However, the debtor's wife wanted to exchange her body for Li Kangdao's open side.

But it was not that he didn't report it. A woman at
found him and said that it was the mother who abandoned him for 30 years.
At first, he didn't believe it, he was indifferent to this woman. The

But this woman not only was not scared off by these perverted behaviors, but also met all his requirements.

Gradually, Li Kangdao gradually became dependent on her. The character of

For the first time, he felt soft and persuaded the other party not to choose to become disabled.
However, in order to repay the debt, that person still broke his hands.

This is reality.

And Li Kangdao was horrified to discover that his "mother" was actually the mother of the deceased.
"Mom" appeared, and told her hatred and revenge plan.
turns out that she directed and acted all of this, including "Kidnapping".
She designed to lead Li Kangdao to the abandoned building, pretending to be kidnapped.
and the way of revenge is also very special, is even a bit perverted .
and Li Kangdao had already given birth to her, and she wanted to let Li Kangdao feel the immediate pain by killing herself.
Respond to the other way.
Li Kangdao knelt and begged for mercy, hoping to exchange his life for the life of his "mother".
But the "mother" did not listen, and still jumped and fell to death.
According to the general filming method of directors, the truth should not be exposed before the death of "mother", which will weaken the impact of orgasm.
However, Kim Kidd increased the tension of the mother-killing scene through this seemingly "venting" approach.
First, Li Kangdao already knew that this woman was not his mother, but he still regarded her as his mother.
Second, the mother pretended that there was a third person at the scene, and it was that person who wanted to kill Li Kangdao's mother to avenge her. The "ghost" of is her original identity, the identity of the victim's mother.

Does Li Kangdao use "money" to test humanity, or use "love" to resist the saints of the world.
has both.
Kim Kidd said: "The title "Holy Sage" does not represent everything about the film. It is a warning of the dangers of money and the lack of trust between people or the existence of violent relations between people. I especially want to emphasize. Yes, violence will break out when trust disappears. In my opinion, violence refers to terrible behaviors between individuals, as large as wars between nations."
"Money is the devil of our time." . Money has become a god who tests mankind. I made this film to accuse us of this tragedy, but nothing has changed."
philosopher Nietzsche shouted "God is dead", sociologist Foucault shouted "People are dead".
What is the current world ruled by?
Money, power. To put it simply, all power relations, politics, class, and interests are all violence. Violence like
is particularly prominent in South Korea.
And behind the rapid economic development of South Korea, the truth of blood and tears, as well as the bottom people who are struggling to survive in the gap, are concealed.
Kim Kidd wants to accuse the status quo of society:
In the face of the test of money, everyone is a demon,
and love in the face of violence is not worth mentioning.
