It's immoral, it's love

The meaning of the film is simple and intriguing. It is not only Hong Changxiu's confession to Kim Minxi, but also the meaning of two people's declaration of war on the world and ethics together. Combined with Kim Min-hee's bold confession at the award ceremony, the drama outside the movie is strong enough. What's more, the dialogue of the movie itself is hard not to remind people of their real relationship.

The heroine Young Hee and the final director actually hide the protagonist's declarative lines, which is a bit groundbreaking. Young-hee said to Ji-young, "All I want is to be able to live like myself. I won't be shaken. No matter what happens, I can live like myself." But everyone has an air of mastery over her. And Yingxi's sudden attack at a friend's dinner table went a step further, "None of them are qualified, they are all despicable, and they are all content with lies! They all do dirty things, and they say it's the best! They all live like this, and neither of them Qualification to be loved!" There is a kind of Quixotic absurdity of declaring war on the world, but it seems that it is really not qualified when you think about it carefully. Everyone put down their masks, and the filth and despicability that they are hiding have to remind themselves that when one finger points to others, there are four fingers pointing to themselves. But in the end, this is also the cocoon of self-protection for Young Hee and the director behind her.

The embarrassment of Hong-style films in which characters deceive themselves and talk about themselves with no regard for the opinions of others is one of its hallmarks. And this embarrassment came to a head in the director's venting confession in Young Hee's dream at the end. "There is a monster in my heart, as if I want to break free." And those suffocation and regret, the embarrassment of the others in the room has overflowed the screen, but Yingxi, who is sitting opposite the director, seems to have obtained a satisfactory answer and laughed. . The later reference to Chekhov's book sealed the conclusion of the film, "It was only then that I realized how unnecessary everything that hindered our love." The man made a bold confession, and Yingxi woke up from a dream. , always revealing that kind of cheap feeling. But the purpose has been achieved, I declare, the two of us together is moral.

And writing here, I have a bolder guess about the ending of the first and last two stories by the sea. It was only the audience who woke up, and Jin Minxi had already been carried away by the director who never really appeared.
