Because revenge is human instinct

I know you're a good man, but you know why I have to kill you? Understand? Ok? do you know? Park Chan-wook's film style is so unique, bright, simple, dark humor, cool rist. The Vengeance trilogy is set in modern times, but the characters and stories are particularly comical, like another dimension of the real world. Of course, his success is not just because the movies are cool enough. He was born in the philosophy department and always asks some philosophical questions to the audience. In fact, at first I thought it was going to be a story about the poor class taking revenge on the rich class, but when the little girl drowned, I was dumbfounded. Who the hell is going to take revenge on whom? One is a deaf-mute boy who has no father and no mother, who sells kidneys to save his seriously ill sister and helps an old passerby lift his pants, and the other is a divorced and honest company boss who lives with his daughter. Two good people, whoever kills the other doesn't seem very good, what answer did the director give? The deaf boy's sister died, he wants revenge, who to seek revenge? My sister committed suicide. Looking for a gang that sells kidneys, why did they cut off their kidneys for so long without taking revenge and go now? It is not the reason for revenge that the kidney is cut off, but the death of the elder sister. The reason for the death of the elder sister is not because of the kidney selling gang, so why seek revenge from them? who cares? The instinct of revenge always finds a place to vent. Boss Park's daughter is dead. He wants revenge, who should he seek revenge for? The daughter was drowned, not directly killed. Find all the relevant people, the girlfriend of the deaf man, the deaf man, and even the innocent delivery boy. You are not such a cruel person, why? who cares? Kill it and it's over. When the only belief in existence is broken, what can restrain the instinct?
