This is really a very powerful work, the first and foremost is the heroine. The strong poetic temperament of Liang Meizi played by Yin Jingji always makes her out of tune with the surrounding environment, but the smell she exudes makes the vulgar people around her show a kind of vitality and sentiment.
Although life is not good, living in a remote town, her daughter is a single mother, and she can barely support herself and her grandson on welfare and a meager part-time job, but Liang Meizi's pursuit of beauty and poetry remains the same - even when she goes out He also insists on dressing up delicately, loves all kinds of flowers, and listens to the sound of the wind blowing through the leaves in the afternoon like a young girl—this kind of sentiment seems a little out of place for such a poor old man, but he does not sink in the mundane affairs, and he will keep it forever. The fresh side and the love of life may be the inspiration brought by Liang Meizi's grandmother to modern people.
However, such a clean and beautiful beauty met a series of dirty and cruel reality - a 16-year-old girl committed suicide by jumping into a river, and the reason was because her grandson and five other underage teenagers repeatedly lj her, school, The parents of the other five children are rational and numb about handling this matter. They can't get the money and have to commit themselves to a bad old man... Meizi is very simple. She only has beauty in her heart, so she is indifferent to the death of the girl around her. It was very difficult to understand and accept. Miko is so passive in the so-called negotiation and resolution of the aftermath, which also reflects her resistance to this irresponsible and selfish approach. The virtues of the older generation are worthless under the impact of realistic rationality. Meizi is using a poetic method to resist unconsciously. When talking with other parents for the first time, she would rather go out and record her feelings about a flower. When other parents want her to comfort the girl's mother with impure motives Talked to each other about some beautiful natural things - Kyoko fell to the ground, only to be trampled on, preparing for the next life (the best portrayal of the heroine). The things that are not good in this world, Miko is always free, so in this film the heroine is always so lonely walking on the streets of the town, farmland, and reservoirs, saying things that others can't understand.
Meizi cried twice, once with the old man, and once after the banquet at the Poetry Club, which represented her dream breaking when poetry and cruel reality collided. Meizi struggled to maintain the world of poetry. She was dissatisfied with the sheriff's insult to poetry with obscene language, projecting her helpless resistance to the bigger insults in reality.
Miko can't make poetry, probably because the dark reality has been oppressing her poetry; and the completion of the last poem proves the temporary dissolution of this oppression - the matter is exposed, and the girl's justice can be served. Miko and the girl merged at the last moment because they had something in common - the girl would kill herself to prove that she too had a quest for the good, so she couldn't bear it when it shattered; they were both so close to death - can't help but remember One person in the choir has just finished talking about his thoughts about the dead grandmother, the next person talks about his love for the newborn child, and then the next person talks about the hardships and happiness of life - Alice's death and the resurrection of Meizi's inspiration seem to It is a kind of reincarnation, and their union gives birth to the most sincere compliment to life.
I suspect that it was actually Miko who reported the police to the police on the day she cried, because Miko knew from a series of ruthless reactions from her grandson that the only chance for her to truly repent was to let him bear the consequences of his own mistakes. And what she said to that reporter Miko was intentional. Only to compensate the girl's mother, she didn't call the police until all the money was paid. This is the resistance of the older generation, the poetic cleansing of this era.

    The title of the word "poetry" is written in Korean on the river in that scene. It is "poetic" in the text, but it must be parallel to the violence, and the running script writes the title vertically like the tip of a knife. Perhaps the best It interprets the intense emotion deep in the film's long serenity.

    Rewatch. Writing poetry and filming are both creations. When you lose your senses and face hardships, how do you return to the fresh experience to extract "poetry"? Suspended in order to achieve the phenomenon, that is, abandoning the family and respectability, clearly conforming to the rules but secretly deviating from it. It is also a self-referential, the image of jumping off the cliff clearly points out the suffering of the creators inside and outside. How can audiences outside the film appreciate poetry? Invited to join the process of "poetry" creation, rather than just seeing the signifier or the meaning refined by others.
