"There's nothing but sunlight here." Shin Ae reached into the sunlight, the shadow of her hand on the wall, shaking in the sunlight, she said.
At this time, she did not have a favorable impression of the church.
When I watched Li Cangdong's "Miryang", I felt like something was shaking in my heart. There was a line looming, but it couldn't be strung together, so I couldn't help but feel a little anxious. I was thinking, what kind of password is hidden in such a bland dialogue? Perhaps, what Shin Ae saw was only the sunlight, and he couldn't see the existence of other things.
The same beam of sunlight, at the end of the film, Shen Ae cut her hair by herself, and the strands of broken hair that fell on the ground swayed slightly under the blow of the wind. One strand was blown and rolled across the ground. Move the hair to a spot exposed to sunlight. A strand of broken hair turned into many strands, and the wind was blowing, and they were shaking. The dark shadow on the ground was not Shen Ai's broken hair, but the shadow of the dog's tail grass.
Is hair and shadow another combination of passwords?
The film depicts Shin Ae, who lost her husband, and moved with her son from Seoul to live in Miryang, the birthplace of her husband. Running a piano school, she looked around and wanted to invest, but she got into trouble. The kidnappers kidnapped Shen Ai's son, but Shen Ai didn't have enough ransom money. It turned out that the investment was just a lie, but the son was torn apart because of this. Shin Ae collapsed from then on, and was finally revived by the power of religion. However, when Shin Ae went to the prison and expressed that he wanted to forgive the kidnapper, the kidnapper actually said that he had been forgiven by God.
If religion is sunshine, what Shin Ae sees is definitely not the same as what others see. What does the audience see about Shen Ae?
When the piano school opened, Zong Can, who liked Shen Ai, put up a certificate for her who had never won any awards. Shen Ai said, "Why lie?" As the story develops, we know that she is not a person who doesn't lie: Pretending to be a buyer and acting as a bully, going into a record store and stealing discs is also a clever trick, so you have to steal an extra record as a cover to ensure that you can get the disc you want. Looking back at the reason why she came to Miryang, this place where her husband was born is of course to remember her husband. Another reason, Shin Ae told her younger brother: "Because no one knows me in this place."
The vague dialogue and fragments, we It's not hard to reconstruct a past about Shin Ae: stealing, lying, her husband being a punk, and her parents' broken relationship, and moving to Miryang, the bigger reason is to escape and throw away the past, and then get A new life, just as Shen Ae decides to become a religion later. But in the end she failed, and religion could not regenerate her, nor could she move to an unfamiliar place. When her car almost hit the girl in the reformatory school, her past self was like a wound that would never heal. She was far away from touching it, but she couldn't escape the pain.
When my husband's birthplace became the place of my son's death, I was not religious, but I couldn't help thinking that God's will was at work. The girl in the reformatory school who seems to have nothing to do with the story, but every time Shin Ae sees her, she always brings shock. It's just that the two people who saw each other didn't have much interaction. The last time they met was when Shen Ae got out of the mental hospital and cut her hair, and it was the girl who was doing the scissors. The two faced each other for the first time at this time—just as Shin Ae faced his own past for the first time.
Before the hair was cut, Shen Ai left excitedly, and finally looked at the mirror in the yard and cut it by herself. The atmosphere of the film was so gloomy and stagnant that she couldn't breathe, suddenly became relaxed, and the camera moved with the cut hair to a place where the sun is dense , the shadow shook like a broken hair.
