When watching "Unknown Recipient", I naturally think of the Japanese movie "Human Testimony", in which, similarly, a Japanese woman lives with an American soldier and gives birth to a half-breed child, and the half-breed child takes the right The mother's expectation came to Japan to find her biological mother. That movie, in a case, showed a tragic regret at the price of life that a warm expectation brought. This "Unknown Recipient" is different. Under seemingly similar incidents, Shang Wu, a mixed-race child born to a South Korean mother and an American garrison soldier, has an outrageous hatred for his mother. In this village and town where the US military is stationed, Shangwu is regarded as an alien, a bastard, and can be ridiculed at will, and under the discrimination, his character becomes more and more tyrannical. However, her mother was not the type who devoted herself to raising her son and inspiring him to heal her wounds. All she wanted was to write letters to the American soldiers who had left South Korea, hoping to be brought to the United States. As a result, contradictions arose, and Shang Wu harbored resentment, because he was an innocent person who had to sacrifice his dignity and even his life for the emotional entanglement of the previous generation. On the mother, and the mother's behavior of constantly writing letters to the man who brought him "pain" is more than enough to become a dignified and profligate behavior in his eyes. The humiliation and inner distortion of Shang Wu's life so far are naturally displayed by this violent storm-like violence, and you can experience a sinful feeling from it. In the eyes of Kim Ki-duk, he can experience the scars left by this history.
In addition to showing the unfortunate martial arts, Kim Ki-duk also changed his angle at the right time. Is his mother really so unbearable and despicable? In order to show the helplessness of a woman in such an environment, Jin Ji-de cleverly did not ask Shang Wu's mother to recall anything, but based on the time and space where the plot is located, and reproduced naturally through the experience of a girl Enlo, which also revealed more Tragic reincarnation. Because of an accident, Enluo's eye was blinded by his brother's self-made pistol. If Shangwu's tragic fate was born with fate, then Enluo's life was an accidental misfortune, and the same result was ridiculed. , are psychological defenses. At the same time, Changhua, a weak young man, fell in love with the girl silently. Gradually, the two fell in love with each other through some misunderstandings and conflicts, but they didn't want to be attacked by hooligans, and Enluo was brutally abused. At this time, an American soldier appeared. He could shelter the girl, and he could also treat her disabled eyes. The girl could only choose to be submissive to this powerful and seemingly gentle man. Here, it seems that a metaphor can be seen, Enluo is the incarnation of Korea, Changhua is the Koreans who want to protect the country independently, but they are powerless to protect her from harm, and Enluo's disabled eyes are like after the war South Korea's wounds, they are also unable to heal, they can only let the United States heal her wounds, and she can only fall into the arms of the United States. However, the American soldier is not an angel. He treated Enlo's eyes, and he also needs her to sacrifice her body. She needs her to be at his mercy. Of course, he can also slap his hands when he is not satisfied. This is the current situation of South Korea in the eyes of Kim Ki-duk at that time. It may be a bit radical, but it shows a side of reality in a tragic way. The people of the small town are unable to support their own country, and the American soldier has become a powerful force from outside. Stand strong on this land. Shangwu is the descendant of this asymmetric relationship, a victim, a symbol of sadness. Her mother seems crazy, but it complements the experience of Enluo in reality. Enluo gradually embarks on her old path, and everything seems to be endless. life repeats.
The climax of the film is more violent and tragic. What we see is an attitude of breaking with identity and history. Therefore, we saw Shang Wu rudely mark the humiliation of his mother's chest, and at the same time he marked a victory V with his life. For him, perhaps only such a tragic farewell can end the pain of life. Enluo finally chose to fight, not to let the soldiers leave the mark of a conqueror on her body, and not to let Shang Wu's mother's life repeat itself on her body. And Changhua's choice is more tragic. The pain and revenge he once had is a reflection of the struggles within a nation. In this film, it is difficult to capture the warmth, to see the tough inspiration of the little people, and even less self-mockery like black humor. It is naked, bloody, and the resistance seems hopeless, but it is an inevitable relief. But in the end, the final reply from someone who didn't know is confusing. I think what Kim Ki-duk wants to say is definitely not to persevere, but to show the hopelessness of this kind of hope. Because of hopelessness, the people in the film have chosen a thorough The split attitude and the tragic ending also show the pain of a nation.
