false pain

Does the name think of Bei Dao's one-word poem "Life"? I always prefer Kim Ki-duk because his films always have a sense of pain, no matter the early "Drifting Room" (2000) "Bad Boy" (2001) "Spring Comes and Comes Again" (2003) "Empty Room" (2004) "Samaria Girl" (2004), "Bow" (2005), etc., or "Mobius" (2013) and "Saint" (2012) after a three-year hiatus. But this time, it didn't do well. From the theme to the way of expression, it was all third-rate. For example, the ending was too deliberately false. Hand-held rough shots are a consistent style. It is found that "seeing and being seen" is a recurring proposition in Kim Ki-duk's films. A few shots of boating in the water always come to mind with "The Drift Room" and "The Bow." Yoo Seung-bum, who played with Choi Min-sik in his brother's film "The Crying Fist" (2005), and the Korean version of "The Suspect" (2012), didn't like his performance.

    Can the fisherman, who has seen through everything, fish quietly?

    It's more formulaic to please, and some details are sharp but still can't get rid of the taste of trickery. The movie is not ugly, but it is more disappointing than falling into the bottomless abyss with the icon of Jin Ji De.
