The beautiful Kaneko (Lee Young-ae) was indicted and jailed for kidnapping a young child at the age of 20. A fairy-like beautiful woman was arrested and imprisoned at the age of 20, which attracted media coverage and received great attention.
Served 13 years in prison. Kaneko worked honestly and enthusiastically to help the people around her, and she was genuinely loved by her fellow inmates and earned a nickname, gracious gold.
As long as she spoke, no one could bear to refuse her request. After being released from prison, Kaneko is no longer kind, changes his original angel outfit, and begins to take revenge with heavy makeup. With the material and spiritual support of his fellow inmates, Kaneko begins to implement his carefully prepared revenge plan step by step.
"Gracious Gold" is the last in the "Revenge Trilogy" series directed by South Korean director Park Chan-wook, the first two being "I Want Revenge" and "Old Boy".
Among them, the only female crime film in the trilogy of "Kind Gold", so it is more delicate in the portrayal of crime, but this delicacy does not reduce the unique excitement of crime movies, but because the protagonist is a woman, it makes people feel more chilling.
At the beginning of the movie, a group of Christmas aunts talk about our heroine, saying that everyone calls her "kind gold."
"Gracious gold.
Next our heroine appeared.
Uncle Long hair is very concerned about the heroine, about 13 years ago, the uncle heard about the heroine on TV, the heroine is the murderer of the kidnapper and murderer of the boy, the heroine is in prison, come to visit the heroine in prison.
The picture gradually turns yellow, and the gold is trapped in the memory, the gold will help the prisoners in prison, the popularity is very good, the people are beautiful, and the gold is constantly repentant.
The long-headed uncle thought very thoughtfully and took tofu to visit the heroine, symbolizing the innocence.
Facing the hymn and the white tofu in the priest's hand, Jinzi just knocked the tofu to the ground with no expression. The director here with such a hymn, and Kaneko's mood and situation have a sharp contrast and contrast, she does not believe in the gods at all, religion can not save her, false care can not save her, she only needs revenge, no one can stop her.
The picture appears in the character introduction, Li Jinzi, sentenced from 1991 to 2004. The theme song of the film, "Kind Of Gold", sounded. This is a cantata by the Italian composer Vivaldi, a gorgeous violin melody, calm and passionate, which complements the film's beautiful and gorgeous video style. The music has a strong sense of rhythm, the harpsichord plays a strong beat, and the violin plays a high and melodious tone, which makes people's spirits uplifted. It becomes the soul song of the film, in which Kaneko sounds every time she makes an important move, and it is a revenge march tailored for Kaneko.
She first went to the barber shop to find someone, the subtitle explained that this person is called Jin Rongxi, the sentence was from 1998 to 2002, she cried happily after seeing Jinzi, the film in the narrative, always revolves around Jinzi, the people and things that Jinzi encounters have the necessary explanations, so the film cuts back to the former prison, Rongxi was arranged in the cell where Jinzi lived. The film cuts back to the perspective and becomes Rong Xi, who in her heart monologues that someone told her that there is a person in this prison whose face will glow.
The director's flashback in this flashback is different from the interlude method in the previous flashback, the two people are actually not the same time and space, and the reason why the two time and space are expressed in the same time and space is to not let the audience have a sense of jumping and cannot keep up with the rhythm of the film. The film cuts back to the present, Rong Xi happily held Jinzi's hand after work, the two went home together, Rong Xi has been talking to Jinzi, saying that he opened a barber shop after he was released from prison, he was fine, let Jinzi think about everything in the good, she may think that Jinzi is just an unsuitable person who just got out of prison.
Rong Xi came to Kaneko and said that she had changed, Kaneko felt kind and understanding in prison, and only then did she have the title of "Gracious Gold", Rong Xi asked Kaneko if she had started her own revenge plan, Kaneko turned around, and the narrator said that the plan had begun when she was 13 young in prison.
