Cruelly, I met the right person

I say this on the premise that the time is not right.
This is the most profound and personal experience of watching "The Bow".
Similarly, now I am writing this in the early morning of "April 9 with an average of 5 degrees Celsius" because I have met the right movie at the wrong time.
Fascinated by the movie, I had to postpone my plan to go to bed in the freezing cold again.
I'm afraid that tomorrow, the feeling of cold-blooded animals will be gone, and then I will only write something about hippie smiles.

In the film, if the girl hadn't met a college student, she might have been living a peaceful life that was at most broken by rogue boat passengers.
Smile after every rescue from the old man's angry bow and arrow. (regardless of the smile behind it is thanks or love)
I squat quietly in the bathtub every night and let the old man rub his back, and habitually let the old man hold hands when he sleeps.
Then she married an old man on her seventeenth birthday a few months later...
but the arrival of the ship made the girl and the college student meet, and made both hearts turbulent.
The right person has met!

At that time, the old man had already started to buy wedding dresses and supplies, looking forward to that day with joy.
He even couldn't wait to tear off the entire calendar and push the time forward.
From this point of view, the encounter between girls and college students is too bad.
The timing is wrong, it would only be cruel.

The girl quietly dug out the wedding dress prepared by the old man, put it on, and expressed her affection for college students with the dress.
The cruel thing is that it is an unknown waiting.
The girl stubbornly put on her earphones to feel the freshness and constant temperature that college students once brought to her life.
The cruel thing is that there is no md (or mp3) box on the other end of the headset that can make the headset sound, and it was thrown by the old man.
(It is an honor to experience the cruelest place that Kim Ki-duk sets in the first half of the film, accompanied by gorgeous traditional strings, and the poignant beauty reaches the first climax.)
The girl stood at the bow of the boat and silently looked at the plane in the sky, hoping to be as free as the plane could go wherever she wanted.
The cruel thing is that she hasn't left this ship for ten years, and she doesn't know if she will have the chance to leave in the future.

The college student came again soon after, this time he wanted to take the girl away.
But how could the old man give up, the 10-year watch is about to bear fruit!
All the old man has to do is to drive the college students off the boat.
Cruelly, he couldn't drive the college student away from the girl's heart.

Although it was a bad time, the college students came again.
This time, the old man had to let the girl go in the face of his own fortune-telling results.
Cruelly, the method of his retention turned out to be a cable wrapped around his neck.
In this way, the girl's departure also took away his pain.
He no longer has to face the rest of his life alone.

The hull was pulled, and the girl looked back along the rope, guessing the stupid thing the old man had done, and turned back again.
Cruel again, the girl even agreed to hold a wedding with the old man.
At this point, the climax of the movie has come, and the gorgeous national costumes and national musical instruments that were previously brewed are fully revealed.
I was so amazed that my brain opened, as if I could comprehend what national culture is!

After the complicated traditional wedding was over, the old man took out his bow and shot it into the sky and then into the sea.
The film critic said that this is a symbol of the old man incarnated as a bow!
Then he followed the bow down from the sky and returned to the boat to meet the girl, God!
Is this also the cruelty brought about by the wrong time?

    Whoever made the film... Kim Ki-duk left the world and came to the undisturbed sea. The conflict between the old man and the college student is the conflict between him and the civilized world. His moving romantic scenes must have come from the imagination when he was alone, but they were exhausted after filming. He has no rules and no training, so the film is loose and ugly. His so-called philosophy is also a fragmented life experience. Anyway, a very dangerous creator

    Why does Kim Kidd’s movies always add a "erotic" label?
