After watching the three works of Li Cangdong's "Oasis", "Miryang" and "Poetry", I didn't like the director very much. Some people describe the mood after watching his movie "on the surface, it is calm, but it is actually turbulent". Just like this "Oasis", it seems to tell a story of a deformed love in a straightforward manner, but it actually contains huge energy, reflecting the current situation of society and showing the ugliness of human nature. It makes you tangled, sighs and even a little resentful, but also sheds tears for the love of the hero and heroine. "Oasis" is not a romantic movie in the traditional sense, and the images of the male and female protagonists also run counter to the handsome men and beautiful women in Korean dramas. Zhongdu, played by Xue Jingqiu, is a "ruffian" who has been imprisoned several times and is idle. After he was released from prison, no relatives came to pick him up. Without money, he would rather ask someone for cigarettes and use his last savings to buy a piece of clothes for his mother. When he came to his former residence, what he found was the face of a stranger. In the winter, he was still wearing the summer clothes he had just entered into prison. He was trembling on the phone and asked for coins to make a call, but no one was willing to help him. Fortunately, he was a kind-hearted businessman. Not only did he not want the money for tofu, but he also gave him a box of milk. Hunger and cold forced him to have a big meal at a restaurant, and after being detained in the police station, he met his relatives in this way. The younger brother who came to pick him up was not as happy as he imagined, and we could see his disdain for him in the indifferent words. After returning home, even his mother did not show the slightest joy. As his sister-in-law said: "This family is no different from you, or even better without you." At his brother's request, he found a copy of The work of delivering food, but lost this job in an accident. He is kind. For the sake of his brother and his family, he would rather bear the crime and go to jail for his brother. After being released from prison, he also visited the victim's family, during which he met Gong-soo. When two lonely hearts are intertwined, it is always easy to create sparks, although the first time he tried to rape Gong-soo under the impact of desire, Gong-soo was calmed down because of nervousness and fear of fainting. After that, Chung-doo would always come to see Gong-soo, send her flowers, help her with laundry and wipe the floor, protect her like a general, put her to sleep at night, and take her out to play on weekends...once at Gong-soo's request The next two are enjoying the joy of fish and water, but they are caught by Gongzhu's brother and sister-in-law, and Zhongdu is imprisoned again. After being imprisoned, Chung-doo still keeps in touch with Gong-soo and chops down branches for her, because Gong-soo has said that the shaking shadows make her feel scared when she sees the oasis on the wall. Gong Soo, played by Moon So Ri, has to be impressed with her acting skills. She interprets this patient with severe cerebral palsy as a three-pointer. Whether it is the distorted disability on the body, or the loneliness, yearning, indulgence and joy shown in the eyes. She likes to hold a mirror and let the sunlight reflected from the window shine on the wall. Her happy smile deforms her originally distorted face, but she enjoys it. This is also the first time she sees Zhongdu. She always wanted to catch these reflected bright spots, just like Chung-do. After peeping at her sister-in-law's affair with others, her inner desire was burning, she began to care about her appearance, and she would apply a layer of lipstick for herself. She called Zhongdu "General" and Zhongdu called her "Princess". They needed each other so much and needed to keep themselves warm. When You Chung-do was around, Gong-soo became a real princess. He did everything in his power for her that even Gong-soo never dared to think about before. Chung-doo treats her as a family member, and not only takes her to meet her family, but also stubbornly asks Gong-soo to join him in taking a family photo. Every day when Yoo Chung-do is here, Gong Soo is so happy even if he eats jangjang noodles. Although the word "love" has never been uttered between them, we can know the answer from Gongsoo's fantasy and from Chungdu's desperation. Chung-du is in prison, and Gong-soo is still alone, fending for himself in the old house. The difference is that we can see her transformation. From the beginning, she will only stay in place, and then she will learn to live and start to wipe the floor with a towel. The reason for this change is probably only known to Gong-soo. In addition, the director did not arrange the plot according to the wishes of the audience, and did not leave a happy and happy ending similar to a fairy tale. Chung-doo and Gong-soo, a delinquent young man who just got out of prison, and a disabled person who is lonely at home, they are both marginalized figures in society, and how nondescript it is for them to have a fairy tale ending. At the end of the film, we still see two lonely people. Zhongdu was still caught in prison, and although they all felt injustice for him, for him, life in prison might be more suitable for him than the indifference of the world. Gongsoo is still at his own house, waiting for the meals delivered by the neighbors, waiting for the occasional brother and sister-in-law to visit her, waiting for the letter from Zhongdu... When telling this love, the director also reflected the ugly side of human nature. For example, the brother of Zhongdu in the film, the director holds a critical attitude. The younger brother took the blame for him and became a scapegoat. He didn't know how to thank him, but instead he scorned, beat and scolded him. Even in the face of blackmail and threats from Gongsoo's brother, he said that he did not recognize this younger brother. There is also Gongzhu's brother, who keeps saying that he cares about this disabled sister, how much he pays the neighbors to take care of him every month, but he moves his house in order to live a good life, leaving a sister who is completely unable to take care of herself to live alone. It is also unimaginable for ordinary people, and they scoff at it. Finding that his sister was "humiliated", he didn't think about how to get justice for her sister through just channels, but chose to use the ugly method of money to be private. It can be seen that, like Zhongdu's brother, he is a slave of money. One of the hidden meanings of the film is communication, and it is precisely because of the lack of communication that the following things happen. Although Gongzhu's brother and sister-in-law did not directly show their marriage relationship in the film, we can see that they did not communicate too much. I believe this is also the reason why Gongzhu's sister-in-law cheated. Zhongdu, his brother, brother, and mother barely communicated, and they were blaming him for more time. After Zhongdu was released from prison, we didn't see the relief on the faces of the family, and as a family, we didn't even see the scene of eating together. When the "rape case" happened, Brother Zhongdu didn't ask the reason, and he punched and kicked as soon as he came up. Gongzhu, who could barely speak, was also very anxious when he saw that Zhongdu was arrested, and could only use an almost self-abuse way to attract people's attention, but no one could understand her. It is difficult for us to imagine how the communication between the disabled Gong-soo and the outcast Chung-do, maybe only Chung-do understands Gong-soo, and Gong-soo understands Chung-do. It is loneliness that makes them know and love each other.
