——Korean proverb (made up)
It is most suitable for a Korean director to make a movie about plastic surgery. However, Kim Ki-duk couldn’t help but make a movie “Time” which is different from the previous style. I have to remind him that the name is wrong. Now, the name of this movie should be "Plastic Surgery", the horror scenes in it can be used to deter people who want to have plastic surgery, and the comparison of two faces of a beautiful woman before and after plastic surgery can be used as a Korean plastic surgery. Public service announcements are broadcast around the world.
Probably this will be Kim Ki-duk's last film to direct in Korea, and he says he's leaving.
After reading it, I let out a sigh of relief. It is different from the previous style. There are many people here, and there are many words. The story is very simple and the reasoning is not complicated. I worked hard to write out what the characters didn't say.
In the past, Kim Ki-deok's films were always both economical and profound, as if they were filming with the attitude of suffocating people to death, but this film has changed its tune and has many people talking secretly. Does he have to follow the custom? I have no idea.
I still like this movie very much. Its plot is very simple. A beautiful girl loves her handsome boyfriend very much, but she is always worried that he will get bored of him for a long time. No matter how the handsome guy confesses, she cannot be relieved Later, her suspicion turned into jealousy. As long as the handsome guy stared at a female object for more than two seconds, she would be furious and then heartbroken, alas. . . . . What a pity, most women who fall in love are like this.
On a warm and romantic night, after finishing the business, the beauty asked him to answer the question that a man is afraid to answer: Do you love me? Do you really love me? Finally, the handsome guy's tolerance for being suspicious of beautiful women reached the limit, so he erupted like a volcano. . . . .
The beauty ran out of the house in the middle of the night and disappeared. After a few days, the handsome guy frantically looked for her, apologized in the phone message, waited in her work unit, and asked her girlfriend. Missing beautiful women, drinking wine and getting drunk, he was half-human and half-ghost in less than a month, and he didn't need plastic surgery. He was so haggard that he couldn't even recognize his mother, alas. . . . . What a pity, most men who fall in love are like this.
Six months have passed, and the number six months has repeatedly appeared in movies, because it represents the time cost to change a face. Six months have passed, and the handsome guy has not been idle for a day in these six months. Seduced his former college classmates, who knew that this beauty was also a strong girl and did not want to be a stand-in to fill in the blanks. Later, he participated in a speed dating party. He was attracted to him but not others. In fact, the handsome guy knew very well that he could not forget it. Ex-girlfriend, one day, the handsome guy met another beautiful woman in the park where he and his ex-girlfriend often go. The beautiful woman took the initiative to seduce him to date and have sex with him. When he said something that he always remembered about his ex-girlfriend, the beautiful woman did not Know whether to be happy or sad. Ugh. . . . . It's stupid. Most simple-minded beauties are like this.
The handsome guy finally figured it out. It turned out that this beauty was the beauty after plastic surgery. He was suffering. The story that happened below was enough to express Kim Ki-duk's morbid fascination with the phenomenon of "symmetry". The story behind was beyond my expectations. It's because Kim Ki-duk is always beyond my expectations that I'm addicted to watching his movies---the handsome guy also disappeared, and it lasted for 6 months. Unfortunately, after he changed his face, he was involved in the car as soon as he appeared. Bottom, hit a bloody mess. Ugh. . . . It's really stupid, most handsome guys who are angry with women are like this.
The story ended like this. It didn't seem to have any special meaning, but it really didn't. At the end, there was a crowd of people on the street. I couldn't tell which one was the beautiful beauty and which one was born beautiful.
If people change their normal habits, they are not dying of illness. Once a director changes his style, he is destined to produce a bad movie. Kim Ki-duk has more than three actors and more than 10 lines of dialogue, and he is no longer Kim Ki-duk.
However, there are also bad films from directors with strong skills, such as "Hero" and "Levelless", which are so bad that they are completely unwatchable.
After watching "Time", at least the following gains:
1. In the future, no matter if you are looking for a Korean boyfriend or girlfriend, after you find it, it is best to "seal him" like Fairy Zixia, and it is best to put it on his feet, so that one day he does not go to plastic surgery on a whim, and you will do the whole thing. To recognize TA by the way of making love.
2. This movie can actually be seen as a fashion show, especially women's clothing. In this sense, I still hope that more women "Ha Han" because Asians are really beautiful in Korean clothing. The actresses Kim Ki-deok was looking for were all beautiful and fragile, with a pale and melancholy temperament. The beauty after the face change was more beautiful than the previous one, with thin and slender calves, wearing long stockings and short skirts, and perming and dyeing golden curly hair, she was really beautiful. The thing, when I watched "Samaria Girls" before, I was amazed by the fashion and color matching of the two girls, and this one is even more so. However, men's clothing is average. The few men who come and go in the coffee shop are simply showing clothes, double-button suits, single-breasted suits, small-collar suits, large-collar suits, collarless jackets, and pointed-collar jackets. , metal button jackets, denim jackets. Men are so helpless, clothes are only divided into these two types, and SHOW can't show any tricks, which is really desperate.
