A cold dead place

This film is uncomfortable to watch. The beatings and killing scenes are throughout, not only bloody, but the violent scenes with great visual impact made me almost suffocated in the scarf and couldn't bear to see it.

The one-eyed girl, the weak young painter, the mixed-race child who was discriminated against everywhere, his mother and his mother's old lover, and even the American soldier, everyone lived a twisted, painful and brutal life. Is love hope? no. What about America? Not even. What remains is despair and endless torture.

I don't know the background of the South Korean War, but I think that all these anomalies against human nature can only be the result of the war. What is more terrifying than the heart-piercing pain is the annihilation of human nature and the brutality it brings. Humans are no longer human, and there is no life and hope to speak of. I have always believed in human nature and the power of strong will, but the people in the film are not like that! They insulted each other, abused each other, tortured each other, and finally collapsed. I don't have the right to hate them, because I haven't experienced what they have to bear, but I feel so sad in my heart. In the face of stupid wars, people's strength is really so small, and they can't afford anything?

All in all, I regret watching this movie. It's not that the darkness is unacceptable, but that the darkness is incomprehensible. When the gentleman next to him appears on the screen with a knife or a wire wrapped around his neck, he can't stop saying "Oh Putain", like a violent prelude. I don't know if this scolding mother is an expression of cruelty or horror like me. And I could only curl up, wrap my head in a warm and safe scarf, and flee home after the scene.
