Away, away from everything in the past! Imprisonment, possession, escape and return. About selfish humanity, unreasonable sacrifices, smiles. Telling stories of desolation in barren waters.
"bow".
Without a word, Kim Ki-duk, as always. A fair-skinned woman who prefers thick eyebrows, has eyes that are inclusive and can't tell clearly. It's always a cold winter, there's no place, no great themes. In the cold, women always wear flowing skirts, sweaters of mixed colors, smooth skin with slender legs, and youthful bodies. Similar to "The Drifting Room". Water ghost-like woman, suffocating almost perverted love, you can't understand how it continues.
A bow that represents power and beauty, sometimes tight and sometimes loose. Protection or possession, attack and tenderness, only in relaxation. Waters, mottled boats aimlessly in the middle of the water, one person passes by, one person moves away. Words are superfluous, they don't need to exist in their world, expressions are plentiful and winks are complex. Broken national flags, Buddha statues riddled with holes, rudely driving guests off fishing boats, what's the point of these? Just for this girl, a girl raised since childhood, love her, marry her, what else is there to do with him? Whether it was kidnapping or taking in, he treated her tenderly, she was the dream left in his heart, the ultimate destination, so he could put the rope around his neck when she decided to leave.
She stayed. Still beautiful smile, charming, indifferent, charming. pure. They are smiling so happily at the moment, the outside world is so far away, and the wedding dress is bright. That handsome boy who represents the outside world is just nothing. She slept, white. The arrow that the old man shot into the sky disappeared. He jumped into the water reverently and without any regrets, sinking, and the waves were calm.
In the blood of the virgin, representing the holiness, the most devout ritual of life is completed.

    The tail of the bow that appears at the beginning of the film is very much like a male erect penis, so the bow itself and its owner are the embodiment of desire. However, the old man may be a sexually impotent person, so he trusts in the "marriage ceremony" and other external desires to possess. But when it is irretrievable, one can only rely on the bow and arrow symbolizing desire to complete the symbolic mingling. At this time, the possession is completed and the possession is ended.
