Today, I watched the Korean movie "Montage".
In this film, I saw the most violent conflict in the world. That is the conflict between the entanglement of desires. These desires arise from money, from mother-daughter love, from father-to-daughter love, from grandparents and grandchildren, from colleagues’ competition, from reprimands and struggles between superiors and subordinates, and from professionalism with a sense of responsibility. In such a complex entire coordinate system, the time axis always extends forward. This icy extension makes all kinds of desires appear like soap bubbles. This phantom is the result of maximum tension. They were both beautiful and ugly, and they were terrifying as they spiraled upwards and could burst at any moment.
This is a very deep story. The sophistication of the plot fulfills the audience's judgment on life: in life, good and bad are two sides of a coin; fortune and misfortune depend on each other, and heaven is impermanent. Both Eastern and Western ethics have religious influences. The East emphasizes "conscience" rather than "salvation". Once the conscience is wiped out, it means a bottomless darkness, and there is no turning point. The resulting sadness is a desperate sadness. The sense of disillusionment came and lingered.
