This movie is quite perfect, the only regret is that Changguo's mother is so young and beautiful that it affects the viewing angle of this movie. Because this film does not have an absolute protagonist, I will take Changguo as an example to talk about the unique social inspiration and artistic value in this film.
Before talking about people, talk about dogs first. There are a lot of dogs in the film (please note that the dogs mentioned in this article are ordinary puppies, and whenever the word "dog" appears in the ordinary meaning of ordinary puppies), dog barking, dog's death, dog's Run, they are all poor weaklings who have no right to self-selection. Kim Ki-duk used a lot of dogs to make this film, and the symbolism is naturally obvious. It symbolizes the war on the Korean peninsula. The fate of everyone caused by the insertion of the United States is tragic. Kim Ki-duk's movies have always been cruel, and this movie is no exception. There is no hope for people, the tears seem to be unstoppable, and the tragedy seems to be endless.
How pitiful dogs are, not to mention the act of killing dogs by "dog eyes" who specialize in selling dog meat, Yinhua's practice of masturbating with a puppy looks very beautiful, I think this puppy is very pitiful, but the most pitiful It's still silver. When it comes to dogs, I must also mention the man "Dog Eyes". He sells dog meat for a living, but he has a unique feeling for Changguo's mother and helps him. I don't think he is a bad person. In the end, Changguo used him to restrain the dog. way to strangle.
Now, let's talk about the tragic image of Changguo. He is a "mongrel" born of a black man and a Korean woman. He is ridiculed everywhere. He does heavy physical work and kills dogs with "dog eyes", but he is kind by nature and doesn't want to see many dogs. brutally murdered. However, he was very aggressive with his mother, often beating his mother. Changguo's mother worked as a call girl before the American soldiers came to Korea, and finally married a black officer and gave birth to Changguo. She regarded the United States as her hometown and spoke English casually, so she was ridiculed and attacked by her local neighbors. But for Changguo, his mother is a label of shame. Chang-guo is a poor man, but also has a kind heart to help the weak, and he helps Eun-woo drive away the bullies who bully him. En Wu is also the main actor of the film. Together with the American soldier and the "dog eyes", they portray Chang Guo's tragic image from the front or side. However, I have a question that I don't know, what kind of thoughts Changguo has about his mother. In fact, I think "Dog Eyes" takes good care of their mother and son, and it's good to be alive. Trying to open up a different mind to think about my poor mother, the letters I wrote have become "love letters to turn back." Why can't you be nice to your own mom, wouldn't it be nice to just let it go and start your own life when it happens?
Maybe that's the style and charm of the great Kim Ki-duk movies. It is difficult for people to live. In "Saints", money completely restricts people's bodies, while in "Unknown Recipients", people cannot live because of circumstances and complex relationships. Since there are not many movies of Kim Ki-duk, and his comprehension ability is limited, it is indeed impossible to understand the only film in South Korea that directly exposes the complex emotions of the US military in South Korea.
Finally, continue to talk about Changguo. Chang Guo's death is similar to that of "dog eyes". He overturned his motorcycle and turned it upside down. Only his legs were upside-down and he was wearing American military boots. Later, Changguo's mother pulled a cart of hay, which sparked the only surviving body. When Changguo's mother found it, it was already winter. Changguo's mother often held the cremated relics, cried every day, and finally set the truck on fire (note that her and Changguo's home is an old red truck), with the sound of "spray", her own life ended. .
There are also a few typical characters, which are worth mentioning, but they are all just "staring at a dog's eyes in life, and stretching out a dog's legs in death".
