Kim's favorite role in "The World of Couples" was nominated for best actress in the 56th Korea Baeksang Arts Awards in the TV series category, and in the same year, she won the best actress award in the film category with the movie "Zhi Yunxi".
"To Yoon Hee" is a same-sex film, And Kim loves to portray Yoon Hee, a middle-aged woman who struggles between traditional ideas and same-sex feelings. It is different from the role positioning of the wife in "The World of Couples", but it also has the same thing: exploring the emotional needs of middle-aged married women.
Do women at this stage still have the right and courage to love?
Yoon Hee's daughter, Shin Chun, receives a letter to her mother from Japan. Xinchun peeked at the letter and found that there was a person who had an unusual relationship with his mother. However, there was no clue in her mother's belongings, and my uncle was also tight-lipped about it, and Xinchun began to be curious.
What is your mom like in your memory?
Belongs to the kitchen
Circle around the husband and children
The strongest skill is chattering
I only know chai rice oil and salt, but I cried red eyes when watching love movies
……
We rarely explore the mother's heart, should the mother have a secret?
In September, "Ammonite", which was released in Toronto, is also a same-sex movie, in which 2 women constantly improve themselves in love from conflict to feelings.
For same-sex and same-sex films and television, our acceptance is gradually increasing, but outside the screen, the same sex is still a small part, especially lesbians.
In "To Yoon Hee", Yoon Hee tells his family after falling in love with Joon Jun, who thinks it is a disease and sends Yoon Hee to a mental hospital for treatment. After being discharged from the hospital, Yoon Hee married according to the family's arrangement and had a daughter, Xinchun.
Same-sex movies often focus on the emotional outbursts of the protagonists, and "Zhi Yunxi" does not use this conflicting way of telling, with a gentle expression to give us a bigger problem:
If, emotions are not recognized and accepted by the world, what should "I" do?
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" >, hidden emotions - dodging uselessness</h1>
Yoon Hee proposes to Chun to break up and marry a man according to the family's arrangement.
The film does not follow a linear development, and the opening chapter Yoon Hee is divorced.
Messy hair
Gray crumpled cotton coat
Yoon-hee works in the factory canteen, where she is like a floating person, mechanically cooking and handing out food boxes
For nearly 15 minutes we just saw a lifeless woman, not dressing herself up, with no expression for anything.
Yoon Hee saw her ex-husband crouching in the doorway and stopped two steps away. As they spoke, Yoon Hee turned his body sideways, avoiding the face-to-face with the man.
The dodging of her ex-husband after the divorce reflects her unhappiness in her married life.
According to the rules of the family, entering married life, like most women, became a wife and mother. But in her heart, she did not accept the marriage, and she was also resistant to this man.
There is no way to describe Yoon Hee in too many words, this is an ordinary woman. With no high education and no social circle, one can imagine her life before the divorce was only her husband and daughter.
Yoon Hee became a woman by the traditional definition.
Yoon Hee is not a woman who is at ease with tradition.
Li Yinhe's same-sex research wrote: They will still get married and have children, just because the family wants. They cannot get rid of the traditions of inheritance and family, but their inner emotions have not succumbed to traditional married life.
Before entering the house, Yoon Hee would smoke a cigarette in the shadows downstairs.
It is not too much for women to smoke, and for Yoon Hee, smoking has another meaning. When a passerby passes by, Yoon-hee turns his back on him.
Later in the film, we tell that Yoon Hee and Jun both smoke, and they smoke from the moment they realize that they exchange emotions.
Smoke is not just a habit, but a continuation of each other's entanglement. I couldn't help but start to wonder what kind of treatment Yoon-hee had undergone while in a psychiatric hospital that forced her to succumb to the world outside and pretend to be a passerby.
New Year asked dad why he divorced in the first place, and dad said: Can't get close, your mother always gives me a feeling of loneliness.
Kim loves to interpret Yoon-hee's loneliness delicately.
When she sees the speeding train, stop, you will see a shallow bulge between Kim's favorite eyebrows, as if to cry but suddenly hold back.
When Yoon Hee sees the letter from Japan, the camera gives Kim a frontal shot from back to front.
She stood with the letter for a long time, and a Sichuan character formed between her brows, which faded rapidly, only for a moment. Snapping, the streetlights go out, hiding Yoon-hee and the letter in the darkness—foreshadowing an emotion that cannot be talked about.
The director uses the camera to spread out a woman's hidden tolerance for emotions.
Yoon Hee is always alone in the dim background, and in the long shot, Yoon Hee is placed in it, which is smaller and easier to ignore. At this time, the director mostly presents it in the back and silhouette, using the camera to express the emotion of avoidance.
Kim loves the meticulous portrayal of Yoon Hee's loneliness in the camera, with few lines, few expressions, and few scene changes, but let us know that this woman is unhappy.
There is no use in escaping.
The daughter Xinchun wants to explore her mother's past, but she has no way of knowing. She said she was going to take a long trip with her mother to Japan.
Yoon Hee on a trip to Japan shows the elegance of a 40-year-old woman.
She went to the jewelry store alone and wore earrings in front of the mirror. New Year saw her mother's new coat and praised it as beautiful, she said "you should wear clothes of this color, young" Facing her daughter, Yoon Hee smiled.
