With the soft voice of the ending song, I cried like a fool.
I didn't understand why I was so moved even watching crime movies, until I remembered the moment when Funan raised his scythe and killed the first village woman, I suddenly sighed in my heart, as if holding back decades of resentment. Zi found an outlet to vent.
Thirty years.
Thirty years ago, Funan came to this deserted island, and she did not escape because she was gang-raped by four men. On this patriarchal island, women do a lot of things, women are beaten and scolded at any time, women have no status and dignity, and even give birth to a daughter, but they don't know whose child.
Days go by like this, and in all the dreams of life, there has always been a figure: Hae Won.
So when Haiyuan set foot on the island, the pain and torture that Funan had endured in the past seemed to dissipate in an instant, thinking of her when she was eating, thinking of her when she was drinking, and even Xiaoyan was taught to be like her. But in the end, the hope with the radiance of the goddess, standing in the strangest and coldest corner of the world, whispered: I was sleeping at the time.
A word without ups and downs made Funan completely fall into the abyss of despair, unable to see the edge, and was rushed into the endless black sea by the rapids.
So she talked to the sun, and the sun told her: If you endure too long, you will get sick. Then she raised her sharp scythe in the sun, like a god of death, and descended on this desolate island.
She slaughtered all the village women and buried them in the potato field, the only thing they cared about; she beheaded her uncle and placed it on a branch in the villagers' resting place; she smashed her husband's chest and abdomen with a sickle and covered it with miso Finally, she wanted to kill the only love in her life: Hae Won, but was inserted into the neck artery by the only token she took away, and slowly died in Hae Won's arms.
At the last moment, her heart, which had been suppressed to the end, was finally released. Holding the memories of my childhood, I put my hands down heavily, and this release is forever.
In Funan's life, apart from Xiaoyan, the only thing that supported her was her memories and longing for Haiyuan. I couldn't find a better outcome to imagine the movie's ending: only by letting the person I love live can I close my eyes safely and cut myself off from this unkind world.
But Funan, Funan, did you know that to this island, you are the sun, emitting infinite rays of light, illuminating dark and damp corners, and releasing those repressed souls. And the sun is the sun, and it will not give up its warm light because of long-term dark clouds covering the sky.
Your smile, your simplicity, your simplicity, your desires, and the flicker of joy in your eyes all turned into a warm breeze, which slowly swept through my heart with the clarity of the spring water.
Funan, you are the sunshine.
