As a work by a female director, 'red road' gives me the biggest impression of looking at life from a woman's perspective. What does it mean to a single mother to lose her husband and beloved daughter in a car accident? As said in the film: "This kind of accident happens every day..." We can often learn about similar things happening around the world every day from various channels, but who can really understand what this tragedy is to the parties involved? What kind of blow?
The director used her understanding to tell us a more extreme way of revenge. In fact, in comparison, the plot of the story itself is not important. What matters is the heroine's mentality. The film uses a lot of close-ups, a unique female The sense of loneliness permeates as the film unfolds, and the pain of losing a loved one gradually emerges on a woman's face as the years go by. As for the last passionate scene, I think it's hard to tell exactly what the heroine's purpose is. It gives me a very vague feeling. This is probably the director's unique temperament.
What also makes me feel the director's unique temperament as a woman is at the end of the film, ending with a very warm ending. If I made it, it would be a tragedy. Life is so cruel, even in the film, it should be like this, hehe.
