As a so-called "whole repression" movie, the opening is the gray and dark tone commonly used in Korean reality movies, the male protagonist played by Ma Dong-seok (in this film, Ma Dong-seok's physique is obviously not as strong as in the films such as the biography of the evil man, Busan Trip, but closer to the role), silently and cruelly killed the wife and her lover who are stealing love, the process is not short, but there is no miserable scream, some are just painful looks and muffled hums, obviously deliberately suppressing the atmosphere.
Six years after the plot, Dong Seok, who is on the run in blood (often absent from the Korean film police), takes his son Long Hao (Ando Kyu) to settle down in a small town to make a living by opening a dog farm, and dong seok explains to his son that the cause of his wife's death is a car accident. Long Hao is a kind and sensible child, although he is not close to his father, he is still grateful to his father, who is good at painting and paints a painting every year on his father's birthday as a gift. He was silent and shy, and obeyed his father's words and did not resist being bullied at school. Seeing that life is uneventful, the girl Ji-so transfers from Seoul to a small town, and Ji-soo's (Kim so-hyun) father abandons his mother and daughter and his new girlfriend to immigrate to Canada, and his mother drinks all day. Similar family situations make Ji Soo and Long Hao close friends (the two actors are indeed the same age, both were born in the millennium), and Long Hao even dared to stand up when Ji Soo was harassed by bad teenagers.
There is a sentence in "The Kite Chaser", "The old past will not be buried, the past will climb up on its own", the crime can not be hidden after all, Zhixiu accidentally discovered that Long Hao's father is Dong Xi, who was the serial murderer who almost killed himself that year. Still a little girl, Ji-soo accidentally witnesses Dong-seok who is committing murder, and is almost exterminated after being abducted (in fact, the plot here is not very reasonable, dong-seok with a hood does not have to go through with a little girl who has been frightened of six gods and no master, maybe it is killing red eyes, of course, this is not the focus of too much discussion), which also echoes what Zhixiu said when he talked to his father who was about to immigrate, "experiencing such a thing". Zhixiu quietly confirmed his suspicions through the unsuspecting Long Hao, and fell into the fear brought about by the past.
In the more excessive bullying of the bad boys, Long Hao used the knife of the bad boy to cut the other party with the knife of the bad boy in order to protect ZhiXiu, in Zhixiu's eyes, Long Hao's violent walk brought the haze of past experience, and she fled in a panic in the night. After that, Long Hao's teacher brought the parents of the injured teenager to dong xi, and when dong xi learned of his son's hurtful behavior and held the blade again, the inner impulse could hardly be suppressed (in fact, the previous details were reflected, Dong Xi always wore headphones when working to suppress his hallucinations). Dong Seok warns Long Hao not to come back with Ji Soo anymore and drives to Ji Soo's house, but the terrified Ji Soo is found to be abnormal by Dong Seok, he recalls the little girl who failed to kill him, and the memory finally makes Dong Seok's perverted desire in his heart erupt, and after torturing and killing a dog he has raised, he slaughters a couple by the river with an axe. And here from Zhixiu learned of his father's abnormality, Long Hao finally found his father's killer demon identity, close to collapse he found Zhixiu, Zhixiu took him in (really kind), In his sleep Long Hao has been repeating sorry, the image of his father who was cold but at least responsible in the past and the image of the killer demon tore at him and made him doubt himself.
Long Hao, who had not been in school for a few days, found a teacher who had always cared about encouraging her and asked her: "Will the children of bad people be good people?" The unknown teacher replied, "Blood doesn't lie." At this time, Long Hao's self-perception has been completely subverted, and after returning home, Dong Xi asked Dong Xi the truth about the death of the dog and the death of his mother, Dong Xi did not respond with a cold face, but as far as Long Hao was concerned, he had already got the answer, even if the answer was extremely cruel. At night, Long Hao frantically scratched his wrists and chest until blood oozed out, as if he wanted to confirm what kind of soul lived in his body.
Long Hao returned to school, almost frantically fighting with the bad boy, escaping from the school and then came to Dong Xi's car, took the painting he gave to his father out of the car, when Long Hao returned to school, almost frantically fought with the bad boy, escaped from the school and then came to the side of Dong Xi's car, took the painting he gave to his father out of the car, stepped on the soles of his feet in front of Dong Xi, silently and fiercely showed his break with the murderous demon father. Late at night, Long Hao picked up the knife and slowly walked to the door of Dong Xi, standing behind the door for a long time and finally choosing to leave, while on the other side, Dong Xi also stood opposite. This scene seems to symbolize the opposition between the two, but the shadows of the two overlap on the door, suggesting the influence of the father on the son, and this antagonistic position is subtle and fragile, once the door is opened, Long Hao becomes Dong Xi. That night, the father and son each hallucinated, Long Hao watched himself in the mirror gradually turn into dark red blood, symbolizing the original kindness and shyness of his unacceptable "bad guy", the boy cut his wrist with a knife and fell in front of the mirror; Dong Xi saw his wife who was killed by himself again, his roar was mixed with repentance and cursing, obviously he had been tortured, and finally he stabbed an iron chopstick into his right ear in the hallucination.
The teacher and Ji-so come to Long Hao's house together, Ji-soo hides outside the dog farm to peep, but the teacher is hostile to dong-seok and drives away (presumably reminding him of his wife), the teacher has no choice but to leave, and then Long Hao stops the teacher on the road. Long Hao finally went to the other extreme, in the teacher's concerned inquiry he swung his knife to cut the teacher's throat, beastly sucking the teacher's blood, after being hugged by Zhixiu who rushed to the scene, repeating "blood does not lie", in order to cut off the connection with the killer's father, but also in order to "drink the blood of a good person to become a good person", he chose this way that can no longer be said to be naïve, but must be said crazy and ignorant, in fact, here also confirms the impact of Dong Xi's madness on Long Hao from the side.
Ji-so pulls Long Hao away (fortunately, the teacher was sent to the hospital later), and Dong Seok finally catches them in the woods, furious that Dong Dong Seok wants to strangle Ji Soo, Long Hao picks up the knife (yes, or the knife) and inserts it into Dong Seok's body, repeating with tears: "Did Mom kill Him as well?" Dong Xi still did not answer, but slightly pulled the corner of his mouth, and inserted the knife deeper: "To insert it deeper, boy", as if relieved, he fell next to Long Hao, long Hao's cry, snowflakes fell, and his mother, the favorite is the snow day.
At the end of the film, in the flurry of snowflakes, Long Hao carried Zhixiu on his back, climbed up the mountain, and waddled away in the camera.
