Written on January 25, 2022, after watching three films of Kim Ki-duk.
I don't know where to say some thoughts so that I won't be scolded. If anyone who opposes me sees it, please don't scold me. (It was delayed until now because I had some scruples in the draft box after I finished writing it.) Yesterday, I watched the recipient unknown. This is the third Kim Ki-duk movie I watched. I feel a lot of emotion, and I have been worried that I will not be able to sleep, but it is rare to have a good night's sleep. I always do a lot of mental construction before watching his movies. The labels given to him by the public are probably disgusting, curious, erotic, violent, challenging the limit, and uncomfortable. On the basis of a certain accumulation of watching movies, I dared to open his movies again. After watching three movies, especially after the empty room, I felt that the outside world misunderstood him, and the Korean people’s diode brain wronged him. There is no way to separate Kim Ki-duk's films from his own. Because his films are true expressions of what he thinks, thinks and feels.
The empty room is actually very gentle. What I saw was the grief and loneliness of men and women, and the harmless violation of the rules of the world.
There are so many controversies about him, I am a little afraid to reveal my true thoughts, but I really want to say, and I have to say my true thoughts: Kim Ki-duk is a kind person. He has great hatred for many evils, which he cannot forgive. But these "evil" in his view are not a thing at all in the eyes of many people, but he feels strongly, and the hatred he shows stimulates many people who have not thought about good and evil, and have no real awareness of good and evil. And this kind of hate, in fact, comes from love, but it is often ignored. This kind of sensitivity belongs only to the kindest people, who often want to completely separate themselves from evil, but cannot do so and fall into self-blame and hatred. It is analyzed that this evil comes from the relationship between people, so he wants to live in isolation, but after all, people are social animals. He is not a saint, but a mortal who pursues purity. He cannot escape from the world and struggles desperately. He has the hope of a child who knows the cruelty of reality but is naive. He still wants to be recognized after being hurt, and rejoices for the love of others. But what the public likes is open-minded and open-minded, not such a twist and darkness, which makes him destined to be unable to live in harmony with the public. This is a vicious circle. The fringe characters in his films touched me. Cruelty goes to extremes, revealing true hatred. People who can make such a film to care for little people, and close to tearing open their own flesh and blood to express themselves bravely, are sincere, eager for approval, not hurting the audience, but eager to be redeemed and hopeful in despair. . Childhood has a huge impact on a person. But such a miserable childhood is not his alone, but many people are numb to good and evil. This ability to perceive good and evil beyond ordinary people is a gift. Too bad he died. Today's desolation confirms the cruelty of reality.
