film review

Herta 2022-03-25 09:01:09

The three films are almost all direct portrayals of Park Chan-wook's personal style. In addition, the storyline, characters, dramatic foreshadowing, etc., all the elements that are generally considered to be necessary for films have been placed in a secondary position. . The three films basically express the same complex: extreme love, absolute hate; and the latter is often derived from the former. The expression used is the same: revenge.
Then, what does "hatred" mean in it may be a question worth exploring. In the film, it can be seen that the director wants to express his distrust of society and his derogation of Christianity (from "Gold" to "Bat", this is indeed a continuous topic; we can even talk about Park's works The style is based on doubt and betrayal of the spirit of Christ.), a negative view of human nature and an obsession with violence, etc. It is not clear whether Park is eager to restore a real world, or just wants to create a ridiculous world. If it's the former, he's obviously gone too far; if it's the latter, its value seems to depend on what the spiritual value Park wants to bring to the audience behind all the creations - just at this point , it seems that the director is still too obsessed with the style itself, ignoring everything else that may be more profound.

    Not as good as "I Want Vengeance".

    The tune of Europe and the perversion of the Koreans are more gimmicks than content. I really don't like this style.
