Loneliness, salvation, love, dreams

In the afternoon, I watched the movie "Empty Room" by South Korean director Kim Ki Deok. A director who has always been favored by various film festivals but has been underperforming at the box office in his country. When I saw it, I felt a little weird.

Tai Shi, a man who handed out flyers, went to live in different empty houses, and later took away a woman who was abused by her husband, Sun Mi, and the two moved between different rooms together. Stay, eat, repair broken appliances and wash all dirty clothes as if you were in your own home. The two fell in love like this. Later, a dead old man was found unattended in a house. The two buried the old man, thinking they could live quietly. But the children of the elderly came back to call the police and captured the two. Sun Mi was taken home, and Tae Shi was jailed for various crimes. Tae-Sok practiced hiding in the prison like a ghost without being noticed. Later, when he came to Shanmei's house, the almost invisible man hid behind Shanmei's husband, and only she saw him.

"Everyone is an empty room, waiting for someone to unlock the heart lock and let us be free. One day, my hope came true. A man walked up like a ghost and took me out of restrictions, and I followed him without hesitation. Stay with him until I find my new destiny..."

There is no dialogue in the whole movie, only the heroine said three words, "Ah", "I love you" and "I have dinner." The phrase "I love you" was uttered 70 minutes after the movie was aired.

I can't tell the plot of the movie clearly because of the director's bizarre ideas. The picture is beautiful. The protagonist's actor completed all the communication by relying on his eyes, and his eyes were so shocking.

There is a sentence at the end, everyone does not know whether they are living in dreams or in reality.

In fact, the movie expresses very well, staring at the screen, there is a gentle and quiet atmosphere flowing, and there is good music. Only when you see it, you can feel it.

My feeling, a few words in the title, is enough.
