In fact, this is not just a "wild lily has spring", or "a fierce life needs no explanation" movie.
It tells the love story of a social fringe and a woman with cerebral palsy because of her reckless behavior and immature thinking.
Lao Luo once said that a fierce life does not need explanation, and further explained that there are only two situations he will explain, one is the misunderstanding of friends and relatives, and the other is involving the law, and the male protagonist of this film, even these two Explanation in the case is abandoned. This film is about how a man and a woman begin their love story amid a huge social misunderstanding.
Hong Zhongyuan, who is 28 years old, is still innocent. On the bright side, he is kind, enthusiastic, and an adult who maintains a childlike heart; He can't survive in society in a "normal" way. He steals money if he wants (although he deserves it), drives without a license in order to take a woman with cerebral palsy out for a ride, and even drives a customer of his brother's car repair shop for a while. all day. He's a man who sees nothing but the consequences--to a normal person, his intelligence is not normal.
Beginning with an attempted sexual assault, he fell in love with a woman with cerebral palsy - who they can relate to, or who he thinks is only worthy of falling in love with a disabled person. However, he treats love like everything else in a childlike way. He is immature, and he is wholeheartedly good to her, loves her in his own way, completely disregarding the rules of the world (in fact, normal love is not like this), and finally in a series because he is unwilling to explain or feels that no one believes the explanation. In the misunderstanding of the two, their love blossomed.
In the end, they were like normal lovers. After several dates, when their love was strong, they went to the clouds and rain together. This also became the pinnacle of their love, and after a few minutes, it took a sharp turn.
The ending of the movie is open-ended. The pessimistic ending may be that he was tortured to death in prison (his family may dredge the police and prevent him from coming out again), the optimistic ending may be that after he is released from prison, he will be with the cerebral palsy woman until she dies--- But this ending is not optimistic. How can they survive the huge misunderstanding of the whole society? Almost impossible.
Li Changdong was born as a writer, and the writer's film is of course expressing grand themes with ordinary things.
So, from this film, it is inevitable to recall some philosophical issues, Norm, the conflict between social paradigms and human nature, is the first to think. The author may want to say that in Korean society, these two people are not allowed to live, and their happiness cannot be tolerated. If they want to survive, they can only accept the social paradigm: that is, Hong Zhongyuan should work hard, work diligently to earn money to support his family, and support himself. The cerebral palsy girl Gongzhu will continue to live alone in the room, looking at the oasis tapestry on the wall, and spend one day after another in despair, until she dies (she doesn't even have the ability to commit suicide).
Social paradigms are powerful and always use the excuse of "I'm here for your own good" to impose all kinds of unreasonable on everyone. Especially traditional Asian societies like South Korea do not recognize the diversity of life and human nature. This kind of social leader first "self-castrated" to adapt to the society (of course, the official word is "mature"), and then to anyone who intentionally or unintentionally disobeyed or challenged the social paradigm (this kind of person is naturally big and unwilling to self-regulate). castrated), spared no effort to suppress it, and it must be eliminated and then quickly. Usually, the former type of person is hypocritical, numb, and fierce (represented by Hong Zhongyuan's elder brother), while the latter type of person is naive, warm, and simple. The middle one (Hong's younger brother) is in the process of castration. There will be a little bit of humanity left - that's why the two people who went to the police station to bail him out were his younger brother.
The people in this movie, from the protagonists to the waiters of a small hot pot restaurant, might as well be.
The director specially filmed a few scenes of love with Hong Zhongyuan when the cerebral palsy woman fantasized about being a healthy person. In fact, in their minds, this kind of beauty exists. Just because she has cerebral palsy, these beauty have become ridicule. These scenes are poignant and romantic, contrasting with reality, making people cry.
