Douban 8.9 points! "The Gift of Room Seven": I am not afraid of the dark hope even though I am in purgatory

In recent years, Korean films have taken a slant approach and dare to write about the evil of human nature.

, like the once-popular movies "The Furnace", "Suyuan", "Earthworm", "Carnival" , etc., have all "pierced" into the softest place in people's hearts. Most of these films are adapted from real stories. It is not so much a story as a case. To be precise, most of these films are adapted from a case.

People always say: "Art comes from life and even higher than life" , but in fact, there are some ugly faces and unimaginable bad thoughts in this world that even a screenwriter full of imaginative writing experience would describe Not out.

Therefore, when some of the films were released, this case caused the South Korean people's feelings and even took to the streets, which directly promoted the relevant legislative reforms in South Korea.

And today we will talk about one of these movies, "The Gift of Room 7" , which was released in 2013.

The gift of room seven


has different opinions on different audiences of this movie, after all, "a thousand readers have a thousand Hamlet" .

An audience named "Mashen" commented on : "I didn't cry when watching such a heart-wrenching movie. There may be really no movies that can make me cry. If you want to detoxify with tears, you can try it. Ten There are eight or nine people crying. There is no lack of deliberateness in the movie, but the amount of pepper mustard is too much, and it is difficult to fail. If China can shoot this kind of lethal tear gas, the box office will be one billion."

An audience named "Mr. Beta" commented on : "The facts we witnessed are often just the ice floating above the water, the huge facts under the iceberg, and even more pervasive listening.


The life stage we face directly may be just a butterfly. Phantoms, the stories behind the curtain, are more shocking to the world." The


movie started with a conversation between the grown-up Ge Sowon (abbreviated as Dayuan) played by Park Shin Hye and a man who resembles a warden.

Scene 1:

This man gave Dayuan a box-like object wrapped in a yellow silk scarf.

and Dayuan laughed after opening the package, because there was a "sensitive case file" in it. The man said: "This thing is hard to get." And invited her to let "they" come to the prison to play freely. As for who they are, they didn't directly say who they are. This is also foreshadowing the following. However, Dayuan suddenly said, "Thank you Dad." It turned out that the two are father and daughter.

Scene 2: After the

chat is over, Dayuan walks out the door. She is behind the iron fence (here is the frame composition). As expected, the iron fence is the prison door.


After going out, Dayuan saw a yellow balloon floating over the prison, but it was suddenly hooked by a wire, and then the movie name appeared (note the composition here. The balloon divides the space of the screen into 2:8, similar to the golden section. Proportion is what people think is the best-looking).

So Dayuan embarked on a slow journey to find "them".

Scene 3:

A colorful lollipop and a rattle are first put together and then slowly separated to show Dayuan’s face, while Dayuan’s face is sitting opposite, a man with a muttering mouth and a man The male assistant looked like a fortune-telling great immortal. As expected, he was the "Tong Daxian", but this great immortal seemed to be inaccurate, and he couldn't guess what Dayuan thought at all. Instead, Dayuan guessed the name of Daxian's daughter who broke into the room during the fortune-telling process.

Scene 4:

A man in a black suit gave a speech on the podium "Speaking Amen". As expected, he was a priest. Among the many believers sitting in the audience, there was a "Daxian" who changed his daily clothes. "With one of his brothers (because he holds hands, it is inferred that they are brothers). As the priest closed his eyes and called to God, a light illuminates his face. It turned out that it was the other two men who opened the door, and it was Dayuan who followed him. I missed one. When the priest was praying, another man was on the other side of the stage to help him with the piano.Play.

Looking at the performance of the priest man, you know that these men are the "they" Dayuan is looking for: Daxian, male assistant, priest, piano man, and an older man.


Scene 5:

In the courtroom, Dayuan sits in the position of the defender's lawyer, and "they" sits in the audience. With the development of the movie, it can be heard that this is a "child kidnapping and rape case". The defendant is Li Jiulong, and the victim is a minor Cui Zhiying . The prosecutor said that the evidence was solid, while Li Jiulong's defense lawyer, Da Yuan, believed that the case should be retrial, and she claimed that she was on the scene at the time.

So, the whole story of the truth reappeared in front of the audience.

Briefly, Li Longjiu is a "mentally disabled person" with an IQ of only 6 years old, but he loves his daughter very much. The

daughter took a fancy to the yellow schoolbag, so he saved his salary to buy it, but before the salary was paid "tomorrow", the salary was bought by the family. Because of Li Longjiu's "stupid behavior": touching his girl's face to praise her for her beauty , This made the girl's father mistakenly believe that Li Longjiu was a pervert, so he hit him immediately.

