The bowed qin (let’s call it that) at the beginning sounds beautiful, and it fits perfectly with the clean picture. But in an hour, the strings became like pulling on my nerves. Of course, there is no problem with the bow, it's a problem with my nerves.
Kim Ki-duk said he was obsessed with pushing human nature to its extremes. Human nature to the extreme is, of course, perverted. The perverted old man in "The Bow" adopts a girl in order to raise her and marry her as an adult. The old man was very principled. Before the girl became an adult, their relationship seemed to be a father and daughter (although she helped her bathe, but not indecent); later, the girl fell in love with the young man who came on the boat to fish (the two lived on the boat, and they got on the boat by picking them up). Fishing for a living, the girl has never left for 10 years), and he just tore up the calendar in a fit of rage to advance the "marriage day". I don't really hate the old man, I think he's still a good guy, especially the slap in the face by the "fiancee", which was quite interesting. The girl fell in love with the young man, and the young man wanted to save her and take her away, and the desperate old man tied one end of the rope to the boat they were leaving, and the other end of his own neck to commit suicide (this idea is very good, and a bit touching), but At the last moment, the old man's determination was shaken, he cut the rope and gave birth, and made a pitiful gesture in front of the girl who came back, deceived her into sympathy, and forced her to marry. The wedding after that was quite interesting, with a blue sky, a dilapidated boat, and a pair of newlyweds with a special relationship held a Korean traditional wedding devoutly. The groom takes off the bride's clothes like opening a gift, and the kimono seems to be the same, which is full of fun. After the wedding, there is a series of symbols, which makes me confused. The bride lay down like being hypnotized (I guessed it was due to the sound of the harp or the poisonous dates she ate earlier), the groom shot the bow and arrow into the sky and jumped into the water himself. A few minutes later, the girl moaned lewdly and posed as if she was having sex with the old man. The bow and arrow suddenly fell and slammed into the deck between her legs. The girl reached an orgasm and blood stained her skirt. . What is this? I don't know, the bow and arrow should be the symbol of the phallus, so what do these pictures express? Virgin plot? Possessive? I don't understand and I don't like it.
After watching two of these Korean films, the characteristics are: 1. The protagonist does not speak, not a word 2. The rhythm is slow, very slow and very slow 3. It symbolizes the mystery, and the mystery is mysterious.
These characteristics are basically not to the appetite of a layman like me.
