This is a Chinese-style porn

If you have read "Jin Ping Mei" or "Fu Fu Tuan" and other erotic novels in the Ming Dynasty, you will find that the Chinese were ridiculous at that time. Of course, if you have read the booklet about "Preventing the Harm of Masturbation" that was popular in the streets of London, England in the 18th century, you will also find some common points. That is: Although they are veritable pornographic books, they always add a lot of humanity and morality.
Thanks to the recommendation of my friends, I watched many movies by Kim Kidd. I admire his challenge to the morals and ethics of the East very much. But this movie has a strong commercial color. I don't like it very much. It feels like a film made to stimulate the senses and ethical nerves. This movie is very similar to another Korean movie "Old Boy". The latter deliberately arranged the incest scene between the father and the daughter in the movie, and used the meticulously sketched plot to make the audience feel that it could only be so.
Both films are challenging the bottom line of Eastern morality, but it is ironic that the distortion of Eastern morality lies in the duality, which is the characteristic of all extreme ascetic sects. On the one hand, the oriental shouted loudly for girls' chastity, on the other hand, they were sordidly making them more commoditized.
This film is a defilement of beauty. There is no doubt about this. He put two extreme little girls, they are beautiful but extremely closed and chaotic. Kim Kidd has portrayed this kind of girl image in many movies: innocence, confusion, and ignorance. The director is using the images of oriental women to outline the state of the girls in this extreme patriarchal society: at the mercy of others, helpless, ignorant and easy to become moral victims.
However, this movie gave me a bad feeling. First, the film lacks imagination, and second, the film lacks breakthroughs and has no solution. Just like the contemporary Chinese documentary "There is no human rights, no thoughts, no legal system, no laws of the jungle, women are oppressed, people are oppressed, unable to make a sound, human life is like weeds!"-we all know, then... you Can you say something I don't know? Shouldn't we criticize? Shouldn't you resist? Shouldn't it be explored? Is it just a so-called "truthful" reflection?
So I say this is a commercial movie, because Westerners just like these things, which are in line with their usual Eastern aesthetic: extreme, tender, and cold. I think the director should have more self-insight and originality. And this movie is not at all.
