Such a good movie, I can't forget it after watching it. When I go to the next movie, I can't help but look for his movie again, and I can't forget it after watching another one. Surrounded by the desire and cruelty he displayed every day, I couldn't figure it out. What is not anesthesia?
The first time I saw his film was "Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter and Another Spring". At that time, I thought it was a very Zen-like film. shit. Although many people say that the current "Bow" is not as good as "Spring", in my heart, it is still better than "Spring".
As we all know, his films are all scenes and characters simplified and simplified. This is the same, a ship in the vast sea, an old man and a beautiful little girl. Language is the same as always. I remember watching "Empty Room", the heroine finally said "I love you", but the little girl didn't say a word in this film. But as Jin thinks, too much language is powerless. When there is no language, people can more appreciate and recognize the emotions conveyed by other things and other plots.
I think the old man's love for girls is not the kind of love between men and women on a superficial level, but a very strong "possession", which is like his pets or stationery. emotion. Marrying or not, I think it is the second, although the old man is still in a hurry and tearing up the calendar or something. . As for the issue of men's rights and women's rights mentioned by others, I think it is far away, so let's not talk about it for the time being.
Kim said of the film: "We all hide our desires and hopes because they are not recognized by current social norms. I want everyone to know that once these desires and hopes are vented, The evil, the nobility, the glamour, the pain, and the pleasure it may bring."
That's exactly what I appreciate about Kim. Pain and happiness are actually a matter of one thought. They are so close together, one heaven, one hell. They are brothers and sisters, and once they emerge from the womb, they are likely to emerge at the same time. Like anesthesia, it makes you love it and hate it.
The old man finally jumped into the sea. This plot is not sad at all, and it can even be said to be reasonable. Moreover, I don't think the old man himself will feel sad. He is as smart as him and can already guess his own results. Even death is beautiful, even if he adds "selfish" love to the girl, he can still be beautiful. He is not incapable of everything, but in a seemingly powerless environment, he remains in the world forever.
The ending of the last five minutes gave me a shock. Look, although the old man jumped into the sea, the arrow he shot came back and shot the girl's lower body. Whether you say it represents male genitalia or patriarchy, I think it represents a return and farewell. "Strength and beauty are like a taut bow, and I wish to do so until the end of my life." When this arrow is shot, the bow loses its taut state and the bow of tautness, and the old man should die, and the arrow shoots towards the end of his life. The girl, the most popular girl, belongs to the old man, because all this is directed by the old man. He gave the girl the first time. Since then, the past ten years will never come back, and the girl can find her happiness. .
One of the things I like more about Kim's films is that he tells us the story bit by bit, but it's up to you how you understand it, whatever you understand is fine, it doesn't matter if you don't understand it. You can understand it as happiness, and you can understand it as pain. Look, then again, in fact, happiness and pain are the same thing.
