43 Four and a half stars. On the basis of the sophisticated and dense genre drama, a heterogeneous and poetic ideographic space can be extended, which is really unexpected. Teacher Kim Hye-ja's unrealistic, absurd performance and Bong Joon-ho's cruel banter (lipstick on golf clubs, paying for broken umbrellas, "perverted mobile phones", and Yazhong's cell phone) is an important source of this space. The mother knows and shields the son's "sin", and the protected son is the witness of the mother's sin (the five-year-old wanted to poison him and burn the old man's house), and is the mother's only meaning in life and can never be erased that pimple. The mother's trip at the end is to avoid her son. The returned son becomes the embodiment of the mother's sin, and is also the judge of the mother's sin, like a condescending priest in a confessional room. Only this group of relationships is bloody, dirty, and violent. The tension breaks through the so-called "type". In the course of the investigation, the mother brought out the description of the deceased Yazhong, as well as the sketch of Xi Haner who escaped from the sanatorium, and sketched that this is the Asura field where the bottom world is cruel and mutually harmful.
"Blood" runs through the film, the blood of the mother's finger, the nosebleed of Yazhong, the blood of the old scavenger, the blood volume gradually increased, this blood-stained bottom world has only a brief effect on the sterile world on the golf course at the beginning of the film. It can only damage a rearview mirror.
