A show I've always wanted to watch. The sentence "Don't trust your own memory" at the end made me dazed for a while, thinking that everything was overturned, and all of this was done by Kim Byung-soo alone. Can't make sense. I searched for relevant information and found that I was watching the release version, and there was a director's version.
Then write down your understanding of the ending of the release version!
Finally, the scene in the tunnel. I think it was Kim Byung Soo himself after he committed suicide, and Min Tae Joo, the patrolman in front, just means that Min died before him, and that tunnel is also the gate to hell. So I think Kim Byung-soo rescued his daughter Eun-hee, killed Patrolman Min Tae-joo, and then committed suicide.
First of all, Kim Byung-soo has every reason to try his best to protect Eun-hee, even at the expense of himself.
Kim Byung-soo said in his autobiography, "It's harder to raise one person than to kill ten people." In the film, his description of this memory is that after a car accident, he returned home with blood all over his head, and he originally wanted to kill that man with a fierce look It's not his daughter's child, but facing Enxi who has been crying and calling his father and is helpless, he may have thought of himself who was also helpless when he was a child, so his brain was extremely stimulated. When he hugged Enxi, It means that you choose to forget or forgive, or even instinctively protect the child, nothing else. Later, there are also plot descriptions of interacting with Eun-hee, indicating that he has deep feelings for Eun-hee.
When he killed Patrolman Min Tae-joo, Eun-hee was terrified at first and asked if he had killed his mother, then kept screaming in fear. Until Kim Byung-soo told her that you are not my daughter. Only when Eun Hee regained his calm, and later in the mental hospital, when he saw Eun Hee visiting him and giving him a haircut, he thought again of what he had done. In the end, it may be redemption or liberation. He believes that after saving Eun-hee, there is no need to stay, so he ends himself.
Very detailed, when he picked up the needle and stabbed himself, his finger pressed the needle, and then there was an expression similar to shaking his eyes. I think that's a sign of death. Then the scene turned, he was walking in the tunnel scene.
As for what he murmured at the end, and the picture of Min Tae Joo he took out, I think he still had a confused memory on the way to hell, but the only thing sober was to remember to kill this man, and the purpose of killing him was to protect himself daughter Eun-hee. Throughout
The childhood injuries and his wife's betrayal hit him again and again, but in the end he remembered to protect his daughter even in death. This is the most reasonable ending in my opinion.
By the way, there is also the sentence he said after saving Eun Hee: It doesn't matter, you are not the daughter of a murderer... After all, in Korea, becoming the child of a murderer will end badly!
So at this time he still protects Eun-hee in his own way.
Um. that's it
