It used to be free, now she asks me to sleep.
Very childishly written.
How long does it take to complete a full life? 70 or 80 years? We can't control the length of life, so we take the end as the beginning, and we can't help but believe in reincarnation. Life is complete when the end can become the beginning.
Kim Ki-duk is a fatalist, he is as afraid of death as we are, and he is looking for a way to not be afraid of it.
Film directors are used to paying tribute to their idols with their art, and Kim's idol is Buddha.
The purpose of Buddhism is asceticism, and Buddhists use the suffering of the body to forget the fear of the mind. This is an ingenious but effective method. Once the ascetic practice for decades is fully realized, even a pool of stagnant water is the most beautiful scenery.
Korea is not a serious place for art, where the art forms are beautiful and relaxed, we often cry in laughter, where artists understand life but do not want to make life heavy, but that often makes life seem too light. Spring goes and spring comes again, very special and very Korean. Simple to the extreme picture, but beautiful people yearn for. State your own ideas, but do not stop at formal symbols, and the development of the plot is just as delicate and moving.
The four seasons The four
seasons are reincarnated, and nothing can be as endless as the four seasons. If you abandon the calendar made by human beings, it seems that you can't see the beginning and the end. When wood flourishes, spring comes, fire leads to summer, gold leads to autumn, and water leads to winter. Little monks grow in spring, choose in summer, undertake in autumn, and have epiphany in winter. No matter how ordinary it is, it contains all things. At the end of another spring, it was a simple scene, but I knew exactly what happened next. I calmed down and thought about it, and I was afraid, so I believed in fate.
I think the director laughed, he knew that he didn't need to write heavily, because I couldn't overturn the four seasons, and I couldn't overturn the laws of life. He just needs to be like an old monk, not in a hurry and let you watch your life.
snake
As a woman, the perception of women in the movie irks me.
Women are used as tools in movies for trigger points of karma and tools for epiphany, which is very narrow. Of course, this also leads to the most mentally retarded metaphor in the film. The woman is vicious like a snake. The woman abandoned her child and was immediately killed by karma. I thought about a lot of meanings for the death of a woman, such as abandoning a child means ending the continuation of one's life or the child is the only hope, but I don't think it's true, because the theme of the film does not have a good impression of women.
Island If you
look closely you can see that the island floating on the water is not fixed, which means it has no roots. In summer, when the little monk first met a girl, he said that you can live as long as a tree. Trees have roots.
I know that I will not be content with the status quo and disdain to be entangled, but it is not a lifetime, it is static forever. Like histories written in books, they don't change and have no hope, so I don't think about permanence.
Doors All doors in the
movie are formal, I would rather believe that the little monk goes around the door every night to linger with the girl and the old monk knows.
It's only a little bit open and round, but it will change everything after entering and leaving. The door to the world is only built on the mind. All doors can be opened without a key.
But the door in my heart will be closed.
The old monk didn't say anything. If he did, it would be better to separate them with a wall. A boat
is a connection.
Does not belong to the earth and does not belong to the empty door. So the young monk made love on the boat, the old monk sat on the boat, and many people used it to leave and return with it.
It is shaky but indestructible. It is so fragile that it can be pulled back with a chicken, or it can be so obsessed that two big men can't move it away. The old monk has raised many animals, but only it is the same as his soul. Countless people.
But after all, it is a ship. It wants to save people into the empty door, but it has to be loyal to the passengers. This point is in line with the old monk, and everything should be natural.
The
last , the last, the little monk inevitably becomes an old monk, and begins to do asceticism to repay the sins of his youth, and then watch the little monk transcend his own evil, and the film ends. you know. Week by week.
Not to mention it is the best education, but it comes at a price. Buddha has no emotion. I often wonder if Buddhism is concerned with the process or the result? The film seems to focus on the results, but I think it might just be influenced by the effects of the film. Moviegoers focus on the outcome of the movie.
We are often not dishonest, but sometimes we are out of time. To those around you, to the next generation.
We regret many things.
So look forward to it.
Maybe all of this is my reverie, the more I think about the world, the more confused I am. Maybe the movie is just a form. We, including the director, can't do much, we can only wait and bear, which is very wise.
Wong Kar-wai, Kubrick, Kieslowski, Antonioni, Kim Kidd, Kitano Takeshi, Iwai Shunji. They're just as lost, their movies don't have an ending, they just have to tell the story in a circle and then make it impossible for you to escape.
In fact, like Kim Ki-duk, he told us, either you take this boat or wait for the ice. There is no risk to the boat, but you are not free, and you may die on the ice road.
Terribly extreme.
