The old man has directed movies all his life. At the age of 80, he has a strong body and can still produce and work. Although the movie is not particularly eye-catching, it is also impressive because of the unexpected plot. I don't know if it is because he is accompanied by his adopted daughter and later wife Song Yi, who is 30 years younger than him, and especially likes this kind of old man with a little princess. But in the end, I still found out in my conscience that I let this scum die in the trap of my own design.
Human beings, no matter how handsome and handsome they are, with their mouths full of high-sounding words, if they put aside their pretense and become a downright self-interested person, they can look disgusting. In the first half of the movie, Abe is a decadent philosophy professor who thinks that life has no meaning, but because of an accidental overhearing of the conversation at the adjacent table in the hotel, he has a sense of justice in his heart to kill the people, so he carefully planned it. committed the murder of a strange judge, and he believed it made the world a better place. At this point, he is still a person with a sense of justice and execution, although a little impulsive, but admirable, but the plot takes a sharp turn: at the police station, it is possible to accuse an innocent defendant, and his girlfriend threatens to surrender him Abe didn't even blink an eye, and chose to kill his girlfriend so that he could go to Europe with another lover. Fortunately, the careful planning failed. He underestimated his girlfriend's ability to resist, and he eventually slipped and fell into the elevator because of the flashlight he won for his girlfriend.
It is particularly ironic that he felt that life was boring not long ago, and tried to end his life with Russian roulette. But after awakening the love of life by killing one stranger and saving another stranger, he chooses to murder his girlfriend to save his own life.
The darkness and light of human nature are in a single thought. For me, who is used to seeing love that lasts to the death, I find it both horrifying and ironic.
