Indifference is the most cruel killer and the most desperate. very scary.
The film tells the story of a single woman, Hae Won, who is working hard in the financial industry in Seoul. She is under tremendous pressure from all aspects. The island has beautiful scenery but rough folk customs. Haiyuan was warmly received by her childhood playmate Funan, but this gentle and kind woman was regarded as a pig and dog by her husband, sexually abused by her uncle, and bullied by villagers on the island. Funan tried to escape many times, but he was always caught and beaten. The last time he escaped, Funan's ten-year-old daughter was pushed over and hit by a stone by Wanzong, Funan's husband, while protecting her beaten mother. Funan's daughter's name is Yan'er, which symbolizes Funan's good wishes for her daughter to escape the cage, but Yan'er still did not escape. When Yan'er was ten years old, not only had she never left the island, she was forbidden to go to school, and she was even seduced by Wan Zong, who was not her biological father.
At the end of the film, Funan kills all the people who have turned a blind eye to their suffering, including the dereliction of duty police officers who came to Kojima to investigate the truth about Yan'er's death.
After Hae-won escaped from the island, she fell asleep at the police station and woke up to find that Funan was also in the cell, so she ran out of the unlocked cell in fright. They chased. Haiyuan locked herself in the cell, and Funan found the key. Instead of opening the door first, he handed Haiyuan's childhood flute from the fence of the cell. Funan was standing, Hae-won was kneeling, the white flute was like what a man said, just like back then.
Back then, Haiyuan and Funan were playing together in the woods. Maybe it was the sound of the flute that attracted Wanzong, Tiezong and other 4 bastard boys. Maybe it was the childhood Haiyuan's kiss to Funan that stimulated the boys' hormones. In short, Funan was trying to protect Haiyuan. Fight with boys. Hae-won left Funan and ran away, but Funan was gang-raped. As a result, Funan became pregnant and had to marry Wan Zong. As a result, he was abused inhumanly and raped by his uncle Tie Zong for a long time.
In this way, what Funan handed Hae-won at the gate of the prison was not the flute that symbolized the "good life" in Seoul, but the hardships that Funan endured on the island.
In fact, Funan has been helping Hae-won. From when Hae-won first came to the island, she discovered that Funan had been cleaning Hae-won's old house for ten years, to cooking and washing Hae-won's house, and to stopping Tie Zong who tried to rape Hae-won in time. .
It's not so much that Yan'er's death was the last straw that crushed Funan. Funan's backlog of suffering over the years broke out in an instant, not only to redeem Funan himself, but also for Haiyuan. The death of her daughter, for Funan, who has suffered for many years but has a good nature, the goal of revenge is not strong and strong. Funan's lines illustrate her long-term experience of life and death, and the short-lived act of murder cannot bring real relief. , Therefore, saving Hae-won is Funan's real hope.
It should be said that even if Funan kills everyone, it won't hurt Haewon. But Hae Won is very strange, she seems to have never thought of it this way, and she is unwilling to believe such a fact (for the fact that Yan Er was seduced by Wan Zong, her first reaction was to refuse to believe it). Hae-won's silence and indifference make her more of a walking dead than Funan. At the beginning of the movie, Hae-won witnesses a few bastards beating the girl outside the bar, but she, like other passers-by, refuses to help, even when the police ask her to testify, she doesn't identify the murderer. In the face of the bastard's threat, the police came to question, she still said that nothing happened. But seeing Funan trying to kill Wan Zong on the island, Hae Won instinctively reminded Wan Zong to be careful, and Hae Won had clearly witnessed and knew Wan Zong's various atrocities before, and he would die. Even Hae-won took the crewman De-seo, who had been in trouble with Wanzong's brother, to flee for his life. Funan once contacted a kind and kind-hearted prostitute to save himself. It was this Dexiu who deliberately delayed and failed to escape. Funan was beaten, Yan'er died tragically, and the prostitute was raped again.
Did Hae-won fall into something wrong? Why is there no distinction between good and evil? You must know that without Funan, Haewon would have been raped by Tiezong long ago, and Haewon would be the next Funan (Wanzong also made it clear that he would keep Haewon on the island as his wife before his death, which aroused Funan’s anger despair, kill it outright).
In the police station, Funan handed Haiyuan Dizi across the fence of the cell, which was actually to rescue Haiyuan and give Haiyuan hope for life. Funan took out the key and tried to open the door of the cell, actually trying to redeem Hae-won who trapped herself in the cell. But Haiyuan didn't leave the cell. Funan handed Haiyuan a flute and asked her to play the childhood tune. Haiyuan tried to play it tremblingly. Funan was trying which key to open the door of the cell. Funan was shot, it turned out to be the incompetent police officer who went to Kojima to investigate Yan'er's death. Funan pulled out a large hammer that had been smashed into the table and smashed it into the policeman's private parts. The policeman was completely dead. Maybe this policeman was the fourth boy who raped Funan that year.
But in the cell, Hae-won, who was stimulated by this, went to the other extreme (she retreated to the depths of the spiritual "cage"), Hae-won broke the flute in half and stabbed Funan in the neck with a sharp piece. Funan's blood gurgled in the flute pipe, like spring water. With the last strength of his life, Funan pulled out the flute with great difficulty, reconnected the two pieces of the flute, and held it up to Hae-won, so that Hae-won could play the tune when she was a child. Hae-won blew out her voice this time, and although the pitch was completely out of tune, she was gradually able to make it into a song. Then, Funan died in Hae Won's arms.
This white flute symbolizes hope and desire. Hae-won played the flute and was truly reborn.
Hae-won returned to Seoul and re-tested the gangster who beat the girls in the bar. When I got home, I turned on the rain and washed myself, and it seemed that I was heading for a new life. Haiyuan picked up the discarded letters in the trash can and found that they were all written by Funan before. Several letters were written crookedly: I miss you. This repetition represents the despair and hope of Funan's repeated desperation at that time. In addition to "I miss you", the last letter also said: Only you can save me.
No island, I hope there is no such island in this world. Funan, a kind and gentle woman who is always hard to be blessed. Hae-won looks like a celebrity, but in fact, like the sea, she has no "roots" general sense of security.
