The recipient is unknown and describes a story of a helpless but buried reality during the Korean War. People in remote villages near the US military base in South Korea have become sensitive, desperate and hesitant due to the impact of the war. The male protagonist Wu is an existence that has always been discriminated against because he is the product of the combination of his mother and the black American army. Exclusion from the outside world made his character extreme and domineering. Because of his skin color, he can't have a normal job like other young people in the village. However, he was kind-hearted and could not bear to kill a dog. Every time he hung a dog, he could only close his eyes in pain, so he invited the dog dealer to beat and kick him again and again. En is a frail young man who dropped out of school midway through painting to make a living. He was often bullied by his peers in the village. After seeing Wu, every time he came to the rescue, the two people who didn't talk much became friends with the same illness.
There are few extra scenes and dialogues in the movie. Watching Kim Ki-duk's films, you can feel a little bit of the intention and intention of making the drama. At the beginning, the dog dealer asked Wu to sit in the dog cage at the back while riding a motorcycle to catch the dog, which indirectly shows that the boss actually sees the hero as a dog. When gangsters of the same age bullied En, they always scolded him in broken English, implying that people of that era subconsciously thought that being able to speak English was a great thing, and quite a few people agreed with pro-Americanism. There is also a scene where the US military is holding a portrait of a woman in the same village as a souvenir. Behind the painter are full of sketches like this, and there are many mixed-blood products like Wu, which shows that the tragedy happened not only to Wu. Many people are repeating the same life as Wu.
Wu's mother, unwilling to be at the mercy of fate, worked tirelessly to send letters to the black U.S. military who had returned to China, and kept sending them all the time. Send one with a photo of Wu. In the face of his mother who has no self-esteem, Wu always vents on her the bullying he has received outside. All his hatred comes from the fact that he is a mixed-race monster, but his mother delusionally thinks that one day the black American army will come to pick her up. Paranoid dealing with outsiders in English to buy things.
En's crush is the girl whose right eye was blinded by her brother Jian when she was a child. This girl was used by the director to show the cycle of karma, and what happened to her was the mother of the next Wu. In order to heal her eyes, she exchanged her body with the US military. Although I like Enshi in my heart, Enshi, who has the U.S. military on his back, can only let him possess it.
The film climaxes in the final quarter. Wu finally broke out, grabbed the dog dealer's gun, wounded his leg, dragged him to the place where the dog was killed, and used the dog to end his life. Then he used a knife to cut off the black American army tattoo on his mother's breast. In his heart, he hoped that his mother could completely forget about the black people and live anew. In the end, he fell to his death in the endless Tianyuan, which is undoubtedly the most tragic behavior in the director's opinion. The girl also began to have a sense of autonomy, and she resisted another American army who wanted to carve a brand of occupation on her body. She stabbed the cured eye with her own hands, and paid off what she owed. En shot the lifeblood of the U.S. military and was caught in a cage, and was finally escorted to the car.
All three ended tragically. The shallow meaning is the resistance of the people in the small village who are unwilling to be destined, and the deep meaning is the contradiction and helplessness of the Koreans under the protection of the United States nowadays. The situation was forced and protected, but a considerable number of people were at a loss, and they were unwilling to be forever branded as a vassal state because of this encroachment-meaning protection.
