scandal

The film tells a story of revenge. A had an incest with his own sister, was bumped into by the hero B and told C, the scandal spread little by little, and A's sister committed suicide. After becoming an adult, A retaliates against B, illegally imprisoning B for fifteen years, and hypnotizing him for fifteen years. After being released, B meets his lost daughter and develops an incestuous relationship. In the beginning, of course, B was unaware. He was imprisoned, hypnotized, and tortured for what, and he couldn't think of a reason at all. So after being released from prison, he started his own investigation and revenge. The closer you get to the answer, the more you fall into the trap. In the end, the truth was discovered, but it was already a done deal. In order to protect his unknowing daughter, actor B chose silence and continued to live as a couple with his daughter.

The plot of the story itself is quite unexpected. Many netizens said that they would be "impressed" and "shocked", but these cannot be used as the only criteria for evaluating the quality of a work. I saw a pile of rubbish on the road and felt disgusting, can it be sublimated to the point of being "shocked"? Not to mention how unimaginative and hypnotic the method of committing the crime is. Although this film deals with the issue of the justice of human relations, it is clear that the discussion of the issue is still in the primary stage of primitive society. The imitative "love" and "desire" are applied to the relationship between characters without limitation, and they are used to challenge the powerful existing human relations order. This conflict is used as the driving force for the development of the story, but there is no deeper development of the confrontation. Thinking about the problem, blindly chasing the sensation and excitement of the storyline. The novelty of the plot seems to be insufficiently discussed in the face of the weight of the problem faced.

After watching the movie, I felt that I was consumed by the Korean pop culture industry again. I have been unable to figure out a question, why is the ugliness worth restoring? If you are told that the toilet next door is not flushed, the best thing to do is to avoid it, right? But people with "heavy taste" will always be willing to read it, and after reading it, they will have the idea of ​​"life is complete", and this is why. Scandal, being talked about with great interest, may be the inferiority of human nature. No one is spared. So, instead of blaming the people who made the movie, it's better to reflect on the angle of your movie selection. Curious. hum. Watch out for bumping into dirty stuff. :P
