1. If regardless of nationality, Eastern and Western cultures are considered as two wholes, this film does indeed represent Eastern social culture.
2. It is worth reflecting that South Korea dares to fully show itself in front of the world. Whether it is ugly or beautiful, the only Chinese movie I can remember is Ang Lee's "Pushing Hand". On the other hand, this not only shows the quality of Chinese movies Persistence is also a manifestation of Korean films’ daring to revolutionize. South Korea has been invaded by Western culture too much in its history. It can be said that the United States has stripped its skin and seen its whole body. But there are also political and ideological reasons, but I have to affirm it. The thing is, this film shows the cultural collision of the two countries. South Korea shows the ugliness of the motherland's culture in a naked manner. I believe that Westerners often do not think it is ugly, but can feel it is cute. , can feel the preciousness and authenticity of this performance.
3. Eastern and Western cultures, including movies, are in a state of tit-for-tat. Such movies are particularly precious. The focus is not on the change in the content of the movie, but on the fact that it puts down the oriental frame and dares to face up to the two cultures as equals. China Most of the movies and even culture don't realize this. They all hold the plate of excellent traditional Chinese culture, thinking that it is completely different from Western culture, but they don't know that the two dishes are made from the same food. Seeking the exchange, collision, and even blending of Chinese and Western cultures is invaluable, and the unique setting of this film is also a great help, but the question is, when will Chinese films be able to do this? Do we continue on the same path, or do we actively seek change to make the world understand us better in another way?
4. One of my personal feelings: People who have mastered the ideological analysis method are probably not interested in watching a lot of movies, because once you realize the ideological expression (possibly over-analyzing) behind it, you will gradually build up your defenses , gradually lost interest in the film, and gradually lost the true perception of art beyond ideology.
