"The Empty Room" was the first Kim Ki-duk movie I ever watched.
I knew before that his films had an escapist tendencies in Eastern thinking - I'm really a rookie, I don't know how to start this, but I still reluctantly said a few words in error - this tendency is found in "Empty Room". " also has a very obvious performance.
First, let’s start with the identity of the hero. A young man with a college degree is working as an advertisement and is even homeless. Homelessness can be understood as a change in the family, but work - I understand it, he cannot integrate into the body of society. In other words, "the world does not meet his ideals", he as an individual cannot be compatible with society - look at this society, rough and cold - from the police's attitude towards him, full of power and money transactions - from a woman's husband The police retaliated. A man like him, who is taciturn, introverted, unsociable and unwilling to be humiliated, with a pure and pure heart, cannot be tolerated by such a society. So he had to live by sending out advertisements and living in empty rooms. The former does not need to deal with society, the latter lives on the residual resources of others. He just needs a little something. He lives in the narrow crevices of society, and only needs a little air to breathe to survive.
But even so, society still cannot tolerate him. The couple who returned early beat him, and the dead old man's son sent him to the police station. Especially since he snatched a woman from the world, he was treated more cruelly. The revenge of the woman's husband, and the occasional beatings by the unscrupulous police. So he had no choice but to escape again, doubling his escape from the world - practicing ghost art. This is the maximum escape for the living. Never get in the way of anyone again.
In the process of his choosing to avoid the world, I feel that women seem to have played a role. When a man practices golf with a string, women always stop him, as if afraid that he will hurt innocents by taking revenge. When he accidentally injured a person in a car, he probably gave up the idea of ​​avenging a woman and rebelling against society.

Love is always comforting. Women are beautiful, love is beautiful. A smile on the corner of a lover's mouth can offset all suffering. Love is also a way of spiritual detachment. It lifts the body from the ground, free from all the weight of the world.
