"Avenging Girl" is one of the continuation themes in Korean movies. From the masterpieces of Korean film history "The Second Girl" and "The Devil's Stage" in the 1960s to the "Kind Gold" that has been familiar to fans all over the world in the past ten years, the special "male chauvinism" social structure has made Korean filmmakers always respond to The subject of "Vengeful Girl" has a soft spot. This year coincides with the fiftieth anniversary of the release of "The Second Girl". Director Lin Changshu's remake tribute version has successfully entered the main competition unit of Cannes with Jeon Doyeon's breakthrough appearance and other gimmicks, but the reputation is not so satisfactory. To say that this year's work with Jin Qiyong's "Second Girl" temperament is undoubtedly this "Jin Funan". Director Hong Sang-soo, who is good at squeezing the relationship between Korean men and women, has such a comment on the relationship between men and women in Korean society, "Women are the future of men." But this is far less brilliant than the old Jin Qiyong's summary, "a man is a waste, a woman is a monster, and a monster gets rid of the waste." "Jin Funan" is another such a perfect interpretation of how monsters get rid of waste.
Jin Funan was born in a farming society that is still extremely worshipping male roots. It is only a matter of time before ordinary rural women turn into bloodthirsty murder monsters, but Director Zhang Zhezhu deconstructed this isolated island murder case through a more feminist perspective. Jin Funan suffered all the humiliation on the isolated island, and his only reliance was his daughter and childhood playmate Haiyuan. The relationship between these two women and Jin Funan played a fatal role when Jin Funan suddenly changed. The tragic death of her daughter and the indifference of her playmates left Jin Funan in extreme despair. Only killing can make the decision for herself. Although he is a rookie director, Zhang Zhezhu is a master at the low mood of the audience. The plasma sprayed everywhere on the screen, full of curious killing methods, made the audience dare not relax until the end of the film. Regarding the excessive violence and gore of the film, the review article of the "Hollywood Reporter" mentioned that "endless carnage, it is estimated that even the director himself does not know where to lead the violence." This question is like a line in the movie Haiwon, "Kim Funam, why don't you escape to a big city like Seoul alone?"
Assuming that Kim Funam is a woman who has received a high-level education in a so-called civilized society, should she go? Pick up weapons such as the law to protect your rights? Obviously, Jin Funan, who is illiterate, is not such an elite woman.
Xu Yingji, the actor of Jin Funan, may feel a bit familiar. Seo Young Hee is the prostitute who was cut off in the movie "The Chaser" that set off the scene of the extremely violent Korean movie in recent years. This time she seemed to be possessed by "The Chaser", holding a butcher knife, ten steps per person. Although compared with Jin Funan's superb acting skills, the other heroine Hai Yuan is not too conspicuous. But the beginning and the end drawn by her are really something that people can remember for a long time. The opening part of "Jin Funan" may surprise the less sober audience, "Is this a remake of Sam Raimi's B-rated comeback last year, Drag Me to Hell (Drag Me to Hell)? ) "?" Don't be too impatient, look on, you will find yourself unknowingly entering a wild island. Isolated islands and women are indispensable elements in the works of Korean director Kim Ki-young. Since "Jin Funan" is more of Jin Qiyong's essence than the official remake of "The Second Girl" this year, you might as well pay attention to the last scene of the film. When Haiyuan slowly lay down on the ground and turned into a woman island, this is the biggest finishing touch of the film. Isn't this bloody island the same as director Jin Qiyong's other masterpiece "Island of Fish"? Just like the curse in "The Island of Alien Fish", anyone who sees this island will not escape the fate of death.
The film repeatedly repeats what everyone said about Jin Funan, "You are too unkind." It is really like gold, is the image of the vengeful woman in Korean movies like Jin Funan not kind enough, or even too cruel? What is still unkind is just the world in which these revenge girls live.
