A floating dream

I have always wanted to write something to talk about Park Chan-wook, and my brain-dead fan should always show love. However, I didn’t expect that the first article I would comment on would be this "Robot Love", which is not considered to be appreciated in Park Chan-wook’s work by looking at the ratings, but I have to say something willful, anyway. I like it very much.
This liking is probably mainly determined by my own aesthetic taste, not just because the director and screenwriter is Park Chan-wook. Because I myself can't resist this kind of movie with fantastic stories, colorful and dreamy settings, and romantic and treacherous atmosphere. This kind of film is like an old lady wearing colorful cheeks with shriveled cheeks and dentures telling jokes, and it also reveals a lovely cold humor. Therefore, I would like "Angels Love Beauty", "Black Shop Rhapsody", "Wife-killing Story" and "Dream Traveler". Well, during the process of watching this movie, the pictures of these films all tremble like bird wings. Swipe across my mind.
Unlike the first film review, if I said it, I would say that Park Chan-wook is a truly warm director.
The story of "Old Boy" is of course cruel, and Park Chan-wook’s narrative is naturally violent and bloody, but when Wu Daxiu lay on the ground to learn the dog barking and the end of the film hugs with a girl in red in the snow, the girl says "I love you" and When Wu Daxiu's face showed a painful but satisfying smile, this beautiful and sad scene made me feel warm and moved. I suddenly felt that nothing really matters anymore. Two extremely lonely people licked each other's wounds during hypnosis. Even the love of each other like wild beasts became the greatest comfort at this moment.
The ending of "The Kind Gold" is also snowing. The little girl gave Jin a white cake. The cake naturally symbolizes the purity of gold that can never be returned. Gold dropped her head into the cake, and the girl embraced her, still retaining the hope of a new start amidst the melodious chants.
"I Want Revenge" will be a little more gloomy than the previous two, with a less ostentatious style, but more focused on telling the story. It is also the only one in my eyes that he can be called tragic and desperate.
Bong Joon Ho is the opposite of Park Chan Wook. Every time I finish watching Feng Junhao's work, there will always be a huge cold feeling, full of cold air. Whether it is "Han River Monster", "Memories of Murder" or "Mother", in the final analysis, the focus is on the weak in society. They are often ignored mercilessly, and then begin brutal killings, or aberrant confrontations. In the end, there is always no room left. The eyes of his lens staring at the world are very indifferent. The real darkness and despair is reflected in his films. From a certain point of view, I very much agree that Bong Junho is the best director in Korea. He is impeccable in narrative skills, and the depth of film excavation is extremely deep and the text capacity is huge.
However, I still prefer Park Chan-yu who plays the style so superbly and visually, I can only lament why you are so awesome.
This film is also amazingly cute and soft, just like a fairy tale. So I saw how Park Chan-wook was full of childlike innocence, and how amazing his imagination was.
The lovely Yingjun, talking to the vending machine, the telephone, and the radio, walked into the clock and made hiccups.
Yishun’s obsessive-compulsive disorder, wearing a rabbit mask and two small hairs on his head, can also steal other people’s abilities and thoughts.
Eating pickled radish feels like the grandmother of a mouse.
People who walk backwards feel that life is their own fault and constantly apologize to others.
There are also peppermint oil sherbet socks and persimmon socks invented by fat women. Even the name sounds very attractive, and they can fly by friction.
A fully charged toe will light up, and bullets and rice tubes will fly from your fingers. What exactly is Park Chan-wook's brain made of? How many weird and absurd ideas does he have?
What I like most is the setting when everyone has a meeting. The arched building is full of post-modern style.
It is consistent with "Wife Killing", several separate lines are blended. For example, "Wife Killing" is that the father who thought he was a bird really flew up and saved Tadanobu Asano who was about to commit suicide. It was Yishun who gave Yingjun a dreamy sleep flight with the singing voices and socks that others used to exchange with him. For example, Kyusok said that when his life is about to end, his elastic band will be pulled to the limit, which corresponds to the later grandma. When I came to find Yingjun, the elastic band on his body prevented them from getting close. With a "pop", he returned to the origin of life.
What I am obsessed with is the clever screenwriting technique that secretly ambushes before and after.
What everyone is looking for is actually a reason for existence. In this increasingly noisy but increasingly desolate world, we are all beginning to get lost. However, this film is like an incredible absurd dream, giving us a wonderful feeling as if floating, immersed in deep romantic feelings.
It is precisely because Park Chan-wook is really gentle that he did not give death as their home like in "Dream Traveler", but gave them a rainbow after the rain.
Therefore, the eyebrows couldn't help being happy.
When I watched this film, it happened to be "No More Lonely" in the song.
It suddenly occurred to me that this is probably what Yishun tried to do for Yingjun in this film. You and I are all outcasts of the world. In their eyes, we are all lunatics, and I don't want you to be alone.
Far away, we walk together,
I want to fly, in each of your colorful dreams,
tell you that I love you

    I really like it anyway. It's just that the ending is a little unclear. Park Zanyu is not dark, but still unrestrained, yet so romantic and treacherous, how soft and warm he is actually. Burping Clock, Sleep Flight, Beautiful Singing Voice, Death is an Elastic Band, Steal Your Powers, Brush Your Teeth Small, Rabbit Masks, People Who Walk Backwards Constantly Apologizing, Mice and Pickled Radishes, Dentures and Mouse, Toe Batteries. Experience a storm and watch the rainbow together.

    take my thursday; steal my sympathy and dentures; fly me while singing "Miss Beautiful Switzerland"; leave me in tears before surgery; wipe the dust from my guts; transform the energy of rice for me, There is also a special lifetime warranty card; we work hard to translate the last words of the grandmother, and then wait for the 100,000 volts to hit the body. In the end, you disappear as a point, and in the end, I explode into dust and the world ends.

  • Cha Young-goon: Mom, I think I'm a cyborg.

    Young-goon's mother: ...What is that?

    Cha Young-goon: I think it's kind of... like a robot?

    Young-goon's mother: ...Have you missed your period? Because you're a 'sy-bor'?

  • Woman on the radio: Time for meditation. Get up and listen to the hum of the fridge in the middle of the night. On a cold winter morning... Feel the sound of the boiler, it has been running all night. They move us to tears because they have a purpose of existence. Think of the lighthouse's holy and beautiful heart of love... To be continued.

    Cha Young-goon: [exhales] If only I had just one purpose of existence, too.