She was about to take the new year lighter and lit a cigarette in front of her daughter.
Mother and daughter go to soak in three warmth, and New Year asks her mother if she has been in love before, and Yoon Hee says that she has:
"When I get close to her, I can smell a good smell."
Compared with Yoon Hee, who is hiding in the dark, Yoon Hee at this time begins to open himself little by little: I am your mother, and I am also Yoon Hee.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > second, two-line stories show the multiple meanings of love</h1>
In addition to the repressed emotions in the main line, there is also a story line about the love of relatives.
After guessing that her mother was hiding a story, she made a trip to Japan. The place she found on the address was pure home. Chun lives with her aunt, and Chun Chun tells her aunt that she is Yoon Hee's daughter and wants to meet Chun.
Xinchun lied that she and her friends had come to travel, and when friends released pigeons in the middle, she dressed up pitifully in front of Chun and asked Chun to invite her to dinner.
New Year quietly arranges for Yoon Hee and Chun to meet for the first time after many years.
2 women who are nearly 40 years old, once loved ones unexpectedly. No hugs, no holding hands, just looking at each other, worth a thousand words.
New Year is the promoter in Yoon Hee's world, as her name suggests: Spring of Hope. Her mother took her to a snowy and snowy Japan, and she took her mother out of the shadows and into the sunshine.
The day after arriving in Japan, Yoon Hee got up early in the morning and sneaked to the door of Chun's house. When he returned to the hotel, Xinchun asked his mother where you had gone, and Yoon Hee said to hang around casually.
In my opinion, New Year has guessed the unusual story of her mother, but she chose not to say broken, kind and lovely girl.
Another family line is Chun's aunt, and the promotion of the whole movie seems to be Yoon Hee and Chun, but it is actually the aunt of Xinchun and Chun.
The aunt saw the letter on the pure desk, wrote the address and sealed the envelope, but did not send it. The old lady quietly took the letter and secretly sent it away.
It was an interesting scene, and she hesitated many times in front of the mailbox.
The old lady passed the mailbox, turned back, stayed in front of the mailbox for 2 seconds, and lost the letter. After taking a few steps, she stopped again, trying to turn back (her body had been twisted 5 degrees) and finally slowly left.
Afterwards, Chun found that the letter was missing and asked the aunt, and the old lady pretended to be stupid, "I haven't seen it." ”
Some say that love heals people.
In "To Yoon Hee", healing Yoon Hee and pure love are powerful pushes and well-meaning silences of relatives.
Xinchun actively searches for answers, and the appropriate silence allows Yoon-hee to reveal himself to his daughter step by step, starting with smoking, starting with acknowledging that he has a lover.
The silence of the aunt is also a silent comfort for Chun.
After his father's funeral, Chun, his aunt, and cousin go home together, and on the way, the cousin asks Chun why he has not been married, and he actively wants to introduce chun to the object, and puts Chun into trouble.
My aunt didn't say a word about it. When Chun returned home in the evening, her aunt stood at the door of her house and opened her hands to Chun.
In the picture, you can see that Chun and her aunt are not used to physical contact, and they are awkward about hugging them, and the aunt says, "Hurry up, or I'm embarrassed." ”
Chun never spoke of her mother to the outside world, and for her it was a concealment of her birth, and she could not affirm herself because of concealment. Why she came, why she lived, even when she met the loved one, could not say.
There was nowhere to pour out, and the silence turned into a pure wound.
The aunt is a warm and kind old lady, she cares about Chun, but does not urgently ask for answers, she uses hugs to tell Chun about her love and understanding for her. She helped Chun send out the written letter, which opened an exit for her.
Love can heal, and good love is the medicine to heal wounds.
Love allows travelers to find their way home, and home is a place to let go of the strong of pretense and rest assured of weakness. Family is another kind of love, reassuring enough to have the courage to go again.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >3, ending</h1>
"To Yoon Hee" shows a process of seeking, healing.
Yoon Hee and Chun walk on the snowy streets, the picture fades out, and only creaky footsteps are heard.
Yoon Hee returned to South Korea to open her own restaurant, and she wrote back to Chun, saying, "I will slowly tell our story to the new year." ”
The ending seems to be 2 people and each other, but the director creates a happy ending. It seemed that the sound of footsteps in the snow was a hint that the two were forever together.
Yoon Hee said in the reply letter
"On the day of the wedding, I thought the person holding hands was you... I still dream of having you..."
"To Yoon Hee" has the constant emotions of Yoon Hee and Pure Renunciation, there is a new spring of love, there is a second spring of ex-husband remarriage... The film weakens the time of love.
It's not a patent for young people, and it doesn't have time.
This era is too hurried and utilitarian, saying that love is a waste of time. In fact, occasionally stop to watch such a movie, in the narration to explore the inner question: what is life?
One of the interviewees in Li Yinhe's book said: I only found love after I retired at the age of 60, and I felt that I was alive again.
What is love for a woman?
Do you caress each other's bodies, the lingering kisses, or do you never leave in my heart?
Is it the desire of the body, or the love of the whole time?
"Hey, how are you? I've always wanted to greet you like this. ”
