Kim Kidd’s work Most of them have seen it. The most impressive is the cruelty and cruelty, revealing the cruelty of human nature with cruel scenes. On the surface, this "Spring·Summer·Autumn·Winter·Spring" seems to be the most tender of all his films. There is no such extreme cruel plot as putting the fish hook into the lower body in the "Drifting Desire Room". Some are just picturesque and fairyland-like scenery, but I think this film brings people deeper into the bones. The cruelty and despair of people. Born is evil, there is no way of salvation, evil will not be the slightest change due to the reincarnation of the four seasons, and even worse.
People often regard religion as the last straw to save souls. Converting to religion is the only way of salvation. Then the director puts the story in a temple to let you see if this "straw" can save lives. The main characters are several monks, the old monk, the young monk, the young monk, the middle-aged monk, and the other young monk. Like the changes in the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn, winter, and spring, these monks of different ages also symbolize life. The different periods of the world, the reincarnation of the world. Evil is not shifted by the change of the four seasons, and does not change with the age of life. The evil will continue in the next life. There is no road, no hope. Perhaps only death can be liberated, such as the relics that the old monk burned into after self-immolation.
Let's look at the old monk first. The old monk’s life background is not explained in the film, but judging from his extraordinary skill in hitting cans and the martial arts album left over, at least the director wants us to make some associations. Of course, we can't convict the old monk just by imagination, but it is an indisputable fact that he finally taught a murderer. Perhaps it was this that made him consciously guilty and determined to set himself on fire. Naturally, the guilt of the apprentice cannot be counted on the master. Even if it is at fault, it can be divided into intentional and unintentional faults, but unintentional faults are ultimately a fault. Some mistakes have already been committed unknowingly. For example, the old monk admonished the young monk to treat creatures kindly, but when he dipped the cat's tail in ink and wrote the "Heart Sutra" on the floor, he ignored the cat's pain. Buddhism emphasizes the equality of all beings, and the "Heart Sutra" says "to save all suffering", which is undoubtedly a great irony. Throughout the ages, monks have used acupuncture bodies and squeezed blood to write their heart sutras in order to show their devotion. People are determined to go to the moment before death. It is said that they can get peace and relief, but the director shows us that the white paper pasted on his eyes has been wet with tears. It can be seen that the old monk has not been detached until his death.
Let's talk about the little monk at the beginning of the movie. The little monk’s life experience and his relationship with the old monk are still unexplained. From the perspective of his familiarity with the old monk and his ease in the mountains, he should have grown up since he was a child. There is a small temple in the middle of the lake in the middle of the mountains and dense forests. There is no more closed environment than this. It should be impossible for him to be affected by the "evil" outside, and all actions are natural. So is his "nature" good or evil? The answer is immediately given in the film. The young actors are also very good. The sky is full, the ground pavilion is square, the big earlobe wheels, and a good look. However, it is unambiguous to abuse the little creatures, and they laugh like that when they see the little creatures suffering. simple and naive. Although he was punished by the old monk and regretted it, the one who should have come will eventually come, even in such a wild and closed place. So one after another, he was greedy and obsessed with beauty; when he was obsessed with obsession, he gave up his practice; when he was angry, he used a knife to kill people. After several years in prison, he was punished by the society and returned to the Buddhist temple to find the salvation of the soul. But will sin end there? The director told us that even if you want to change subjectively, objectively it is still possible to continue to commit some crimes. The ice hole dug to fetch water has buried another life. So he walked with heavy load all day long in the mountains, tortured his body in order to get the liberation of the soul, and raised the abandoned baby in exchange for the comfort of the soul. However, after the abandoned baby grew up as a child, he continued the sins of the little monk before, even with more cruel methods. The story of the old monk and the little monk is repeating again, and the sins continue.
Sin is inevitable, and there is no salvation in life. What should we do?
