Li Bingxian has chicken-like eyes. I mean, chickens to be slaughtered usually stare at you with that kind of calm, surprised and questioning eyes; in other words, they are very at a loss and very innocent. This kind of look is very convincing when used in "Sweet Life", although it took me a long time to remember that he played this same game in "JSA Common Security Area".

Li Bingxian plays a gang member who suddenly becomes unlucky in the movie. This man seven years, meticulous act according to the rules of the gang, carefully built up his perfect world, and behold, one day the boss on a business trip, so he went to his stalking women have no derailment, and then everything changed ......

ancient roots Troublesome. However, the woman played by Shin Min Ah in the movie did not make any temptations to Lee Byung Heon. Li Bingxian probably listened to a string quartet she performed, and then betrayed the boss's order to spare the cheating woman. I remembered the way he listened to music: holding his hands behind his head, leaning back deeply on the back of the chair, and when Shin Min'er’s cello began to talk to the violin and piano, his eyes seemed to be dying. Kind of strange tenderness in it.

He should vaguely feel the sweetness that he has never had before. This exceptional sweetness invaded his orderly castle until the castle collapsed. The problem was that he had just touched the sweetness with his tongue, and before he knew what was going on, he caught off guard and started paying the bloody price for a little bit of hazy sweetness. In the end, he was killed, killed like a chicken by a stranger.

At the beginning of the film, director Jin Zhiyun plagiarized the wisdom of the sixth ancestor Huineng, and turned over the Zen koan of "The wind moves, the flag moves, or the heart moves." Can't come true". But in my opinion, this movie can remind us only one thing: life is short, and it passes before you understand it.

    This director is quite spiritual, and his style is similar to Quentin's.
