's "Shy Movies" column finally hit Kim Ki-deok .
As a well-known violin master in Korea and abroad, Kim Ji-deok has a lot to write about, such as "Samaria Girl", which won the Berlin Silver Bear Award, " Santo " which won the Venice Golden Lion Award, and "" which won the Silver Lion Award. " Empty Room "... There are about a dozen books, enough for me to write about the Year of the Monkey.
is the first article to start with Kim Ki-duk, starting with the "Bow" nominated by Cannes but not winning. In fact, there is no special reason. It is purely because someone in the background is asking for resources and being a favored person.
There is a fishing boat on the endless sea. The owner is an old man who is over sixty years old.
There was also a young girl on the fishing boat. She was picked up from the shore by an old man. In the ten years since, the girl has never set foot on land again.
The men who come to fish sometimes feel restless and want to molest the girl. Just when they want to get on and off, they will immediately receive a bow and arrow warning from the old man. The first warning, the second will shoot in the thigh.
Slowly everyone knows that a girl is not the "adopted daughter" of an old man, but a fiancee. He is waiting for the day when she becomes an adult, he will marry her.
The old man's wishful thinking will be successful in a month or two until a handsome college student gets on board.
The first time a teenager and a girl meet, the eyes are drawn two meters long. He becomes the first person who will fight for her, trying to take her away from the fishing boat.
The old and the young are a moral battle between possession and anti-possession. For girls, it is the choice of nurturing love or the emotional battle of love.
The bow is both the old man's weapon and a symbol of his desire for power. When he shot the last arrow at the girl's private parts, the baby's blood was stained red and white, he completed the symbolic possession, and she also got rid of his prison and slowly landed with the boy.
"The Bow" is not the first Kim Ki-duk movie I've watched. Looking at most of his movies, there are two characteristics in total.
First, the story is set in a relatively secluded space, like the room in "Empty Room", the raft cabin in "Drift Bathroom", the wooden house in " Arirang ", the prison in " Breathing "... .and the cruise ship of The Bow.
The second is that the lines are extremely restrained, the characters are not very talkative, and they are the kind of people who don't talk much. The surface is calm, but the sugar is surging in the dark, which is a test of the delicacy of the actor's performance.
It is precisely because of the single scene of Kim Ki-duk's movie and the restraint of character dialogue that the overall look and feel of "Bow" is relatively dull. But the weird thing is that once you fall into Jin Ki-duk's narrative, although you still feel indifferent, you just can't help but want to watch it.
Later, I also figured it out. The allure of this "weird" is actually satisfying some small perverted psychology in the hearts of the audience.
After all, old people and young girls are really perverted.
