As for the images, metaphors and symbols in "Bow", everyone has analyzed them very well and deeply. The bow, as an image of several symbolic meanings, is really special and in place. Hardly a second of the film is actually redundant, and it's very well edited.
When writing novels, I like to use the first person. This is actually a very difficult task, because in first-person novels, one cannot directly write about the psychological activities of other characters, but can only tell readers about the characters’ feelings through external perception. feelings and moods. Actually, that's what movies are. In addition to the necessary narration that drives the plot, the emotions of the characters must be expressed through external actions. Kim Ki-duk obviously understands this very well, so when he shoots, he simply omits the language, and uses expressions, eyes, and movements to express the characters.
This kind of film has high requirements on the acting skills of the actors. The old man in "The Bow" is really good at acting. He vividly performed an old man who was tormented by lust and full of love for young girls.
