we'll never go back

Nanxun, which entered the mid-autumn season, was already deeply cold. The tree opposite the rooftop looked even more depressed and silent after a fire. There was no wind at night. The landlord asked whether to change the air conditioner. I said, no, it will pass after a while. Wasn't it the same way last year? The air conditioner in the house, whether it is a hot midsummer or a freezing cold night, is just a decoration for me.
The old house no longer accepts ALICE friends, and I repainted the wall full of paintings and notes, and I burned all those notes to ashes and buried them in the backyard. The movie theater’s little partner will soon be demolished. Now, the neighbor next door still owes me money, and I don't seem to have the desire to open my mouth anymore... I try to erase or forget some things, and in the future, for a long time or a short time, I hope that they have nothing to do with the past or long or short years.
After doing push-ups with two little kids on the old bridge at night, the kids asked me, uncle, what are you doing here and where are you from. I was speechless, so I had to pat the kid on the head and say, "Sample, I'll study philosophy in the future. Uncle is optimistic about you."
There was a loneliness at night, walking in a house without curtains, looking up and seeing the moonlight, the light in the cold night was even paler.
I finally decided to watch a Kim Ki-duk movie.
I've been very impressed with him since watching his "Empty Room" a few years ago.
A Christian, in the eastern context, uses interpersonal affection, love and sex to explore the most fundamental question in religion: who am I and who are you. Sometimes I find it ridiculous that an old man is still persistently asking a child-like question. But maybe that's why I respect him more. His films are depressing, with every scene, every person and even every line trying to fit into a Zen metaphor.
In this "Time" that I just finished watching, the small coffee bar, the door of the cosmetic surgery salon, the corner of the street, the tree, and those lines such as Jean Pain: Are you still waiting for her? ? Sometimes I wait, sometimes I don't...
In fact, compared to the title of "Time", I actually prefer the Korean literal title "The Lie of Desire", just like the tone of Kim Ki-duk's films, straightforward, naked and even to the point.
Can looks outlast time in love? How many of us have ever doubted love after a long run? After the time passes, the passion is no longer, and the man around me no longer loves. So we keep asking, how long can we love someone when we love someone; what exactly does someone who loves love you love?
This is a story about a hot topic of "plastic surgery", and it is also a story about analyzing "love desire". In fact, I can still see in it that the director still wants to elevate to the meaning of the religion he has always upheld: those who are in In the time we can't control, whether love is fragile or strong, we all have the softest heart, but we can't resist the soul entangled by desire, and these souls outside of time, we can't answer "I Before the goddamn question of who" and "who are you", all the happiness and pain we have experienced and are experiencing now seems to be in the hands of God.
We are all guilty.
So happiness came, and after a car accident was beyond recognition, the climax came to an abrupt end.
The source of all fragility is because we are not strong enough in our hearts. This time, Kim Ki-duk uses the woman "Sheng (Shi) Xi" to interpret.
A woman will always devote her whole body and mind in a love, or when a woman gives all the value of her life to love, she will become hysterical and fragile, she is afraid of time, afraid that time will make her face old, afraid of getting old The handsome face makes men bored, and this boredom will destroy love every minute and second in time. So she went to plastic surgery, trying to get a fresh face to restore love and redeem love, but in the end she had to entangle and hope that in the duel between the past her and the present her - two different selves in the same love duel.
In love, women are like angels with broken wings.
In the body and mind controlled by desire, men have long forgotten the softest place in the soul that God originally gave, that place is where the love that "I love your face that has been destroyed by time" can be bloomed. It's a pity , we often ignore the existence of this place. Men are not proud enough to attract all the women they want to attract, but there will be a woman who will sacrifice her body, mind and even her life for us. However, we all knew it too late, so when Seung Hee was lost, Ji Woo was extremely lonely, even lonely. When he knew the similarities and differences between Shixi and Shengxi, everything was too late. Even if he tried to change his face like Shixi and cherish Shixi again, half a year, just after the half-year plastic surgery recovery period ended, a scene Car accident, beyond recognition, even Shixi, or we can't tell who the bloody man who fell under the wheel is.
Just like he came out in the dark, who are you, who are you.
In fact, I think that if he still has a breath of temperature under the wheel at this time, he will constantly ask himself: Who am I, who am I in the end.
God often gives us many opportunities, but never gives us a chance to start all over again.
Kim Ki-duk used an allegorical technique to use the first picture at the end:
Se-hee had plastic surgery again, and was hit by a girl when she went out, and that girl was Se-hee.
In the vast sea of ​​people, we have lost ourselves, but we cannot annihilate the face and soul that God created in the first place.
It's just that we can never go back.
Suddenly I remember Karen Mok's song:
hey, I really miss you. It's raining outside the window again. My eyes are dry and I want to cry. I don't know where you are now. If you don't have the past, I won't be sad. If I want to love you, what a pity where would I be without you? Anyway, it's too late, anyway, I don't have myself
...
The old house was chilly, I wrapped a few quilts, smoked a few cigarettes, but still couldn't sleep.
The moonlight outside the window hangs on the roof, and the shadow of the moon pulls my long eyes. I seem to be able to see the two cats hiding there in the dark night, and they are calling again.
