love code

I have seen 9 works of Korean director Kim Ki-duk, and I have written 3 film reviews before ("Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter and Spring", "Bad Boy", "Samaria Girl"), from the artistic and shocking two From an angle, in my mind, the fourth place should be "Drifting Room", and the fifth should be "Empty Room". Kim Ki-deok's latest work "Time" in 2006 should be in the back row, but I just watched it last night. Let's take advantage of the freshness and write some feelings.

The story of "Time" is actually very simple - after being in love with her boyfriend for many years, the heroine chooses to leave because she is afraid that the man is tired of the relationship. The heroine even completely changed her face in the extreme way of plastic surgery, and appeared in front of her boyfriend with a new look and identity half a year later. After repeated temptation, the heroine found out that the original boyfriend still deeply loves the original self. One day, the hero finally learned the truth of the matter. He felt cheated and played. In order to retaliate, he decided to have plastic surgery too, and let the heroine go to the crowd to find him beyond recognition.

This film critic wants to interpret Kim Ki-duk's works from a new angle.

The bright line of "Time" is to use plastic surgery to change love, and the dark line is that love always loses to time, so it has the name Time.

What I mainly want to discuss here is, what is the secret code of love?

Almost all people who have experienced love have encountered the scene at the beginning of this film, where the woman keeps asking the man "Do you love me?"

Almost all people also know a love preservation password, that is, both men and women learn to constantly adjust, give each other a certain space, and let time change everything.

Oh, it's easier said than done.

I once asked some Korean friends if they knew a Chinese saying about love - "the left hand pulls the right hand", but no Koreans said they knew.

The female protagonist who has undergone plastic surgery knows that her face is unreliable, and the only thing she can believe is how she feels when she puts her hand in a man's.

The male protagonist also had plastic surgery, and the female protagonist didn't know what he had become. Time and time again, she put her hands in the hands of other men. When she finally found a man who felt a lot like him, the man immediately died in a car accident. Maybe in the future life of the heroine, she will never know the answer.

Kim Ki-deok's works also have a common feature: he doesn't give you the answer, and the intelligent audience often feels a little wrong in their hearts after they have justified their stories satisfactorily.

I don't want to discuss here conventionally, whether the man who died in the car accident is the hero, just wants to use his hand to speak, and the hand is useless. The classic Chinese saying of the left hand and the right hand has already been placed there.

In the film, there have been many sculptures on the theme of love in the seaside park. Lovers embrace each other. Love cannot be immortal, but only solidified sculptures can do it.

Why can't love be kept fresh? In addition to the ordinary and boring life, suspicion is an accelerator.

In the film, the appearance can be changed, but the heroine's character has not changed, and the suspicion of her boyfriend hastened the death of love. Cause and effect repay each other, what is owed will be repaid sooner or later.

People are very sad. People can't stand temptation, let alone torture.

No one can trust their lover 100%. This is not a kind of loyalty or infidelity, because people are like this. It is rare and rare to be able to jump off after 16 years like Yang Guo.

While watching the film, a friend texted me and asked me, "Can one person fall in love with two people at the same time?".

I don't know how to answer.

All I know is that in addition to believing in love, the more important thing is to cherish the moment.

We can't beat the time.

Time can beat everything, including the most loyal love.
