Yan's distortions and perversions originated from the succumbing to power when he was a child. As an adult, he rebelled against his father and insisted on the moral philosophy based on ethics. Because of the way the father protects his beloved son, his protection method humbles his father and protects his beloved son in a compromised way. But failing to protect the beloved son, or bravely redress the injustice, made his father lose his majesty. So the son did not follow in his father's footsteps.
In the prison, the father and the son confronted each other. Yan, wearing a yellow kimono, was about to be hanged, while his father in a suit would live until tomorrow. In post-war Japan, the suit represents democracy, while the yellow kimono is the emperor system. This young, healthy, and sexually strong emperor will eventually lose its power. It was the police, and the power of suits and leather shoes, who pronounced the death of the imperial power. Religion and ethics are so blank before desire, because God does not allow them to give up halfway, and the father does not allow his son and his wife to divorce. The old man confessed that he suppressed his animal desires for a long time, hoping that his wife would die. After the wife's death, she was willing to give up her faith in order to have a relationship with her daughter-in-law.
In this dialogue between father and son, the father said to Yan, "You only kill people you don't hate." why? The reason why Yan became Yan is because people who hate made him. These people are rules, systems, or powers that create strictness. It is not so much that strictness does not kill people who hate, as it is that these people cannot be killed at all. If you can't kill, you become these people.
The argument that women are victims is simply a one-sided perception of women. Not only the victims, they enjoy humiliation, and they are the fanciful boosters of power. For example, Chun knew that Yan was a murderer, but Chun did not expel Yan. At first, she was unable to face the social rules and wanted to choose to die with Yan. Later, he became obsessed with sex and blurred the boundary between life (want to be pregnant with Yan's child) and death (let Yan die alone). What Chun's mother said the most was that her husband abused Chun because her husband liked Chun, and her mother sacrificed her daughter to gain stability and satisfy her own selfish desires, fulfilling power.
The ashes of the ending are related to the media form of the film. The image is fixed into a photo, and a time-limited dynamic picture is fixed into an eternal and unchanging photo, just like the director wants to fix a strict dynamic image into a flat person’s desire And morality
