Kim Ki-duk's films seem to have always tested the bottom line of people's morality and ethics. He generally focuses on marginalized people who are far from the hustle and bustle of the city or whose mind is like an isolated island.
Different from Wong Kar-wai, Wong Kar-wai expresses an ethereal and ambiguous sadness, so that the audience will feel contented after watching his films instead of being sad to the end. And Kim Ki-duk seems to focus more on reality. The sadness he shows is cruel and taboo. After watching his movies, his mood can't be calm for a long time.
I like his "Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter and Another Spring", he used an almost master-level technique to complete the transition from the theme of "Fate" to the theme of "Reincarnation". In the end, we found that it turned out that all beings in the vast world would inevitably sleep with "destiny" after all. I also like his "Bow", old and young love, no verbal communication, can become a matter of course in his writing, and gradually become a realm!
Although "Unknown Recipient" has inherited the consistent standard in form, it seems to lack the finishing touch in the plot, so the final outbreak seems a bit abrupt, making people feel miserable after reading it, not moved. But overall, it's still a movie worth watching
