Sexual contradiction under erotic desire, Reivew on The Handmaiden

This film is adapted from the novel "The Ingenuity" by the British writer Sarah Waters. As a writer who is good at writing lesbian works, the story of "Miss" is of course indispensable for the turbulent life under the breath of abstinence. The Victorian era transformed into the Japanese occupation of North Korea in the 1930s, but the character setting and plot construction are reasonable and reasonable. Park Chan-wook’s control and crafting of the movie is no longer "exquisite" to describe it. Emotions, hormonal tastes, flesh and money, desires and conspiracies permeated in the movie. The movie is like a fragile porcelain, but it is full of opium that makes people happy to death.

This movie can probably be viewed from two levels: the surface and the inside. On the surface, it is a film full of eroticism. The bold love scenes are self-evident, and the erotic literature that Park Chan-woo focuses on is read, without nudity, but Through the echo of the text and the camera, a bolder scale is shown. Correspondingly, the "Miss" who is the reciter is filled with various lust words, but because of her isolation from the world, she retains her purity to a certain extent. Although the whole movie involves various conspiracies and betrayals, love, which symbolizes purity, still becomes the end of the movie.

This is the case for the whole movie. The pictures are beautiful, the music is beautiful, the performance is excellent, and the rhythm is tight. It is not used for too much in-depth interpretation. The dramatic story will quickly bring the audience into the world constructed by the director. And if you have any thoughts about the movie, Park Chan-wook also provided enough details to make the audience chew and aftertaste again and again. "Miss" is not dull, not plain, nor pretending to be sophisticated, all the beauty can be used directly. The eye catches it, it can almost satisfy all kinds of views