However, 6-year-old children are gender-neutral. Li Jiulong only wanted the little girl to put down the schoolbag and give it to his daughter. When Li Jiulong met Yisheng’s second female teacher for the first time, Li Jiulong also praised it. The teacher is beautiful, so he praised the girl for being beautiful is just a polite act. The little girl became a victim after not thinking about it.

One day later, Li Longjiu, who was in charge of parking in the parking lot, paid his salary and was counting money. The little girl came to him and signaled to take him to buy school bags. The two left the crowd and went to a remote place like a vegetable market. The place. In a blink of an eye, the little girl was lying on the ground. Li Jiulong’s bizarre behavior (in fact, artificial respiration, and taking off the girl’s pants to help blood circulation) was seen by passers-by. Passers-by were scared away when they saw that he did not react like normal people. Up.

As a result, Li Jiulong was arrested. The media reported: "This is a deliberate retaliation against the chief of the police, a provocation against the authority of the police." (because Li Jiulong was beaten by the girl's father, the chief of the police.) Some media really should Reflect on how many people will be harmed indirectly by disregarding the truthfulness of news.


However, when the prisoner identified the scene and restored the scene, the policeman next to Li Jiulong said: "Take off your pants to see your daughter." This is obviously the chief's use of power to let his subordinates lure Li Jiulong to do so. of.



So Li Jiulong was convicted and went to jail.

Li Jiulong's life in prison needless to say, he must have been beaten and beaten by the warden (Dayuan’s father, it’s not hard to guess that Dayuan is Li Jiulong’s daughter Yisheng when he grows up) Beating, being beaten by inmates (the "they" Dayuan found) was all because of his unreasonable charges and his "IQ" that he would not explain.


The prison was mixed with fish and dragons. A coincidence, Li Jiulong saved the boss of the "them", and later the father of the priest, the priest promised to give Li Jiulong a "present." Therefore, he who missed his daughter wanted a daughter. Make a gift.

And the supernatural priest man actually "hidden" Li Jiulong's daughter into the prison. It is easy to get in and get out. The father and daughter are not willing to be separated, so this little girl, Yisheng, became the prison room No. 7 The "cute". (so the movie is called "The Gift of Room No. 7")


, but a little girl lived in prison. This change was discovered by the warden who was good at observing (Dayuan's father), so the warden was so angry "You killed someone else's daughter, but want to see your own daughter?" beat Li Jiulong and punished him severely. In fact, it can be seen that the warden is a kind-hearted person who hates evil and hates him.

Once again by chance, Li Jiulong saved the prison despite the dangerWith a long life, the warden immediately recognized that Li Jiulong was a kind-hearted person, and in subsequent observations, the warden strengthened his intuition: Li Jiulong would not be an abductor, he loved his daughter Yi. Win. After a long time with

, the cellmates and warden both believed that Li Jiulong was wronged and even wanted to investigate. Let's see the results afterwards.


(This picture has profound meaning: even in prison, you can shine with stars, and you can have the opportunity to reform.)

Actually, this show reflects a lot of "subtle" principles in the details, which will be ignored if you are not paying attention. . The first teacher of

Yisheng didn't care about her and his attitude was not good. It was the first time that Yisheng saw her new classmates. The first teacher just pressed down her head to make Yisheng bow to greet the students, and didn't care about Yisheng's mental state. But the second teacher of Yisheng said when he first met Yisheng: "Teacher hopes you can talk to the teacher." The two different educational concepts are in sharp contrast, and you can tell which one is better.


After knowing that his daughter died in an accident and not murdered by Li Jiulong, the police chief (the father of the victim) still chose to frame Li Jiulong. Even though Li Jiulong was a mentally disabled person, he did not have the slightest sympathy. In contrast to his behavior, a policeman in the film said such a sentence: "I am a policeman, and the people's crutches."


and the police chief who deliberately murdered and committed crimes but caring and compassionate The criminals have also become a strong contrast, but many people only believe the lies of the director but do not believe the truth of the criminals, just because of their different status and status, because their past history is one "black" and one "white."




Moreover, the tone of this movie also gives emotional meaning. Bright yellow balloons, bright yellow packages, and bright yellow schoolbags all symbolize hope. Although we are in purgatory, we are not afraid of dark hope. Someone said: "This film is too dark, and it writes people's hearts too badly."

But isn't it like this in real life? There are good people and bad people everywhere, but some people choose not to recognize the darkness, while others choose to "even in the dark in the gutter, look at the stars for light." This is your different attitude towards life.




Although the plot of the movie may be logically imprecise, whether it is the plot, lines, or theme, it is worth everyone to see, and don’t miss the details, maybe you can find more than me.
