Terribly delicate

Director Park Chan-wook is absolutely top-notch in the control of audiovisual language, art, photography and sound effects. His last work "Stoke" has several very exquisite lens designs. After a funeral, the heroine walks through the room full of guests. The scheduling is extremely wonderful, and the heroine is set off with subjective sound effects. The feeling of loneliness and combing is extremely impressive.

This "Miss" is also exquisite and terribly exquisite. The experience of watching movies in the Lumiere Theatre in Cannes is very good. Such exquisite audio-visual language, coupled with the two fragrant heroines, really make people have a physiological reaction. But the fateful thing is that the satisfaction that this film gave me only stayed on the level of physiological response.

After leaving the theater, I was dissatisfied, but you excited me but failed to give me the unpleasant feeling of orgasm.

In the middle of the film, the ending of the story can be guessed, and there is no character and emotional climax at the end. Some netizens commented, there is passion but no love. I basically agree. If the emotional establishment of the two protagonists in the middle of the film is still foreshadowing, the later plots have suffered too much emotional development in order to take care of the layout of the revenge plan.

The most important thing is, as a feminist story, what is the end of that glamorous performance? Who are you showing it to? I didn’t feel love in that scene. As a male audience, I had the pleasure of watching pornography, but that was the end of the film. I watched it for two hours. But you only gave me the pleasure of watching pornography. I would not be satisfied. !
What I am looking forward to is the shock that will linger after watching "Old Boy", but director Park Chan-wook’s works in recent years have really never felt like this again.

  • Aunt of Lady Hideko: [Reciting] When Jinlian finally took off her clothes, Ximen Qing examined her Jade Gate, discovering the Secret Well to find it hairless, white as snow, and smooth as jade. Tight as a drum, and soft as silk. Once he drew apart the curtains of flesh, a scent of well-aged wine emanated from within, and on fold upon fold of the red velvet interior, beads of dew were forming. Its centre was dark and void, yet as if it had its own life, it twitched and twitched...

  • Uncle Kouzuki: Korea is ugly, and Japan is beautiful.

    Count Fujiwara: Some Japanese say Japan is ugly and Korea is beautiful.

    Uncle Kouzuki: Korea is soft, slow, dull, and therefore hopeless.
