3.5 There are parts I like and things I don't know why. The picture of this film is more suitable for watching on the big screen. The first half of the movie is a idyllic and soothing rural life, a very, very natural life picture. The memory of the past life is also very interesting. Souls, ghosts, catfish spirits, princess servants... I thought to myself that this is really a country with rich imagination (thinking of India)...
The part where the mermaid has sex until the underwater shot is very special. By the way, I think that the sound effects and sound effects are also very natural. Are they all radioed at the same time? It's just that the part of the previous life that was suddenly inserted does not have a particularly close sense of connection with the story itself, it seems like a story that can be pulled out by itself.
The part where Boonmi went to find a cave before he left was also quite interesting, but before he died he seemed to say that I don't know anything about myself... very philosophical. So far, the story is still clear. But he didn't understand the description of the future dream that he said before his death. With a few photos? Is it because of cost constraints that I can't shoot the expression? Power reigns, cannibalization, and disappearance can be understood with photographs. But the people of the past appear in the future, to be discovered or not to be discovered, what intention is this expressing? Is it related to the content in the news that you don't understand at the end of the credits?
What is the part of the film that continues after Boomi's death? Does it matter? If you look at the second half in this way, the whole film is very fragmented and spliced. If the first half is still expressing a state of life, life, family... There is still a question about life and oneself... What is the second half?
