Li Cangdong is really good. The accumulation of novelists makes the story of this film very complete. Almost every line serves the characters and stories. The use of materials is very economical and efficient. I personally like this kind of economical script very much. There are a lot of talkative directors, and the dialogue is a lot of chatter. The language itself has no taste, and it has no effect on the plot advancement and character creation.
The backward train, the fragility of human nature, the changes of society, watching how the characters' characters are built up step by step, textbook-level script. The most important thing is that the girls in the film are not bad looking!
However, I have recently become habitually judging the psychology of the director. In other words, I should have thought so long ago, but my talent is dull, and I only reacted now. It's quite interesting to see the film in this light.
Before and after the film, there are 4 women who take the initiative to fall in love with the male protagonist. It is not surprising that the director who made up the story from a male perspective wrote this scene. After all, every man dreams of being a heartthrob. It is not enough to be a prince charming in the eyes of a beautiful woman. To be a prince charming in the eyes of a group of beautiful women is enough to satisfy vanity. Heart.
The male protagonist in the film did not know how to cherish when he was young, and was reckless and cowardly. I have a little ambition, I don't succeed in doing things, and I don't know regret until I lose it. It is not surprising that a director who made a story from a female perspective wrote this scene, because in the eyes of women, men are naive and childish in many things, and women of the same age often understand some of the truth of life earlier than men. As Kato Taka said: only women look at the world calmly, while men are always chasing their dreams foolishly.
So, did Lee Chang-dong write this story from a male perspective or from a female perspective? Perhaps this is the genius of the novelist's strategy? In any case, I hope there are more and more good movies like this.
