. Either they are reining in the precipice or one slip can lead to eternal hatred. Whoever lets the time pass, there is no turning back.
