This is not a work that can be easily watched. It is intended to tell about the tragic fate and the trauma that the war has brought to everyone. Some people have died, and many more people are still alive. In the post-war ruins, people hated guns, hated death, hated gun smoke and soldiers, hated everything related to war. The rejection of Zhu Wu by the older generation is actually logical. He is the fruit of evil, even if he is innocent.
Destiny is ingenious, cause and effect are reincarnated, interlocking, and the cycle begins again and again.
The son leaves his mother in childbirth and returns in a bloody swallow.
The father lost his right leg in the war, and the son lost his left leg to a gun.
The soldier brings a bright world to the girl, and the extinction of this light also originates from him.
Looking back on the movie now, I can still remember Zhu Wu's mother's gentle and clear eyes in the photo, with the joy of a girl, as bright as the dew in the spring breeze, she must be very happy at that time, otherwise she will not remember these many years . She took pictures of Zhu Wu one after another, and sent them one by one over the past 20 years. She always spoke English, kept her life style, and waited until the end of her death.
The one-eyed girl shares many similarities with her, but is decidedly different. When I was a girl who was like a flower, I met the American soldier, and I had the same secret love (picking a ring, dancing, and putting my feet in the soldier's boots are all the little expectations of the girl for her sweetheart, and she has unconsciously longed to contact him), different Yes, in this close relationship, she never put herself in a poor position. Although being with the soldier is to cure her eye disease, she will never ask for anything. In her opinion, the happiness between them is given to each other equally. She regards herself as a soldier's partner. Therefore, a slap from a soldier is insignificant to Zhu Wu's mother, and a devastating blow to a girl. - It denies the relationship of equality between the two, which is tantamount to denying her love.
So she decided to destroy her eyes, it was very painful, but she was free from now on, she didn't have to look forward to a person's pity for the rest of her life, and died silently in the snowy night with a child raised alone in her arms. Separation is painful, but no A free life depends on another to survive. The girl is very brave, so she is free. This also represents the will of post-war Korea: to survive as an independent country.
The film seems to be limited by personal joys and sorrows, but whether it has the will to survive as an independent individual is also the essence of Guozuo. The unknown recipient is the grief of the sender, but the constant hope for the same kind of charity is a self-created demon of the letter writer.
