Since watching "The Original Criminal", I have become a fan of Park Chan Wook. As soon as "Recreating Human Love" was released, he ran to watch it with expectation. It didn't disappoint me. What surprised me was that he showed a profound humanistic care in this film.
"Recreating Love of Humans" is not a set of science fiction films. The heroine is not recreating people. She is a mentally ill person who thinks she is a recreating person. Like her mother-in-law who thought she was a mouse, she was ostracized by her family and society. Because she felt that she was a reincarnation, she plugged in the wire and planned to recharge, but was electrocuted and comatose. She was sent to a mental hospital.
The director has already expressed his intention in the first act of the movie. The heroine works in the factory. Rows of female workers in red uniforms follow the broadcast instructions to assemble the electronic parts and put them on the conveyor belt. When you read it, you know that this film is actually a variation of Kafka's "The Metamorphosis" in the Internet age. The heroine holds a mouse to talk to the vending machine and the radio, but is unwilling to communicate with humans. In fact, she is not unwilling to communicate with others, but no one wants to understand her and accept her thinking that she is a reinvented person. There is no bad person in that pink mental hospital, no one who can hurt people, they just have different thoughts and behaviors from ordinary people.
This film inherits the violent aesthetics of the revenge trilogy, and there are several bloody scenes, but they are not so heavy. The pink scenes are used as packaging, but the content still surrounds hatred, which begins with the forced suppression of individuals and the conflict between individuals and society. In the revenge trilogy, what we see is retribution, the hatred between people is pushed to the extreme. The avengers are calm, hard-hearted, and well-planned people. They are single-minded and dedicated to revenge, but in the end the revenge is again. how? All are already living dead. In this new work, the director gently showed a way out, which seems to be a summary and echo of the previous work.
This film still takes a surreal route. Compared with "The Kind Gold", I think he is better at the use and processing of imagery this time. The images are presented in a simple and systematic manner, so the audience does not need to explain. Like dumb puzzles, it is easier to substitute.
Let’s not talk about the development of the story, but his shooting this time is very touching, and there are a lot of smiles. It is also in place to watch it as a dreamy love story. However, in the last shot, the two of them waited until dawn in the wasteland on the top of the mountain. That wide shot really made people feel boundless.
I really like the English name of the movie "I'm a Cyborg, but that's OK." The
