What is he falling in love with?

At the beginning of the story, Sunwoo I saw was a robot with no emotions, indifferent expression and no impurities.
But when he saw Hee Soo, the small movements in front of Hee Soo made the originally surly Sun Woo a little at a loss. When he saw Hee Soo dancing with other men in the bar, Sun Woo was just sitting coldly in the dark.


What is he falling in love with, Hee Soo? Or is it just seeing the beauty in the world?

When Shanyu was stabbed several times in front of the sink, he said, "Why did things develop like this, and why?" Maybe he didn't know.

Jin Zhiyun is very good at making this kind of movies, about violence and human nature. Seeing the male protagonist in the devil, he finally burst into tears in the rain. He used the most cruel way to end the life of the perverted killer who killed her fiancee, but all of this was meaningless. The little bastard in the blowfly has got love, got affection, got friendship. Learned to forgive, and when I was about to embark on a good life, it ended, just like there is no such person in this world. The same goes for a sweet life. The realism, quietness and tolerance of the blowfly. See the exaggeration, violence, and gore of the devil. The coolness, delicacy and sadness of a sweet life.


I can't be sure, what Sun Woo did, and what he got. He stood in front of Boss Jiang and asked why you were so heartbreaking to me, but Jiang just said indifferently, because you insulted me, what did he insult, maybe Sunwoo should be like a robot. In Jiang's eyes, his woman was not allowed to empathize, and his dog was not allowed to have emotions.

Perhaps as Shan Woo himself said before he died, all of this is ridiculous. The explanation of the title at the end of the film is a bit cumbersome. It's better to give people an imagination. There are a thousand imaginations of Hamlet in the eyes of a thousand people.

Still have to say, Li Bingxian is really good, the stern feelings can really be revealed incisively, sad, arrogant, violent, perverse, indifferent, and the end of the film is the childlike innocence who is practicing boxing in the mirror.

    The power of that smile when playing the qin is comparable to that of Lu Bu, the prince of Fenghuo Opera, against Dong Zhuo.

    Sun-woo: [Ignores his question, rebukes] Why would you do this to me, Mr. Kang?

    Mr. Kang: Because you did not follow my orders.
