Many movies have a suspenseful beginning, even if it's a drama, as if adding a death element can easily arouse the audience's interest.
The film revolves entirely around one person, and there are many moments of talking to oneself, being alone, crying or feeling nature, but not purely personal. Even if my grandmother is connected with people, there is only a slight connection, such as the questioning at the poetry meeting, which seems to be unable to read the air. When other people are despising poetry and feel that poetry is declining, one person is asking, "Then how can it be? Write a poem?"
This kind of inappropriateness is also reflected in the dress, gorgeous clothes, scarves, and a hat must be matched with the shape. Like a silent resistance to the patriarchal society, at least one can still write poetry, dress up and enjoy flowers while alive.
Some films are devoted to the sexuality of the elderly or the disabled. This film just subtly incorporates this element into the story. The male disabled person serves as the president, and the grandmother helps him reach a climax to solve the problem of compensation.
I watched two movies together. When I watched "Love", they were all indoors. It was a sketch of the relationship between husband and wife. When I watched "Poem", the sinful story of sexual assault implied the conspiracy of the school, the newspaper office, and the perpetrator's parents. Buy the truth with money. When the grandmother faced the parents of other perpetrators who were not well-meaning, she seemed to be urged. The gender and age brought tension to her identity. The grandmother was the weak one. She was asked to do something and was urged to pay.
When grandma knew what her grandson had done, and saw her grandson again, she couldn't understand why the child she raised was like this? Why is it like a beast, the beast will also bury its traces, why can't he restrain the beast in his heart? She could only bear all the pressure by herself. The only outbreak was just pulling the quilt and wanting to question the grandson, but the grandson clung to the quilt and refused to answer.
In the poetry class, my grandmother thought of the purest childhood, someone to take care of, no need to worry, a gentle sister, who was loved by herself, and now no one can resist all this for her, and when she grows up, she loses her gentle cover.
Li Cangdong's films often have elements of Christianity, which is a Korean cultural composition. This film does not discuss too much faith, but only gives grandma a chance to get a photo of the girl. Take a look, this girl looks like she is holding a photo, you can remember this person, remember that she was alive, instead of being hidden in the truth of the conspiracy, so quietly bought by 30 million won down and die.
Making a movie or writing an article may require that kind of atmosphere. It is a well-choreographed story, but it seems to be as natural as the wind and the rain. The wind blew away my grandmother's hat, and the rain wet her shoulders. Finally, I came back in the car, full of emotions. Stress makes an important decision. Or when her grandson was taken away, she continued to play badminton with the police officers she met at the poetry meeting, not surprised or flustered.
My grandmother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, so she went to see the victim's mother, just reciting Xingzi's poem "Let me split on the ground and prepare for the next generation", metaphorically, but forgetting the real The thing to do is to reconcile with the other side.
The director shows the conventional elements in the film, such as the lust of the elderly, Alzheimer's disease, and juvenile delinquency, but he does not follow the conventional way. , you can glimpse part of the darkness in the leopard, but it has been degraded poetically. In a world of inhumanity, there is still the basic decency of life.
