If
There must be some viewers who don't know the truth because of not watching the film carefully. Such a seemingly incestuous story is despised. And Kim Ki-duk will always show a more cruel and tragic world of humanity than the uncomfortable or dirty sex in his film. The
film is based on the suicide of a young man. And the screams of a woman led to the title of the film. The identity of the male protagonist is a debtor who was abandoned by his parents since he was a child. His target audience is the workers living at the bottom of the modern city who are unable to repay the high debt due to borrowing.
Jin Ji-de chose such a disadvantaged group belonging to the bottom of the society. It is not difficult to think of Jin Ji-de who worked hard in front of the factory machines. In his youth, in addition, this noisy, dirty and cheap working environment has also become a microcosm of the cold world of modern steel and concrete mechanization.
Such a living environment is full of the hero's entire life, and it is also the only way to support his source of life. The money obtained in this way, Jin Kidd, also endows it with a certain curse, which finds the root of the cruel revenge of the mother who lost her child in the future. The mother said in the film - "Money is the beginning and the end of everything. ”, emphasizes the reason for revenge, and also points out the beginning and the end of the film in a seemingly circular way.
The hero’s hatred for his mother who abandoned him piles up his life, and even makes it a part of his life. A kind of spiritual power, and use this spiritual power to violence against strangers, to "revenge" the mother who abandoned him in an indirect way, and behind this boundless hatred, it is he who hides. The mother's love that he has been asking for all the time. So after getting "mother's love" later, his fragile emotional world composed of hatred began to collapse and made a huge transformation.
Women in Kim Ki-deok's films have always held an incomparably important position. In the film, the mother begins her revenge by giving first and then destroying. Outside the house where the male protagonist lives, there is a sentence - "Believe in Jesus "Eternal life", this sentence Kim Ki-deok gave three shots. Jesus used his own pain to wash away the original sin of mankind and save mankind, and advocated that all sins should be affected by love. The mother in the film is because of her beloved son. Hatred was born, and love was used to take revenge. And in the case of unbearable heart, I finally completed this revenge, and won this revenge journey with the end of my life.
Seeing this, we can't help but feel the cruelty of Kim Ki-duk again, There is no room for cruelty.
But is Kim Ki-duk really cruel? He did not let the hero continue to live on the dead, but put on the sweater that his mother originally knitted for his own son to pay for the sins he had committed. Use blood to end this sin here and pave your own road of redemption.
The whole film is a re-exploration by Kim Ki-deok in search of a pure world, and in real life, the road of hatred can end here. What about the mutilated father who instills hatred into his son on a daily basis in the film? What about the hatred that most of the time has not been shown? Will it ever end? After all, Kim Ki-duk doesn't give us a perfect answer, which is exactly what His cruelty, and getting temporary relief from extreme cruelty is Kim Ki-duk's way of self-salvation.
For those who love Kim Ki-duk, this film did not disappoint us.
In Kim Ki-duk's emotional world, we have always Yes - only the ultimate, not the ordinary.
