Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring

The first time I saw this play was at the Hong Kong International Film Festival in 2004. Poetry and painting landscape, concise narrative, heavy body, profound reflection. The edition I watched did not have "another spring", and the story ended with an adult monk carrying Guanyin up the mountain to atone for his sins and teaching young monks. It is thought-provoking and shows the possibility of change.

Later, due to fate, I found another set of DVDs in the mainland, which is an edition with "Another Spring". The ending is that the young monk commits the same crime that the adult monk once committed. It seems that the director thinks that people cannot escape their destiny, and some mistakes are unavoidable.

Personally, I prefer the edition without "Another Spring", but this cut with "Another Spring" should be more like Kim Ki-duk.

    When talking about Zen and Buddhism, Lao Hu and Lao Jin are quite different in reality. At this point, I decided to call Kim Ji-deok Lao Jin. Lao Jin's movie, because of the strong visual sense, just watch it, needless to say. Write a slogan for Lao Jin: Look, use your left eye and use your right eye too! (2005.08)

    Four and a half as human beings, we can easily play with little creatures who are weaker than ourselves between applause, but what makes us bear the stone of destiny? At the beginning of man, nature is evil by nature. In the face of human nature, the Buddha is just a superior bystander.
