Some directors and audiences in China always like to push the reasons for not having a good movie to a certain bureau. Neighboring Korea, the Republic of Korea, does have more creative freedom, but I found an amazing work that can make excuses for bad movies in the face - "Miryang".
I think Miryang should be a life movie, it's too life!
When her husband dies, the woman takes her child to her husband's hometown. She has a natural intimacy with her lover's hometown. Those who see this place are all relatives. This is very life.
The lonely mother and son have found a home, and they have a strong desire to talk. In order to become a popular person wherever they go, it is inevitable to say some big things, which is very life.
One day the child was kidnapped, and the kidnappers demanded money. Most of the incidents ended in the hostage being ripped off, and most of them were committed by acquaintances. Sure enough, the child was gone, because of a little vanity of the mother. Misfortune comes out of the mouth, it's life.
The woman is in extreme pain and she tries to be rescued from religion. She thought that she had been unable to get out of the pain because she resented the murderer. If she could follow God's mercy and forgive the murderer on her own accord, maybe it would not be so painful. A weak person needs a sense of superiority to gain power beyond suffering. The Virgin Mary can be seen everywhere in life.
When she sat in front of the murderer and hadn't said the words "I forgive you", the murderer said first: I believed in God, and God forgave me. The woman is angry, and I haven't forgiven it yet. Why should God forgive me first? ! I am still in so much pain, why did the murderer get love and peace in the first place? ! In fact, human nature is like this, it is very life.
Of course it can't be too cold, there will always be a mediocre but solid man who silently guards a woman and acts as an angel in her life.
Life is like this, with pain and warmth.
Can a Chinese director make such a movie? A Bureau: Blame me!
