movie "The Gift in Room 7" is a comedy film directed by South Korean director Lee Hwan-kyeong and starring Yoo Seung-long, Ge So-won, Jeong Jin-young, and Park Shin-hye.
The film was released in South Korea in 2013 and became the No. 1 box office of Korean movies that year. Douban scored 8.9 points. Although the score is not particularly high, everyone who has watched the movie was moved by the mentally retarded father's love for his daughter wholeheartedly. I watched the whole movie crying. The film
continues the tear-gas-like expression of Korean movies. The incident occurred mainly in Korean prisons, so some people think that the film has many unrealistic aspects, but the ending of the story is very realistic. The film not only shows the affection between father and daughter, but also the friendship between inmates. The contrast between these emotions and the dark side of reality, such as judicial injustice, the media following the trend, and the abuse of power, serves as a stark irony for .
One. Story: A Sailor Moon schoolbag changed the fate of father and daughter. The
film begins with a flashback technique. When the daughter grows up, she becomes a lawyer and stands in court to defend her father's wrongful conviction, thus kicking off the story.
's father, Li Longjiu, is an intellectually disabled person with an IQ of only 6 years old. He and his daughter Yisheng depend on each other. My daughter liked the Sailor Moon-themed schoolbag. When she wanted to wait until her father paid her salary, she only sold one schoolbag. My father saw a little girl on the street carrying a beautiful girl schoolbag. The little girl told Li Yongjiu that she knew where this schoolbag was sold. So Li Yongjiu asked the little girl to take him to the place to buy schoolbags. The little girl met him while walking on the road. He died unexpectedly.
There was only Li Longjiu at the scene. When he was helping the little girl, he was mistaken for molesting the little girl. After the police came to the scene, they were eager to solve the case and lured Li Longjiu to confess the crime. He was taken into prison as a murderer.
The prison where Li Longjiu lives is Room 7, which houses several other murderous prisoners. However, due to Li Longjiu's kindness, and his daughter Yesheng came to this prison, bringing warmth to this indifferent prison. Li Longjiu's child-like pure heart gradually moved these "bad guys", and they even took the risk of taking Yisheng into the cell to meet his father. In the dark and cold prison, room 7 is full of sunlight.
Two. The love and kindness in human nature finally waited for the late justice.
A movie not only reflects reality, but also adds artistic elements. The protagonist in the film is a small person at the bottom of society, just like you, me, and him in real life, but the director adds another layer of identity "mental retardation" to him. He is stupid and slower than ordinary people, and he looks more abnormal than normal people, but he clearly has more things than normal people.
- love
The famous French poet Penchal said: To love others and be loved by others, this is everything, this is the law of the universe. We exist for love. People with love and comfort are not afraid of anything, anyone.
After Li Longjiu was put in prison, the inmates in room 7 learned that he was wronged, and in order to prove his innocence, he taught Li Longjiu a testimony of innocence that he would defend himself. So at this moment, the director gave Li Longjiu a chance to vindicate.
But because the girl's father was the police chief , he threatened that if Lee Yong-Koo pleaded not guilty, Ye Sheng would end up just like his daughter. The lawyer told Li Longjiu that Yisheng could live only if he died. Although Li Longjiu was mentally retarded, in order to protect his daughter from harm, he admitted in court that he killed the little girl. Although at the last moment when he parted with his daughter, Li Longjiu regretted, he shouted through the big iron gate of the prison: Help me...
I think he was not afraid of death at this moment, but he was afraid that he would see you again after he died. Without his beloved daughter, he also worried that no one would take care of his young daughter. The scene between Yisheng and his father was also the climax of the movie, which earned people's tears. Even though a father is mentally retarded, he can still be like ordinary people, even better than ordinary people's love for their daughter.
- Kindness
The famous scholar Zhou Guoping said: People, you must have a kind heart, a rich heart, and a noble soul, so that you are worthy of the title of others, and you live as a real person in the world.
Li Longjiu saw the little girl in an accident and fell on the ground. He wanted to use his only first aid knowledge to rescue the little girl, but was mistaken by others that he cruelly killed the little girl.
After Li Longjiu was in prison, he was placed in room 7. The security chief and the other prisoners in room 7 heard his charge and mistakenly believed that he was a scumbag, so they saw Li Longjiu's first face and beat him up. By coincidence, Li Longjiu rescued the boss and security chief of the cell with him regardless of his own safety.
Li Longjiu's kindness impressed not only the vicious prisoners, but also the indifferent and cruel security chief. Not only did they find a way to secretly send Ye Sheng, who missed his father, to prison for father and daughter to meet again, and step by step guided Li Longjiu to recall the scene of the little girl's accident at that time, and thus determine the cause of her death. Before Li Longjiu was executed, everyone in the prison even wanted to help him escape.
These criminals who are found guilty are in sharp contrast and irony with the public security chiefs who abuse their powers and the media people who do not know the truth and report at will. The boundary between the so-called bad guys and the so-called good guys has been reversed by . Li Longjiu, a 6-year-old with an IQ, used actions to tell the audience time and time again that even in a difficult situation, he must have a kind heart.
- Late justice:
After his father was executed, Yisheng was adopted by the security chief who lost his only child and became a lawyer when he grew up. She found her father’s inmates in the prison. Those people had been released to freedom when they were found by Yisheng. Although they had their own lives, they were still willing to help Yisheng testify in court. Through their efforts, the judge finally pronounced Li Jiulong innocent in the moot court.
U.S. Justice Heunett's famous saying: Justice will never be absent, but will only be late. What it expresses is that although justice lasts forever, for everyone in reality, "late justice" is by no means true justice. Even though he was acquitted, there is no such person as Li Longgu in the world, and he will never hear Yesheng calling his father again.
Although people cannot be resurrected from the dead, the sentence was over ten years late, but in the end the daughter's efforts were not in vain and she recovered justice for her father. The late justice also made the film's tragedy less intense, giving people spiritual comfort. Through the efforts of Yisheng, the director told us that as long as we bravely strive to pursue it, justice may be late, but it will never be absent. Therefore, in life, we must maintain a positive and optimistic attitude, and will not compromise easily in the face of adversity.
ending
The same scene appears at the beginning and the end of the movie. My daughter looked at the sky with an air floating, the ball burst into tears and shouted: Dad, I love you. In the film, Lee Long-Koo will be executed. In order to help him, the prisoners let Lee Long-Koo and Yi Sheng get on a hot air balloon in an attempt to escape from prison. But because the rope of the balloon was entangled by the fence, they failed to escape.
At this moment, hot air balloons are dreams, fences are reality, and ropes are the shackles that link dreams and reality. This also metaphors the moment when our dream is fettered by reality, how should we choose? Is it like a silly father and a good daughter, quietly enjoying this hard-won and precious moment of stay, feeling the warmth of this moment, or choosing to struggle hard, even if it is futile, but also to use the last bit of energy to get what you want miss you. I think no matter which choice you choose, you just need to live up to your own will.
