Whimsical world in a mental hospital

The heroine suffers from schizophrenia and thinks she is a robot, fragile and stubborn. Her problems include: first, she refuses to eat and feels that she should rely on charging to replenish energy; second, she must overcome all difficulties to give her dentures, because a grandmother who has been sent to a mental hospital is a rat herself and does not wear dentures Then you can't eat radishes; third, figure out the ultimate meaning of life that grandma wants to tell her. After the heroine failed to charge herself, she was also sent to a mental hospital by her family. I met a group of patients with very different symptoms, but all of them were very imaginative. The male protagonist is one of them, schizophrenic and kleptomaniac, fantasizing that he can steal everything in the world. The male protagonist's mission is to help the female protagonist solve the above problems, and treat his inner wounds by the way.

The main body of the story is to see how psychopaths warm each other and fall in love.

It is hard to imagine reading such a story and summarizing such a central idea!

Director, Park Chan-wook. I've seen Old Boy, Stoker and Kind Gold before. A director with a distinctive style, like watching Jean-Pierre Jeunet, is recognizable and fun. These three stories are all about revenge, which is too bloody for me, and probably because the mental state of the protagonists is a little crazy, the story often develops beyond my expectations and understanding at the end. In short, before watching Park Chan-wook, it was all about the beauty of appearance - jumpy editing, flexible shots, bright colors, interesting soundtrack. It has nothing to do with the story itself.

But this "Robot Love", not only the film language is still the director's consistent style, but the story also talks about psychology. From the synopsis of the plot, you can see that it is a crazy story, but since the protagonists are neurotic living in a mental hospital, who cares about what they do and what is unreasonable, and why the story begins and ends like this. You and I don't understand their whimsical world, just appreciate it. There is no excessive blood in this story, and the ratio of freshness and cruelty is just right. Throw away your sanity and let your vulnerability, pain, and fantasies unfold. Kudos to the heroine Wangqing's performance!

Ps: Finally, let me say "Stoke", it is still the most pleasing one of Park Chan-wook's works that I have seen, and its appearance is extremely beautiful.
