Kim Ki-deok's movies always make people feel like they are going to die. They always cut open the sadness and nakedness of all the unsatisfactory human nature. , I'm really freaking out.

After reading "Unknown Recipient", I felt that there was a place in my chest that was a little uncomfortable. There were no tears, not sadness, but a kind of labor pain that could not be relieved. I really want to take a knife and cut an exit on the dark side of the spirit, so that countless entanglements will disappear in the blood-stained sin.

If the torture of life did not destroy the remaining human nature, then no one who is indifferent and ruthless to himself would be able to watch each of his films indifferently. I just watched, stopped, and watched it.

Blood, violence, rape, discrimination, these are not the main themes he wants to say, what I see is hope, family affection, love and longing.

No matter how they express their love, what I smell is happiness. This happiness is not tenderness, it is tragic, it is self-destruction, and it is born of love. I praise him, it is better to be cruel than indifference, better than neglect, better than silence, better than compromise.
Desire and fate made them choose to destroy, but their destruction also perfected their lives and made their own voices.

The butcher who kills the dog, the girl with a cataract in one eye, the cowardly drawing boy, the child left by the black man, the mother waiting for a reply, the father who values ​​honor, the American soldier who gets drunk, each of them is affected by fate, desire, love Driven and embarked on the road of never replying, the ending of everyone being teased is ironic. I couldn't bear the ending and closed my eyes.

What everyone can't have, they will pursue. And some things may be borrowed, but you dedicate a tragic life with the original intention of love, and this happiness is enough to return.

Why cry for some people? All life is tear-jerking

    This temperate village has a repressed face, the thin layers of soil are bare, the long dry winter and spring are accompanied by sand and dust, the mountains are imprisoned by men, women and children, and the God-blessed Americans are unable to fly. A knife, a bow and arrow, a pistol can all commit suicide, a steel wire, a fishing net, a dog leash, and a length of wire can be made into a noose for hanging. Children have surrendered to violence. Leave no room for survival. "The Pessimistic Perspective of Geographical Determinism"

    The more you think about it, the more arrogant it becomes. No matter from any angle of characters, race, men and women, sex, language, space, etc., the whole film is full of binary relationships. But not against each other, but mixed with each other. Therefore, this film is also an allegorical film of how to purify relationships = how Koreans gain self-identity. The three central characters finally chose self-destruction in order to achieve the return of identity and self-redemption.
