——Zizek: "The Fragile Absolute" Page 48.
So, logically, I found the finger of gold. It is exaggeratedly bandaged by white gauze, which is longer than the palm of gold, like the barrel of a small pistol. The golden dress was beautiful and glamorous, but the finger was dragged on her body with a big tail, which became an imperfect stain. Why do you want to leave uncoordinated and imperfect stains on a character whose shoes must be high-heeled, dress with different themes, and emphasized that "everything must be beautiful"? Of course it is because that is the indispensable core of gold.
The never-white snow-white remaining
finger has an image similar to a weapon, but it also represents a soft repentance: the finger was cut to ask for forgiveness from Hongmu's parents, it represents atonement; and its anti-coordination aesthetic orientation also It reminds us that it not only represents the atonement, but also represents the remnant of the atonement. The "remainder of inexhaustible removal" is commonly referred to as the sin that cannot be redeemed. After the revenge was avenged, Jin Jin softly knelt in front of Hongmu's ghost, and was asking for Hongmu's forgiveness. He was immediately put on a plug by Hongmu. The plug that blocked her confession was giving her The one worn by the sinner Mr. Bai is exactly the same. Jin will not be forgiven, because her act of repentance (killing Mr. Bai) is precisely her sin—by using others to achieve goals. The gold paired the mirror to erase the red eyelid that symbolizes revenge. There are countless neatly inlaid rectangular log blocks around the mirror, which symbolizes the infinity of the remainder: revenge—sin—repentance—
Then there is love. The angel (daughter) handed the "Snow White" made by Kaneko herself. Kaneko cried in shock, but she couldn't eat it all the time, so she slammed her head against the "Snow White" cake. But because of this, Jin finally got the hug of her daughter (angel). The voice of the old woman said: It is precisely because she has not received inner forgiveness that I am more willing to love her more. Jin couldn't internalize "Snow White". Under the heavy snow that seemed to purify everything, she was the only one in black clothes of vengeance. But is this despair? No, there is still a white place on Jin Jin's body, that is, the finger, which is outside of her, and is inscribed with the remainder of revenge and sin. And all the pain and forgiveness are in the remainder, they reinforce each other, rather than cancel each other. If revenge is generally considered to be focused on a
beautiful and strong group
, the rhythm of "Kindly Gold" is undoubtedly slower than that of "The Original Criminal," and there are more distracted roles. So I think the most interesting part of the whole film is the group drama part of the parents' collective revenge. Park Chan-wook here shows the most different orientation from "The Original Criminal": between the calm close-ups of the parents’ first appearance, interspersed with their excited pre-narrative shots, the significance of this whole set of jumps is that Park Chan-wook intends to surpass " The sensory pleasure of "The Original Criminal" is driven by the extreme plot result and its reversal, but turns to the choice, the details of the narration; the touch and pleasure of those details are still there after the result is predicted.
In the details, we see how these parents gradually formed a sense of group. They will have differences, discussions, and votes. Everyone’s individual flaws will be exposed and will provoke attacks and help. The roles will change, the helper will become the helper, and the cowardly will become the brave. They seek meaning, but also hesitate, and then insist on their desires. They can't help but talk to each other, but complaining does not necessarily bring sympathy-Rongzhu's grandmother says who doesn't have her own story-and the paradox is that the absence of sympathy does not tear the group: it is what Rongzhu's grandmother said The ruthless eldest sister who was speechless, grabbed the out-of-control father swinging an axe at the moment of vengeance, reminding him that grandmother Rongzhu is still waiting, not to kill the enemy all at once, not to be too much (may also include not letting the body The weak grandmother Rongzhu saw too bloody scene). With such a way of getting along, I would say that this is a strong group. In this rich and complex understanding, they seem to be able to grow (at this level, I tend to interpret birthday songs as growth rather than rebirth), and at the same time they tremble, lose consciousness, convulsions, and need someone's embrace during revenge. This paradox is like the establishment of such a beautiful group (how stylish the group photo after revenge is), the guarantee is not in the positive emotions such as the common bereavement, but in the threat of evil: "Who dares to report? The words...I won’t go on.” In fact, I often imagine that my group is similarly evil and strong.
The mutually reinforcing relationship between good and evil is a complex break with the pure and innocent "supreme good"; in our world where differences continue to multiply and contradictions are increasingly strengthened, it paradoxically indicates a more dense sky. (If you think that Zizek is too far away, we still have Ye Yincong*.) I and other petty bourgeois women will inevitably be obsessed with things with fine eyebrows, but the most important thing is that the exquisite details of "The Kind Gold" are not only in the beautiful clothes. It also lies in the excessive overflow of wax tears, the scars on Jin's face, the weird look that does not look like Li Yingai's close-ups, these kinds of details that tear and strengthen each other. And there is an unnamed x, which is scattered in it; as to whether it is a god or a devil, I don't really care. As for Park Chan-wook's sufficient kindness towards sinners, this is absolutely certain.
