The formation of Kim Kidd’s view of the world is of course closely related to his own experience. Kim Kidd’s own youth grew up in the Cheonggyecheon River depicted in the movie. In this industrial base, as an ordinary worker who has not studied in school for a few days, Kim Kim is dealing with machines all day long. Here he saw how humble and pitiful a person can live for a few dollars, and he saw how to make a living, how people take their humanity away and become an instrumental part of this industrial monster, so he wants to be in the movie To portray the world. Not far from Cheonggyecheon is high-rise buildings, and urban civilization seems to be invading Cheonggyecheon. The original industrial base is slowly disappearing. The workers in the movie keep saying that it will become a high-rise building soon, but these prosperity and these workers It has nothing to do. No one pays attention to their lives, and their sorrow and pain will not disappear with the disappearance of the factory buildings. Kim Kidd walked out from here, so he always carried a painful memory.
In "Holy God", these memories become people who borrow usury one after another. They have already degenerated into tools spiritually, and they are destroyed again physically because of usury. This is the pessimistic and dark side of Jin Ji De. He believes that people are extremely fragile, and many difficulties are difficult or even impossible to get rid of. This is true for workers, and so is Jiangdao. Jiangdao’s dilemma is the lack of loving care and the gradual loss of normal human emotional capacity. So he is a cruel beast, who can cruel people who owe money without mercy, but he is also a lonely poor creature. His sense of loneliness and self-enclosure even make him unable to even call a prostitute, only time and time again. Masturbation solves the problem of biological instinct. It is also because of his loneliness that when he thinks his mother really appears, he will show incomparable attachment.
But his so-called "mother" was not his redeemer, but approached him for revenge, and all he did was to completely destroy Jiang Dao spiritually. But "Mother" finally finished her revenge with death, but I don't think it is a completely tragic ending for Jiang Dao and her. Although the "mother" still failed to forgive Jiang Dao, the feelings between him and Jiang Dao actually filled part of her pain of losing her son. Although she finally insisted on her plan to avenge Jiang Dao by "death", But what she left in the world was not entirely hatred and pain. She planted the seeds of love and redemption in Jiang Dao's heart.
Although Jiang Dao lost his "mother" and returned to the world of loneliness, his humanity and emotional ability were awakened, and he finally completed his salvation by death. His death was not meaningless, because after awakening, he left the world not as a beast but as a person. The final outcome of Jiang Dao and "Mother" is to choose to die, but Kim Kidd here shows his relative warmth to the world. Although it is death, the love between the two actually cured them of cruelty. The pain in the world. Kim Kidd still has a trace of trust and expectation for the love between people. He still believes that love has a certain meaning for the salvation of people, just like the worker who is addicted to alcohol and has disabled hands, despite his soul and body. He received a devastating blow, but he still had a wife who could hug him. The hand that his wife put on his back was always telling him that there is a love connection between people, and it’s a good life. There are reasons for optimism, and every disabled person still has the possibility of being redeemed.
