I actually prefer another translation of this movie-"Higher Animals". I think about it after watching the movie. The name itself makes people laugh, and it matches the black and humorous comedy style of this movie. Having said that, "Kidnapping a Dog at the Door" is not just a pure comedy movie. With the help of a comedy shell, this film tells a story that makes people laugh and feel. Compared with Bong Joon-ho's other film, "Memories of Murder", this film is much easier in terms of subject matter and performance. If the thinking that "Memories of Murder" brings to the viewer is a dull pain, then "The Kidnapping of the Doorway Dog" is more like the type of Mianli hiding a knife. After laughing, I discovered that there are actually many things hidden behind the laughter. For genre movies that focus on real life, it is not easy to make good films. The key to the success of "Kidnapping the Doorway Dog" is that it accurately captures those familiar but easily overlooked details in daily life, while processing them appropriately. He is like a social melodrama, where people and dogs are the protagonists on the stage. In the end, although "dog" is the most important clue to the development of the plot of the series, it is still a story about people after all. "The Kidnapping of a Dog at the Door" is a good reproduction of the life of modern urbanites. It focuses on the performance of the middle and lower-level groups that best represent the majority of the urban population: depressed university lecturers and company employees, living in a difficult life. Community workers, shop owners, widowed old women, bachelor old security guards, and wandering homeless people are all ordinary people struggling with their own real troubles. And in this disorderly society, as if you can’t see anger and vitality, some people don’t even have a dog to live comfortably: work is not going well, family is at odds, no one cares, everything is restricted...Dogs play in this It is like a ridiculous weight and measure. Only a person who lives better than a dog is called a real "person", and even a dog is inferior, and it seems that even his personality has been lost. People, especially those under dogs, are eager to have a life that fits their "senior animal" status. Yuan Jun wants to be promoted, Bai Jun wants to be on TV, old security guards and homeless people want to eat dog meat... But ironically, these In the epitome of society, the "community", wishes that are not excessive have to be realized by excessive means and methods. What kind of mockery is the dog being caught in a group of high-level animals that are inferior to its own, swaying their low-level life? For these people, a dog may mean everything—an annoying weight added to a miserable life, the only consolation for a lonely soul, an excellent assistant who is well-known, a great meal to improve food... Deformed people give it The meaning of a dog's deformity, but all of this seems like a mess, and there is no source of it. The ending of the film is still ironic. A dog saved the lives of two people: Yuan Jun was able to redeem his wife’s heart, used his wife’s pension to bribe the dean, and was successfully awarded the title; Bai Yun became a heroine once and appeared on TV (although The footage was cut off at the end), and I lost my job but was able to realize my dream of hiking... The ending seems to be satisfactory, but people are not self-saving, but relying on the "sacrifice" of the dog to gain the world. Taiping...Such absurd stories are played out in modern people’s lives every day in one way or another. Money "saves" love and power "saves" the future... There is no shortage of "dogs" of this kind in our lives, except for nothing. Apart from barking, it is no different from a real dog. The high-level animals are stuck in the low-level life, and the sadness and helplessness in them are just like the harsh dog barking at the beginning of the film, annoying but endless day and night. Perhaps each of us has to reflect on the fact that those who are hidden by us and don't want people to discover, are they stolen dogs or ourselves curled up in a ball?
