man becomes poetry

In Li Cangdong's "Poems",
people become poetry, which moved me. I was moved by
Li Cangdong's use of images and voice to write poetry . The protagonist mother-in-law in "Poem" was originally a poet, but her daily life made her become another person. After fifty years of separation, she met her former self again, wrote a poem with her life, and became a poem herself. Her poetic life is incompatible with the people around her, because most people have been paralyzed by reality, almost insensitive. Her story moved me and my life was in turmoil. I don't necessarily write poetry, and life is unlikely to be turned into poetry. However, I think I will try to see human nature, life and the world with the eyes of poetry. I think a place like Hong Kong really needs poetry, so that we don't get too caught up in it.

    Good story, good performance, no shortcomings

    After watching this film, Lee Chang-dong became my favorite Korean director. There is tenderness in the bland, no matter how intense things are, they must be covered by life on the surface. You can really feel it, but you can't directly witness it. What you can see is like the imagery in poetry. The film's rich intertextuality in the plot and the intertextuality with "Miryang", the expression of the whole film is subtle, euphemistic, and meaningful. Poetry is written with life and kindness towards the world.
