The film is gloomy and depressing from beginning to end, but also tense.

The economy is sluggish, the survival of handicraftsmen is unsustainable, and the people at the bottom are living in dire straits, relying on usury to survive. If the money is not paid, the debt collector will be disabled, cheated on insurance premiums, and repaid the loan.

In the end, the cruel and numb debt collector may be awakened by a trace of humanity, or it may be more desperate for the world. Then he cut himself off, bid farewell to the world, and made atonement by the way.

People are the product of the environment. Outside of the film, what happened to the debt collector in the past?

Aside from morals and ethics, this film actually reflects the issue of social governance. The audience needs to think for themselves.

In Japan, which is also a developed Asian country, "Dark Gold Chou Dao Jun" presents the problem of usury from more angles.

    When the new Venice Film Festival is in full swing, let's take a look at the "Saint" that won the Golden Lion Award last year, and then: "Fuck, Kim Ki-duk is really fucking perverted, and he has done all kinds of damage to the human body. Is it his interest? Human nature and revenge are not extreme enough in an unrealistic world, and the emotional changes between mother and child are too idealistic. The photography requirements seem not to be very particular, but fortunately this film does not make me hate it like "Unknown Recipient". .

    Destroying a person's soul is not to destroy the limbs by vengeance and anger, but to destroy his desire for love. The inner core is still the cruel salvation of Jin Ji De, different from the previous way of expression, the realism continued from "Arirang". Love is like a dream and needs to be vented in extreme depression (emphasized twice in the film), and the rest of the ritualized performance is like three people in the same grave and the last long blood line, with the reverberation around the end of the beam. It's a pity that the truth was revealed too early
