Paranoid and quiet love

Yesterday, I watched a Korean director Kim Ki-duk's latest movie "Time" this year. In fact, I prefer its other translation title "Liar Yan". Only Chinese can play such a meaningful word game. Will Yan Yan lie? Yes, especially in the face of time, it seems more vulnerable, but this story does not directly tell the story of aging and the passage of time. The director tries to discuss with the audience how love can stop the passage of time, so love is here. Easily linked to the change in appearance, the heroine Se-hee chose to leave after being in love with her boyfriend for many years because she was afraid that the man would get tired of the relationship. The heroine even completely changed her face in the extreme way of plastic surgery, and appeared in front of her boyfriend with a new look and identity half a year later. After repeated temptation, the heroine found out that the original boyfriend still deeply loves the original self.

One day the male protagonist finally found out the truth of the matter. He felt cheated and toyed. In order to retaliate, he decided to have plastic surgery and let the female protagonist go to the vast crowd to find him who was beyond recognition. . . . . .

Women's fear of being bored with love is actually a very old-fashioned topic, but it was morbidly magnified under the lens of Kim Ji-deok. Will love last under brand-new stimulation? Will the two hearts in love get further and further apart under the cover of the skin? Time, time will give us the answer. Some things are wrong from the beginning. Many times, in order to correct this kind of mistakes, people can only make mistakes and add more mistakes. There will be a whole new world, but all this will no longer be what you want, if you can't get what you want, you can't get what you want, and it's only yourself who is embarrassed.

The heroine in the movie is a paranoid. She can't see that happiness is by her side. While watching, she is anxious for her, scolding her for what she deserves, and lamenting the man's innocence.

About time, it always makes people think too much. If you think too much and go too far, you will ignore the reality of life. So the director said a sentence at the end of the film: It is difficult to tell whether the world we live in is real or a dream. it's hard to tell that the world we live in is either a reslity or a dream.

I feel that the director is a person who can express his thoughts with unique perspectives and techniques. I was curious about what his other films would be like, so I came to him with great interest in his 2004 film "Empty Room". Look, I also think it's very good-looking. If you look at the poster alone, it will feel like an erotic movie, but in fact it hardly involves sex. It is a very wonderful movie, in my opinion it has a strong sense of idealism, especially the "ghost practice" done by the boy. After success, he becomes a "ghost" who can avoid people's sight. He uses the ghost way to interact with women Love and live together. What kind of power should such love be to fight against a woman's husband's abusive possessiveness with a hidden, unseen love. I swear a lot of people have times when they want to hide, and this movie creates such an ideal state.

The film is also extremely quiet. The hero and heroine in the film are almost speechless, the boy never said a word from beginning to end, the woman only said two, one is the most tender "I love you" I have ever heard, and the other is what she said to the boy. "Breakfast is ready". The beginning of their relationship, communication and communication are all conveyed through their eyes, expressions, and perhaps inner strength. They don't have a word of dialogue, but it makes people feel that they are always connected. Quiet love is a key that unlocks the locks of their hearts.

"Everyone is an empty room, waiting for someone to unlock the heart and set us free. One day, my hope came true, and a man came like a ghost and took me out of the confinement, and I followed without hesitation Follow him until I find my new destiny..."

These are the two stories I have seen in the past two days, paranoid love, quiet love.

This is what I saw, what I thought, but unfortunately I haven't finished what I want to say
