From the glimpse of Kaneko entering the prison 13 years ago, the plan has already begun. In prison, people call it "kind gold" because her revenge plan requires them. Whether it is out of use or sincerity, she will bring her good and evil to the fullest. Just like the golden face of gold in the film, she is already an almost perfect god at this time. Her purpose is to treat everything well and control everything. After being released from prison, the plan of revenge, step by step, was fully carried out in the plan. Originally thought that Jin Jin would use the silver carved pistol specially made for revenge to kill his enemy, but the director stopped abruptly. The next shot is the climax and highlight of the whole article. Enemy Bai is a perverted kid murderer who is still at large and uses gold as a scapegoat, perhaps because he can't have children. The reason seems fragile or even crazy. As the French director Ou Jong explained in "Provocative Murder", there is no reason to kill a person. On the other hand, Jin Jin’s revenge has many reasons, including 13 years of injustice, including revenge for the children who died tragically, and it was expounded so distressingly and sympathetically. Whether this is the same as the director's point of view, most sinners are sad.
The family members of the victim child gathered in the classroom, even including the police who interrogated the case, and they discussed how to deal with such an enemy. The director's perfect regulation of the entire film is completely revealed in this section. Including whether to report to the police or to lynch, including whether the automatic hands or to act together, each person's posture and ugly face are exposed at this moment. Think about them as unarmed civilians, they want him to die, they want him to die in the hands of all of them. And our kind gold has returned to her sacred and inviolable position of the gods at this time. She is in charge of all this, everything is under her control. In the darkest scene, dozens of people were sitting on chairs outside the classroom, wearing raincoats, holding serial numbers in hand, waiting for the hand-knife enemy white. Some are like Anne's words, gentle and cruel, straightforward and forbearing. The enemy’s life ends under the hands of these people. The fatal thing is not the middle-aged woman holding a fruit knife, or the middle-aged man holding an axe in hand, but an unusually calm old man without a raincoat, compared to panicking others. Woman, her weapon is nothing but a pair of scissors, sticking straight through the back of the enemy's neck. It turns out that people can be hysterical. It turns out that people have a sinful origin. Of course, they were unarmed civilians, and a mad weapon like a knife and axe was not suitable. A pair of scissors was enough to vent their anger. What a black humor!
Speaking of gold, it can be said that there is no metaphor in her body. Red candles, red high heels, red eye ointment, a little dress, and snow-white little fingers bandaged after cutting off their fingers for atonement. There is no denying that gold is beautiful and full of temptation. However, the white bandage that followed her little finger from the beginning was dazzling in every scene. So is the little disharmony just the perfect outside concealing gold's sinful heart?
At the end of the film, after dealing with the white body of the enemy, everyone gathered in the cake shop. The cakes that Gold distributed to other people were all black. This black cake from her hand was like this gorgeous revenge, she It is carefully cooked, and then fed to everyone involved, with a black mouth, as if the heart of a person in the dark is obliterated. But the gold was not eaten. Instead, she made a snow-white cake that symbolized light and bright life to her daughter, illuminating the audience on the night when the snowflakes were dancing. Jin Jin said, you want to live white. This clearly means repentance and atonement, saying that I live in darkness. But when the daughter picked up the cake and ate it by herself and fed the gold one bite, she still didn't eat it. She just put her face on the white cake desperately. But she knew that even though her face was white and her whole body white, her heart was still incompatible with her black robe in the snowy sky.
This is not only a gorgeous revenge, but also an indifferent salvation. It is people who avenge the enemy, and an eye is an eye for an eye; what can be redeemed is the heart, the heart that was once confused and ignorant by gold. In the film, the interspersed love between Jin and the 19-year-old boy, and the love between Jin and his separated daughter, are her salvation. Still from the moment when Gold entered the prison 13 years ago, she stepped into an abyss. This is an abyss that cannot be restored, but it is also an abyss to heaven. Thirteen years ago, the young Jin Jin was just an ignorant material girl. The child she was pregnant with accidentally or was destined to become a bargaining chip for being threatened, so she went to jail. All this seems pitiful but self-defeating. Should such a lost one pay the price? Pay the price for rebellious youth? Then 13 years in prison is the price. This seemingly cruel price is redemption, the redemption of confusion and ignorance 13 years ago.
The whole film is like a seasoning bottle with mixed flavors, full of bitterness and bitterness; it is also a dull and blank life scroll, empty. What kind of posture, what kind of brush strokes, what kind of technique, what kind of strength you need to write, are all your business. But remember, any writing, any behavior, is a price. Like an enemy white, like revenge gold.