3. There is a theme park on the coast of South Korea. The series of sex sculptures in it are very, very avant-garde and "postmodern". From the perspective of the scene, it is estimated that there is such a place in South Korea, and the rise and fall of the sea is different at different times. If you have the opportunity to travel, be sure to check it out, not only the scenery is beautiful, but you can also meet many, many artificial beauties ^_^.
4. Kim Ki-duk is indeed a director who has been influenced by European culture and Korean culture. The South Korea under his lens is clean, neat, beautiful and orderly. In this drama, he does not express too much traditional Korean culture as before, but shoots South Korea. It is as fashionable and modern as a European city, and it is sunny every day. For example, the cafe with red brick and copper doors is elegant and chic, and that kind of atmosphere is only the travel bookstore opened by Hugh Grant in "Notting Hill". Poorly comparable. After plastic surgery, the beauty walked out of the beauty salon with her old photo and was bumped by another beauty who hurriedly passed by. The frame fell and shattered. It was also taken from the classic bump in "Notting Hill".
5. Many scenes of Kim Ki-duk are still very beautiful, really beautiful, indescribably beautiful. Although this is a not very decent movie of Kim Ki-duk, there are still many scenes that convey the artistic conception that domestic directors have not been able to achieve. For example, Handsome Guy Lou There is a tree that is so old that its bark is cracked. When they can't find each other, handsome guys and girls have kicked the trunk of the tree desperately to vent. The old tree is witnessing the theme of "time". It's a bit like "a tree is like this, how can a person be worthy". I have only seen this combination once in Tian Zhuangzhuang's version of "Spring in a Small Town". At the end, spring has come, and the thin and haggard patient said goodbye and almost seduced himself. After his wife's friend, he supported a sick tree in the yard and cried silently.
6. When the beauty appeared in front of the handsome guy with her big portrait from before, it scared me to sit up from the bed, so some parts can be viewed as a horror movie.
7. The process of plastic surgery is really like a medical slideshow. The whole face is cracked and the flesh is blurred. The doctor's scalpel is like a painting to create a new face, and even the shape of the ears has changed. Having the courage to have plastic surgery, I admire her to death. If your TA has some bad money and wants to get plastic surgery, you can show TA this movie.
8. On the second day after watching the movie, I immediately cleaned the room and organized my books and discs. The handsome guy in the movie is an artist and has a lot of DVDs and books, but the house was clean and spotless. The discs, books, I'm ashamed of how well-organized the photo frames are. The beauty's room is also very clean, with a white mattress in the corner, white sheets and quilts, and a simple table in front of the bed with a computer on it, which can be used without any cables, neat and clean.
9. You know, I like gossip more than film critics. That handsome guy seems to be in the movie too. On the computer in his studio, a movie is being edited, and I saw the picture in the computer. That movie is being edited. The movie in it is "Empty Room" ^_^, if the camera zooms in a little closer, I guess I can see the discs hidden by the handsome guy. It's not all Kim Ki-duk's own works, right? Is Kim Ki-duk a little self-conscious in this movie? mean?
10. Finally, the male audience has beautiful women to watch, the female audience has handsome guys to watch, and both male and female audiences have beautiful views, who doesn't.
When the film came out, there were a lot of criticisms, most of them denounced the love he showed. VCD, a professional home film critic, commented on the old and new accounts together:
"It's a pity that Kim Ki-duk is always obsessed with the level of conceptual expression. His films are always harmful. I suffer from a kind of anemia, especially in these two recent films (including the last "Bow"). I still like the work of another Korean director, Hong Sang-soo, on the interpretation of the relationship between men and women, and even the relationship between time and reality."
I don’t think Kim Ki-duk’s performance of the relationship between men and women is anemia. Those loves are not without background, at least they are more reasonable than the love in the recent domestic blockbuster. The “Empty Room” expresses a kind of platonic confidant love, two silent people look alike. Seeing each other for life and death, they never want to be separated again; the mysterious ancient tradition of love in "Bow" mixes father's love and love at first sight; "Slime Lover" is a typical sadomasochistic love, where the hostage falls in love with the kidnapper, the beauty falls in love with the villain, the reality not uncommon in. "The Drifting Room" is a rational fiction of naked animal love, using sadomasochism to escape fear and overcome fear.
If you look at it from the perspective of a drama film, it is indeed pale, but I think Kim Ki-duk's film is more like a philosophical work.
