Throughout the film, the hero and heroine did not have a single dialogue, and the heroine only said two sentences, one was "I love you", and the other was "eat."
But the sound effects in the film are well done. Soft music, unlocking, pushing doors, rubbing clothes, putting bath water, showering, motorcycle engine, broken glass, etc. . . Even smiles can be clearly heard.
The male protagonist's handsome appearance shimmers with innocence, and at the same time, he is extremely lonely. A person, a motorcycle, a golf bar, a golf ball, shuttle in the city, go to different empty houses to bathe, eat, sleep, help the owner of the house repair electrical furniture, help them wash clothes, and then the next day Leave to find the next empty house. . . So wandering and self-satisfied.
Meeting the heroine was an accident. She was trapped in the castle like a down-and-out princess, she wanted to go out, but he came in. What she has is a failed marriage, a grumpy husband, unable to communicate with each other. It was already doomed that she would never be able to get a trace of warmth from this tragic marriage. But the appearance of the male protagonist is silent, kind, pure and full of love. . All the good things are brought to her by him.
Such encounters make them wander together—from one empty house to another, each one as warm and harmonious as their own home. Seeing different house designs, different DVD players, different murals and photos, different telephone messages, different furniture decorations, and the personality, occupation and family members of the owner of the house can be seen at a glance. Sexually suggestive approach, so that they don't have dialogue and don't make people feel boring.
Everything is so peaceful, but a shock slowly accumulates from the bottom of the audience's heart.
However, he went to jail on charges of trespassing, murder, kidnapping, theft, and so on. And she asked her husband to take her back to that horrible cage. At one point, I thought that the story had been heartbreaking at this point, and I almost lost the desire to continue reading.
The male protagonist had a strange stealth training in prison. When I first watched this episode, I almost regarded him as a lunatic, because his eyes were evil and his smile was a little scary (smiling like Lin Feng). He successfully chose to exist in another 180-degree world behind people. It was a world that was out of sight and could only rely on feeling. In that world, he became more and more peaceful. Only she can see him. Then he came out of the prison (from the plot point of view, he was taken out of the cage by several prison guards, and he did not explain where he took it, and then he took revenge on the hateful policeman, so I don't know if he was released or escaped by himself. Come out, escape is more likely. This is up for discussion).
He returned to the houses he had been to and picked up the memories of the past. . .
In the end he returned to the house he knew her, she said I love you, but her husband mistook it for him and hugged her happily. At the same time, he took her outstretched hand and kissed her. . .
In the end, he and she still hugged tightly, standing on the scale with zero scale. This seems to symbolize their silent harmony and the true union of their souls.
I can't say why, but I felt very comfortable and warm after watching this film. Some people say that this ending is not the end, and they are very worried about what they will do in the future. I said that the husband was no longer a hindrance to them, besides, he could take her away, really leave. Really, I think the story is full and full. It is rare to see such a Korean movie. Not sad.
As someone commented: "Perhaps it expresses something that people yearn for, which is silent but lasting warmth, although wandering but the peace of the heart, the heart that is hidden but still exposed, although indulging in dreams But I don’t want to wake up and sober.”
I saw that some websites classified the film as an ethics film, but I personally feel that the focus of the story it tells is not ethics, it is mainly based on a love story, but many plots It also reflects many social problems. Communication barriers. marital problems. domestic violence. The boundary between reality and dream. Too much too much. I admire the consistent beauty of Korean movies, and the shooting is done very carefully. And the whole story pays attention to the echo before and after, and the structure is rigorous. It seems that some of the film critics have written. (But so far I haven't found too many relevant comments)
