Digression: This is a classic. The animation of the manufacturer's logo in front is very good. It's a blessing to have Park Chan-wook in Korean movies.

No matter how you say this film, you have to watch it twice, just like "The Very Suspects", you can understand it the first time and enjoy it the second time. And what was blurry the first time was clear the second time. When I first saw the first half of the film, I almost didn't want to watch it and deleted it. What is this? Director Park is pretending to be for business this time.
I can support watching the first half of the film because I recently watched the dialogue between Marco and Kublai Khan in the first half of Chapter 3 in Calvino's Invisible City, where "the city (and the movie) is like Dreams are made up of hopes and fears, even though the clues of her story are implicit, the rules of combination are absurd, the sense of perspective is deceptive, and every thing hides another. The heart and chance are not enough to support The thick 'real' walls. These are really her answers to your questions, or the ones she can ask you to answer."


In the first half of the film, I always thought that Lin Xiujing was ugly. When I watched it for the second time, I realized that it might be caused by the expression of Lin Xiujing looking at the fluorescent light in the first half. Just relying on this expression, Lin Xiujing can play Korean-style, Japanese-style horror. piece. There are many interesting details and passages in the film. For example, Yingjun, played by Lin Xiujing, because her mother cooks cooked pork, recalled that when she told her mother that she thought it was a robot in the kitchen, the background was blood red; Yingjun was facing the vending machine. The lamp tube asked for the lamp to drink tea. Park Yishun played by rain saw Yingjun wanted to invite the lamp to drink tea, but he didn't put in a coin, so he put in a coin for him and chose tea, and Yingjun took the tea and faced the lamp. Say thank you; 16:16 When Yingjun went to chase the ambulance that took away grandma, he said "a bicycle came, it caught me", the camera showed the same meaning, Yingjun just started running to chase, when he met Downhill, the ambulance disappears, comes up. Yingjun ran to the end and disappeared, but after he got up, he rode his bicycle quickly; and the man who apologized - Quan Deheng, he was very polite, and even the humble did not dare to move forward. He called this court etiquette. Once he passed by a car accident scene, he was sure that the letter was caused by him, he kept apologizing to the victims, and finally they couldn't stand it, so he took him to a mental hospital. The apology man said something to Taiping, the ping pong man. Isn't ping pong giving and receiving? I don't think so. Does a person have to accept after giving? Can ping pong be just giving? ; Elastic man Kyushuo said that he has an elastic band around his waist, and he will feel at ease in unfamiliar places. When the end of life, the elastic band will be stretched to the limit, with a pop! I will go back to the beginning of my life; Guoduan's sleep flight method, wearing mint oil sherbet socks and persimmon socks, will generate static electronic pulling force, making people float, just like a superconducting maglev train, but don't remember before flying Eating chicken food; in the film, Yishun invents the rice energy converter-rice tube to guide Yingjun's 5 steps to eat rice. When the number reaches 3, the business card of the rice tube expert is also the most exciting paragraph in the whole film.

The problems of the two protagonists in the film are caused by their deep love for their relatives. Yishun because his mother and father don't care about him as if he doesn't exist and rarely pay attention to him, so he likes to steal, thinking that he is invisible, and he keeps stealing to let others know of his existence, and he is very afraid of disappearing, so he has to resist Disappearing is a response to the fact that he will become smaller in the film. He also loves his mother deeply, and her mother only told him "remember to brush your teeth before going to bed", so he carried a toothbrush and toothpaste with him, and said that a real man is Mom will not be left alone. After Yishun was sent to prison for stealing, he stole other people's clothes, brushed his teeth constantly, and fought. People said he was a schizophrenic and anti-social, so he was sent to a mental hospital. Yingjun loves her grandma too much. At the beginning of the film, Yingjun fantasizes about assembling a radio by himself, because grandma's radio broke during a quarrel with her mother. Grandma likes mice, so Yingjun brings a Logitech mouse instead and takes it out from time to time to caress it. The basis of Yingjun's whole thought - the origin of the seven deadly sins is because why didn't she give her dentures to her grandmother. At first she was looking for the reason that a robot can defeat anything, but at that time there was no electricity. But in the end I thought it was because of compassion, which is the first of the seven deadly sins, and the other six are sadness, anxiety, depression, fantasies, guilt, and gratitude. The Seven Deadly Sins of Yingjun. Instead of being lazy and jealous of that version. The source idea of ​​Yingjun's seven deadly sins is: Because of useless fantasies, if the guy in white also has a grandma, if they die, Yingjun will feel guilty, will have sympathy for their grandma3, will be sad , they will panic, and whether depression is going to kill them, they must also put aside these guilt.

In the film, Yingjun's grandmother mentioned the purpose of living three times, and Yingjun also fantasized about how good it would be to find a reason for existence. Feeling alive for purpose means being compassionate (no one wants to be a rat), not being sad, not panicking, not melancholy, and not fantasizing. 2 times when I mentioned giving up hope and regaining vitality, I mean don't force yourself, that's one of the purposes of living, don't panic.

At the end of the film, Yingjun Yishun collected billions of volts of electricity and fell asleep in an embrace. The rainbow in the beautiful sunrise gradually turned into a beam of light and disappeared in the shadows. It was really good.

Just for the record.
