But among the works I've seen (including The Empty Room, Drifting in the Sex Room, and Spring to Winter), Samaritan Girl is the most profound one. The story is rather strange. Two middle school girls are living in a boring city. One is a prostitute and the other helps to get a plane ticket to Paris. The prostitute was found to have jumped off the building and died, but the one who assisted felt sorry for his friends, and retrieved the clients one by one according to the records. After selling himself, he returned the money. And when her father, who loved her so much, found out, he followed each client, tortured and beat them, and killed the last one.
Although I prefer simple and normal stories, this more exaggerated plot achieves the intended effect. Those whore clients are all good-looking men, but each of them makes such a dirty deal. When that father used his own methods to punish these people, it made people feel how filthy the crime was under the glamorous city. Perhaps, family and career, for these people, are boring and numb.
The ideal of young girls is also very strange. I think that this ideal can only show that life is too unattractive to them, and they can only stimulate themselves to get rid of boredom in such a numb way.
Maybe the story is too exaggerated, but not necessarily false. Because of the people around you, who is not contaminated with stench because of boredom and numbness? From this perspective, the story itself tends to be objective.
My favorite is that ending. Knowing that he was about to be arrested, the father took his daughter to visit his deceased wife. On the way home, he taught his daughter to drive. The daughter fell asleep because of tiredness, and when she woke up, she found that her father had been taken away in a police car. And she, with unfamiliar driving skills, drove the car crookedly, keeping up with the muddy road, that muddy road, leading to the distance...
