Unnecessary tragedy

Alphonso 2022-01-22 08:05:43

In my impression, it seems that there is still no cross-species romance film where the hero and the heroine can be together. The Little Mermaid can only silently become a bubble, Edward Scissorhands can only guard the lonely castle, and King Kong can only do it for love. Die...

So, in Korea, which pays more attention to etiquette and etiquette, and has a serious tragedy, this movie will definitely not be too romantic. In fact, I still have a glimmer of hope that it will not be so miserable, but the opening two minutes-the old lady returned to the old house and began to recall, I knew that it must be another tear-jerking ending, hey. So, for girls with low tears, please prepare paper towels in advance. Although Cheol-Su has only a few lines in it, you absolutely cry when he opens his mouth.

However, if interracial love is destined not to be allowed and the film is destined to end in tragedy, then I would rather Chel-Su and Sun-yi die together when they love each other the most, or one of them dies with love, miss and ta. The expectation to live actively, this is at least love. Even if they fail to break free from the shackles of reality, at least the hearts of two people are always connected.
But this bloody ending-47 years later, Zhexiu, who is still pale and beautiful, told the tearful old Shunyi that you have not changed, when it was still so beautiful, but Shunyi chose to leave in tears just like 47 years ago.

This made me feel very depressed, and even began to wonder if this is a romance film at all. It feels more like a bleak story of a girl picking up a loyal dog, and the loyal dog is still silently waiting for the girl's return after being abandoned by the girl. The love I understand is brave and desperate. Even if the reality is full of pressure, even if you want to be the enemy of the world, you must protect the other party to the death and guard this relationship. Although "Wolf Clan Boy" takes a delicate and tender route and is not suitable for intense emotional expression, Shunyi can really be a bit more determined, and Zhexiu can be a bit more emotional.

Shunyi, I believe she likes Chel-soo, otherwise she won’t play the piano for him, she won’t move the bed to the door close to him, and she won’t say after he transforms, "I can’t tell which one is. The real you, but it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." But she was too cowardly. In fact, when she wrote the note "Wait, I will be back", I believe she was still firm, but after leaving, after calming down, she did not dare to face this relationship again, did not dare to imagine Or that I dare not bear the hardships after two people are really together. So, she broke her promise. She escaped. If it weren't for returning to China in 47 years to deal with housing matters, I think she would just stay silent like this.
Some people might say that reality has given her tremendous pressure, and there are insurmountable obstacles between them. But I always feel that her biggest source of stress is not the fangs and claws of the villagers, not the knives and guns in her chest, but her own heart-that deep-rooted fear of the unknown future that cannot be overcome. Just like she said to her granddaughter, “Why are you stupid and left with someone else? Look for your boyfriend's eyes to have bright spots, or you will regret it later (the passage I watched has no subtitles, probably that's what I mean)... "From the bottom of her heart, she believes that the relationship 47 years ago is impossible and will be doomed to pain. So she hasn't made any effort for this relationship for 47 years-if she is not confident, how can she be courageous? She is cowardly, but this uncontrollable cowardly may be precisely because of not enough love.

However, Zhexiu, what he did to Sun Yi, I always think that every loyal dog will do that to his owner, especially he likes to be touched (actually so cute, haha) and he is particularly obedient-even if you look at it. When she appeared again after she had waited for 47 years, she didn't dare to step forward without her instructions. Until he said: "You haven't changed, your eyes, nose, and mouth are still so beautiful", I finally felt the deep love in his heart. His eyes were still calm and clear, and he couldn't see the slightest complaint against her, as if he had just waited 47 hours, or 47 minutes. It is this kind of quiet and innocence that can better reflect the deep and true feelings, as if waiting for her to love her is already the norm in life, it does not matter whether she comes or not, anyway, she has always been in his heart. Looks like.

Therefore, the essence of this sad ending is not enough love and not enough to express love? This is more depressing than enough to love each other but not being able to be together with all my efforts, it is at least brave love, what is this, this is in the face of reality, depressed, naked desolation.

I had hoped that the ending of the story was like this: that morning, when the villagers chased into the forest, when Shun Yi said cruel words to make Zhe Xiu escape, when Zhe Xiu said, "Don't go" for the first time, Shun Yi did not turn around and leave, but took Chel-soo's hand and said, "Okay, let's go together"... Then no one knew their whereabouts anymore, only the younger sister Chunzi who came back to deal with house matters found that they had lived together for 47 years. Mark of.
