I have become accustomed to such heavy-tasting movies, but I don’t appreciate Cui Min-sik’s performance. Perhaps the role setting makes him have to externalize his emotions in this way, but no, as he said, "Wu Daxiu is not a good person, and he is not today. Excellent." He is just a man who has been imprisoned for fifteen years inexplicably, without a superb IQ and nothing extraordinary. When such an ordinary person has been inexplicably detained for fifteen years and his wife and son are separated, he can only revenge nervously if he is not nervous. And I like Liu Zhitai more, so forbearing, all the sorrow and resentment are like budding flowers, just waiting for the "boom" to explode, bloom perfectly, and then end in splendor. He spent fifteen years of revenge, long and meticulous, just for the sentence: My sister and I know we can’t love but love, can you do it? Naturally, in real life, such a person is either in prison or in a psychiatric hospital, but when he directs an indecent love with an unusually compassionate and persistent attitude, that attitude is really fascinating and distressing. . When the film is over, I think back to his tears when he heard that Mei Dao fell in love with Wu Daxiu, and finally understood, but it was even more sad.
This film also has a name called "The Original Criminal", after watching it, I felt it was really appropriate. Revenge for the love of original sin, the original sin was directed for revenge, and the victim avenged the love of original sin (though without knowing it). Everyone succeeded, and everybody collapsed. Speaking of original sin, we have to mention Oedipus again. In fact, the first time I saw Oedipus’s story, I was very confused. Where did his pain come from? At that time, I was still young, and I didn't understand that there were things that I couldn't let go of in my life. I always felt that everyone was the kind of person who would go on silently even if he suffered a sap. Now that I am old, I discovered that there are always things that are so big that you can never ignore them. I don’t know what the Oedipus complex should be. It seems that everyone is willing to talk about ethics and morality. I am definitely a normal child born under the red flag and growing up in the sun. I don’t want to be different, but I am really confused. Such things, such as Isabella, such as Oedipus, such as Li Youzhen and his sister, such as Wu Daxiu and his daughter Mei Dao, what is more important? The reason why Li Youzhen’s sister died was because Wu Daxiu (only a high school student at the time) saw her making out with her brother in a corner of the school, and then spread it out, and she chose to commit suicide because she was afraid of becoming pregnant. Her life stopped at rumors. More precisely Said it stops at morality. I have said that I am not anti-moral, nor do I have strange thoughts about anyone in my family, but as a recurring sentence in the movie said: Even if I am a beast, I have the right to live. Even if she had committed a heinous crime, she would not die. Those rumors didn't know that Boren died because of them, and he already had human life in his hands (it was on his lips). On the contrary, he thought he was on the righteous side and became more proud.
If we are so-called normal people, lead a normal life, like the right people, and no one can speak the truth, then can we ignore this "normal" and not use it as a standard of measurement. Because in this world, there will always be people who violate the so-called rules, fall in love with the same sex or fall in love with people they shouldn't like. We can not accept it, but perhaps we can ignore it, because that is not the standard for measuring people, and because there is no way if we really love them. Our greatest kindness is to control our own mouths.
Finally, let’s talk about the mouth problem. I’m a relatively unobstructed person, and I’m scared after seeing this. Although I’m surrounded by normal people, but occasionally something abnormal appears. Just for one sentence, I’ve been shut down for fifteen years. That's too scary. Although it's a bit scary, it's really just like what Lao Hu said, "sorrows, evils," all evils come out of the mouth.
