holy mourning

The whole film of Kim Ki-duk's Memorial is filled with the breath of death and religion. This kind of film is like the air on the high hills that Nietzsche said. According to Nietzsche's meaning, it is necessary to inhale a lot of such air. On the contrary, I think this kind of absurd stream-of-consciousness movie makes people feel suffocated, spiritually suffocated, like a person who asks what religion is, and exposes the human nature of death to you in front of you. The director is a bit similar to He Herzog, because Herzog also had a movie called Son before, what did you do, the son in it kills his mother and the mother who is not her son in this film does what it means to avenge her son Jiang Dao's mother, in the end, in order to let Jiang Dao understand the feeling of losing the pain, she did a crazy thing at the end of the film, killed herself, and showed Jiang Dao, of course she succeeded, Jiang Dao died in the end, but left Our endless thinking, the most common thing in the film is death, whether it is animals, eels on the grill, rabbits killed by a car, chickens boiled in water, or people falling from the seventh floor. People who committed suicide with iron cables at the beginning, these deaths are very pessimistic, and even feel negative to death. Most of the deaths are because of money, because they borrowed loan sharks, so when they have no money, they can only make others disabled to get compensation. It can be said that this All the stories in the movie are all about money, so I remember the person who jumped from the seventh floor said before he died; what is money? This sentence seems to be asking all of us what is money? This money is related to religion, human nature, sex, love, children, mothers, fame and fortune, ask again; what are these things? Perhaps none of us can give the answer. Its existence is like flowing water, and it circulates in the air and on the surface forever. The sins of people are just like him. There are two moving arrangements in the film. At the beginning, it appeared twice; the slogan of believing in Jesus for eternal life, doesn't this mean something, and the death arrangement of Jiang Dao dragging himself under the car at the end of the film. Who knows, this is the holy mourning.
