A dog named Kunan

"You don't have any money here, do you want to live like those dogs for the rest of your life?"
Jiunan put away his wry smile, yes, the original dull life was borrowed six months ago to send his wife on the train to South Korea It has disappeared since then, and there has been no news for 6 months.

The life of picking up Kong is as bad as Jiunan's performance at the poker table, and being robbed of Kong.

An ethnic Korean living in Yanbian, he denied that his life should be like this. In order to change his life, he entrusted his hope to his wife, and in order to seek hope, he pushed his fate on the gambling table.

With Boss Mian's vision of his future life, Jiunan embarked on the road to South Korea. Like his wife, he was alone, full of hope and fearful of the unknown.

When the snake head threw a fellow villager who died of illness from unbearable wind and waves into the Yellow Sea on the way, Jiu Nan didn't go too far: she is your compatriot and should not be treated like this.

The target who needs to be assassinated was killed before himself, who? Why? Before these questions pop up in your head, you are forced to start running away from capture.

After being shot and wounded by the patrolling police officer, Jiu Nan fled into the barren hills and looked at his arm hit by the bullet. Jiu Nan was distraught, fearful, helpless, and lonely, just like his earlier monologue, I am like the dog with rabies, and everyone who sees it wants to kill it.

After wandering aimlessly, Jiunan returned to his previous foothold and sought a way to return home, but was surprised to find that the boss Mian who hired himself, the brother of the assassinated target, and Jin Taiyuan, who had a background in the underworld, were both enemies and friends. And they all want their own lives. That is the night when Jiunan escaped, people chewed on the traces he left, spreading rabies.

His wife died because of the man he beaten when he was looking for it. Jiunan hung up the phone of the client who cremated the corpse in a daze. Looking at the Seoul Terminal, Jiunan realized that he couldn't go back, and there was no need to go back. Now, with determination, I called my family.

...

Jiu Nan saw the person he swore to meet. At this time, he was dry and had no strength at all. He just watched for a long time, turned around and left slowly...

After clarifying the truth, he dragged his wreckage, took a fishing boat hostage, and took his ashes to his destination, the Yellow Sea.



Along the way, what Jiu Nan killed was only an idiot who was hired to kill him after being kidnapped and stabbed with a knife under dazzling eyes. Strictly speaking, Jiu Nan did not take the initiative to kill anyone, everyone. They all died in the process of chasing and killing him. He was like a dog with rabies. In the end, under the torment of the disease, he died alone.

People turned against each other because they wanted him to die, and because of his flesh and blood, the disease spread. What really killed people was not Jiunan with rabies, but madness, greed, and exclusion.

Jiunan died in the Yellow Sea and floated on this ocean that was close to the Three Kingdoms but did not belong to any country. As a Korean who grew up in China and longed to live in South Korea, this is his final destination.

Maybe it wasn't his wife in the urn, but at least he had the same helpless Korean soul to accompany him. When he was dying, he was not so lonely.



* The director did not arrange to use guns in the film, but used axes, knives and even sticks as murder weapons, which also implied that this was a group of crazy dogs infected with rabies, tearing at whatever they could with their teeth.

* Jiunan's monologue:
When I was 11 years old, rabies was prevalent in the neighborhood.
My dog ​​also got rabies. At first, it just killed its own mother.
In the end, as long as it can bite anything,
it will go to Biting to death,
the villagers wanted to slaughter it, but
a few days after it was not caught, the dog was thin and dry, and
black eyes appeared again
. I lay down slowly and never got up again.
I buried it in the back hill of the village, but on that night,
the adults dug it up again and cooked and ate it.
The reason why I suddenly remembered it
was because Since then, the mad dog disease, which has never been popular again, has begun to spread,
The spreading rabies

    Although the second half of the plot was a bit off the beaten track, the style of the video is really impressive. With the comic-style editing in seconds, every scene is tense to the point of exploding. Seemingly wrestling, but in fact fate.
