We are all empty rooms

We were all empty rooms, waiting to be released by the one who opened the door.

This work of Korean director Kim Ki-duk is actually very appealing to me. I hate it and am fed up with the Korean eroticism or bloody violence that swarmed in a certain period of time. This time, we return to innocence.

The picture of the film is very elegant and delicate, with rich imagination and full emotional power. The hero and heroine of the film belong to the type of marginalized people. Perhaps marginalized people can reflect more deep thoughts of human nature. The humanity of non-marginal people is often wrapped in too many coats, and there will be language barriers in expression. So it continues the surreal background setting in "The Room of Drifting Desire", "Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter and Another Spring", and the same is true for "Empty Room", and the sad film itself has a relative Bright or kind ending.

The film has a lot of idealism, and at the same time does not reduce the shock of the film. Kim Ki-duk makes two desperate and lonely people fall in love. This man and woman have nothing but each other. This is both a distrust of love in social relations. , but also a fascination for purer spiritual love.

"You have a home and family, but you only know that leaving him/her alone at home is different from an empty house?"
