A director who has won numerous awards abroad is like an outsider in the Korean film industry, and the audience also thinks he is a strange old man, accusing him of being too sharp and explicit but unable to read and understand. What is the reason? Is it because of the lack of lines in his films, the freehand scenes, explicit erotic scenes, outrageous violent aesthetics, and unacceptable incestuous relationships? Yes, no, I always feel that this is an appearance. The core is because the ideological content conveyed in his films is not acceptable to mainstream oriental culture, and he only cares about his own literature and art, regardless of the commercial nature of the public, and all kinds of arbitrary ideas. , it doesn't matter whether you can understand it or not. To be honest, I'm the type of person who doesn't appreciate his movies, but I'm still full of respect, a weird old man who wants to create his own style in his own way.
So I still watched 그물 with this expectation. The first scene of the movie took me in, and then I started to think about it while watching. There were a lot of things that touched me, but I didn’t feel the pain of punching me. , Kim Ki-deok gave up his extreme violence and tragic, gave up his imagination, and told a story seriously and quietly, a story that was like him but not like him. So there are a few places where I feel blunt and deliberate, maybe because he is not used to this kind of narrative. A series of contrasts at the end of the game made me smell it, and then when the end really came, it was a little abrupt and awkward. It stopped unexpectedly, so when the ending subtitles came out, there was a sense of emptiness, but it was not enjoyable. I glanced at the uncle who was sleeping soundly beside him and rubbed his sleepy eyes. I picked up my clothes and left the seat first.
It's not that the movie is bad, it's worth watching, but it doesn't always feel like the Kim Ki-duk I remembered. But it's all my guesses, all my subjective feelings, and I hope they're all wrong. There are many things about humanity in the movie, but the two sentences that touch me the most are "슬프면꼭눈물이나야합니까? (Do you have to cry when you are sad?)" "자유는행복을보장할수없습니다. (Freedom does not guarantee happiness) "
I hope more films will be arranged so that more people will watch it!
