"Old Boy" starts off with great suspense, and it's revenge-motivated and well-paced.
"I Want Revenge", first of all, I finally understood that there are three protagonists, the revenge of the deaf and dumb, brutal and bloody, but understandable and acceptable; as a father's revenge, with indelible hatred, knowing that "you are a good person" ", but also the sense of fate of "I can't help but kill you", which is moving. The final ending is sad.
The story of "Kind Gold" is much weaker, and the characters are well developed, but the ups and downs are not large. It is a straightforward story, telling a story of "how do I get revenge", which feels much weaker in comparison.
Speaking of which, it is actually still a sigh, Park Zanyu used the most direct method to express everyone's choice in their own situation. Everyone deserves sympathy, but they can't help but kill each other, making people nervous and anxious, but helpless. It seems that the trains on several tracks are moving at high speed. The audience looks at the intersection of the tracks, knowing that it can be avoided, or even should be avoided, but cannot control everything. They finally galloped toward their destiny—to fulfill their revenge, to be killed as the object of revenge.
A feeling of powerlessness that is heartbreaking.
Later, I asked myself, if I were the father, and the innocent and lovely child was kidnapped and drowned, even if he knew that the other person might not mean it, would he really forgive him and act as if nothing happened and nothing happened? I wonder what he would do if it were my father?
I know you're a good person, you didn't mean it, but the damage has been done and can't be erased.
I know you have no choice but to be kind, but the dead are dead and cannot be resurrected.
Excusable is the word...only when the harm is still excusable.
Today, I read "Shan Hai Shi". There is a small story in it. An old couple did not listen to Shan's dissuasion and used the five elements to satisfy their desires, which eventually led to the tragic death of the old man. After Shan took the Five Elements Earth away, the old woman made trouble unreasonably, thinking that the monsters that Shan did not transform into the Five Elements Earth were shielding it. Forgetting the slightest who was greedy and created the monster; forgetting who it was, rescued her under the claws of the monster.
Humans are always selfish, but some people control their selfishness within a reasonable range, while others are selfish enough to disgust.
So how to balance this kind of thing, "subjectively everyone is pitiful, but objectively you hurt my daughter"? Because of selfishness to a very reasonable level, it creates a dilemma, which is lamentable, emotional, and ultimately unsolved.
That's a good story.
