Abandoning almost all theatrical foreshadowing, Kim Ki-duk's work ultimately only has the tension of the plot itself. Here is an example: before the end of the film, Jiang Dao's "mother" jumped from the unfinished building, and the old woman who suddenly jumped out. The plot itself makes sense, but it lacks theatrical foreshadowing. There are many similar places, not to mention.
This almost the fastest-paced film of the director still retains Kim's basic aesthetics relatively intact - the cruelty of the world, and the complexity of love in the situation of such cruel people. The biggest impression I felt after watching the whole film is that only hate can be pure, and any form of love has some kind of fetters more or less - so maybe Kim will choose not to believe in this world.
