It can be said that the state of the workers in "Shengshang" can be equated with the young Kim Ki-deok. After being unable to accept this endless and endless life, a talent will choose to take all his savings and go to a stranger. The land reopens life. Everyone in the film is like this, on the road with despair and hope. Work, love, jealousy, desire, hatred, despair and hope will always be the driving force for survival. Jiang Dao violently collects debts because of his desperate life, and chooses to end because of the hope given by his "mother"; "Mother" chooses to deceive and revenge because of despair, and chooses to fall alive and die because of hope.
In Kim Kidd’s image, the world is like this. You cannot distinguish between beauty and ugliness, good and evil, hope and despair, they are given to every involuntary image. In "The Samaritan Girl", you can say that Yi Jun chose to atone for his sins because of hope, or he re-entered the path of comfort because of despair. Money, desire, love, everything, while giving you hope, will also give you despair. There must be this day. This is what Kim Kidd wants to tell you, you don't need to feel sad too early, because the next moment, you may smile brightly again.
Kim Kidd’s life history is rich, and this is also one of his capital and opportunities. Seeing more of the fate of mankind that seems to be tireless but unrepentant, Kim Kidd’s pessimism is more of a relief. This is the way we live, just like the endless and boring cycle of his movies, making love again and again, stealing again and again, secondary debts, and getting stuck in the quagmire again and again.
This time, the picture of Kim Kidd in "Holy War" is more like a pseudo-documentary. The advancing and zooming of the lens makes the eyes very uncomfortable, but perhaps only the effect of such a play can keep us reminding us when you think of them When you are poor, you are also poor; when you think they are lucky, you are also lucky. Kim Kidd doesn't teach you despair, nor does he want to tell you the cruelty of life, but hopes that you can face everything you face, just like Jiang Dao lying down in the tomb of "mother", savoring the warmth of despair.
