Kim Ki-duk's movies always give people this feeling, simple characters, fundamental calculations. The kind of thinking behind you that is not inseparable from the gorgeous scenery, gives people a touch of sadness, and makes you think deeply about the society and human nature.
As written in a review I read, if you don't know Korea, you simply can't think more deeply about the existence of this film. The entire modern history of South Korea can be said to have a similar background to China. Foreign aggression, an incomplete country, and the existence of the 38th line seem to always be a scar on South Korea's face, which can never be removed. The problems of the people will always be in front of the people and go deep into the bone marrow. In fact, I don't understand Korea in the past.
Back in the movies, back in the fall of the 70s. At the beginning of the film, the stars and stripes are slowly raised in the American singing, the American soldiers sprinting across the country paths, and the fighter planes flying across the sky, roaring wantonly. The cluttered voices remind us again and again that the protagonists of the film are the living background of struggling at the bottom of the society, and the spiritual wounds of a nation that will never be cured by the cogwheels of the state machine. In the film, Kim Ki-duk takes the trouble to pan the camera to the fighter jet flying across the sky more than ten times. This is by no means a mirror-moving trick played by Kim, but to bring the characters and the background of the times closer in the ever-deepening story. The tragic fate that the protagonists cannot escape is no longer controlled by personal will, but more from the huge pain and lingering shadows caused by wars and political exchanges.
Chang-kuk's mother always dresses up her cheeks comfortably before going out, speaks broken English, FUCK the people who live around her, take pictures of her son with a camera, send letters that can't be answered, live in In the US bus, they were stealing two cabbage. The opening scene is doomed to be a woman who is difficult to gain social approval. And the foundation of our existence in society is the identification of identity, which is more important than everything. In fact, she was just escaping, yearning for another country of life. She thought that maybe she could live a heavenly life in that country, and let herself be recognized by her identity. When FUCKing others, others can also FUCK YOU themselves. In the end, when Chang-kuk cut off her breasts, only to lose hope of her identification with this identity forever. When Chang-kuk's mother was eating her son in the car, she was really frightened, with her demented eyes and her meat-biting mouth. In fact, the ending was already doomed.
Chang-kuk's fate is pitiful, it was doomed from the beginning, it was doomed from the time he came out of her mother's belly, it was doomed from the time the plane circled in the sky, it was doomed from the time this country existed It's doomed, this is destiny. But when our society cannot give a change, and cannot effectively accept and identify with a person, there is a problem in this society. He can't find a suitable job in the society, so what if he finds him; he can only follow others as a butcher, but he can't always deal with dogs, but he always endures the beatings of his mother's lover , at the beginning of the film, when I saw him locked in the back iron cage of the motorcycle, I was really shocked; and the weak often can only make friends with the weak, when the three protagonists are walking on the same road at the same time when. When he talks to the little gangster in English, the expression on the little gangster's face is really embarrassing, thinking that he is an American Korean who has learned English, which is ridiculous and pitiful.
Ji-heum won't be without him just because he's in prison, this kind of person will always exist in our society. They are often obedient, walk with their heads down, and sometimes even out of breath when there are many people. When facing the existence of love, they can never face their truest thoughts, and when facing the enemy, they can only With money in his pocket. But this is often the most terrifying, and the seeds of hatred have long been buried, just lacking a match. I personally think his father has a great influence on him. For a father who can only show off his scars and memories in the past, it is too difficult to be a good and competent father. Without a medal warrior, how can it be good What about soldiers? A son who exists in such a family environment, a son who grows up in such a society is obviously deformed, so the time of revenge is always the most terrifying.
Eun-wook's eyes are scary, and when she flips her hair back to reveal those white-up eyeballs, it really reminds me of horror movies. When Ji-heum shows her love, all he gets is a pile of shredded paper and a slap. The hazy love exists forever in the cracks. Even if Ji-heum is put together, it will never be reunited. This love is destined to be difficult to form. A girl who no one dares to approach, a girl who can only masturbate with a dog, so she looks so nervous when the dog is lost, plus a broken family, a lazy brother, and a busy life every day mother's time. How can you maintain your self-esteem, girl. So when choosing between American soldiers and Ji-heum, she said, do you like to always face me like this, even if you can, I can't. So she could only trade her virginity for her eyes, and she could only be an American lover. Just to be an ordinary person. How can a simple person be so difficult.
Society is made up of people, and a simple social identity can be said to be one person's evaluation of another person. I don't think each of us has to live in the judgment of others.
The gloomy sky, the circling plane, the barking of the dog, the presence of the coat, the mouthful of dirty words, the fear hidden in the depths of the soul, the ignorance of the future, and the unease of reality.
The seeds of hatred have already been planted in everyone's heart.
I hate the sound of planes passing overhead.