The violin concerto with a bitter smile of gold is a portrayal of her mood, for her, the planning of revenge is too long, the pain is too deep, and only revenge can bring the pleasure of rebirth.
In Kaneko's dream, Teacher Bai does not appear as a human, but becomes a human head and a dog body, which is the hatred from Kaneko. In Kaneko's subconscious, Sensei Bai is a hated dog that keeps her in jail for 13 years!
The next day she officially incarnated as an avenger, she went to Hongmu's house, this is the kidnapped and killed little boy Hongmu, Kaneko took the knife, cut off his finger to beg for the forgiveness of Hongmu's parents, the camera focused on Hongmu's photo, indicating that everything Hongmu did by Jinzi was actually in the eyes, she was doing this to ask for the forgiveness of Hongmu's parents and also begging for Hongmu's forgiveness.
Two ambulances came because Hongmu's mother was scared into the hospital, a detail that paved the way for the transition in the climactic part. It was confessed that all the money Kaneko earned in prison was used for the operation of snapping her fingers, and that 6 days later Kaneko came to a bakery where she would be working here, and she met a boy and had a relationship with him.
Maybe he didn't love the boy, but when the boy learned of her experience, he didn't show his scared eyes like others, and cried for her, her heart began to move, before Kaneko went to prison, she gave birth to a beautiful daughter, and now she not only wants revenge, but also tries to find where her daughter is, when she comes to Australia to see her daughter living happily, she feels very happy, and at the same time feels that she does not deserve such a beautiful daughter, the daughter wants to go back to Seoul with her, Gold also wants revenge, so it must not be agreed.
But Kaneko's daughter is young, but she is not a vegetarian, she chose to commit suicide to threaten Kaneko, after returning to Seoul, Kaneko took her daughter and boys out to play together, perhaps this is the most beautiful moment in her life, Kaneko and Teacher Bai's wife met to discuss her revenge plan, in fact, the previous murderer of the young child was not Kaneko, but Teacher Bai, but When Teacher Bai used her daughter to threaten Kaneko, Kaneko was forced to stand up for him, all of which was also known to Officer Wang, who was in charge of this case Teacher Bai's wife also met Kaneko in prison, and she was the undercover agent sent out by Kaneko.
They decided to do something to Teacher Bai, but how did they know that all this was seen and photographed by the priest, and also told Teacher Bai, Teacher Bai sent two killers to kill Jinzi and his daughter, the clever Jinzi has been struggling to resist, she took out a special pistol to kill both killers, and then she carried her daughter to Teacher Bai's residence, and saw that Teacher Bai had fainted after eating, so they joined forces to tie Teacher Bai to the house in the suburbs, and after sending away her daughter, just when Jin Zi angrily thought about Ending Teacher Bai, She found the children's pendant on Teacher Bai's mobile phone.
She knew that this was Teacher Bai's habit, proving that he had not only killed a young child before, there must be other young children, in order to verify his own ideas, Jin Zi turned Teacher Bai's home upside down, and finally found a video tape recording Teacher Bai killing 4 young children, she told Officer Wang about this matter, and gathered the families of the four young children, showed them the video tape recorded by their children before they died, and each parent saw these scenes, and their hearts were as painful as a knife cut. Gold let everyone judge whether to hand over to the police to deal with this matter or self-determination, everyone thinks to decide on their own, handed over to the police for too long, they can't wait for Gold to let The conversation here be heard by Teacher Bai in advance, let him feel the fear of death, 4 parents of the family, respectively, went to the room, each of them left their own revenge knife on Teacher Bai, and then everyone worked together to dispose of the body, and took pictures to promise that no one would ever say anything about it, in fact, when everyone learned that they were going to kill, My heart was very scared and difficult to do, but the thought of my child was killed by the beast in front of me.
At that moment, they forgot what they were afraid of, they just wanted to kill the people in front of them to release and vent their inner hatred, at the end of the film, Jin Zi took the cake to see her daughter, she buried her head in the cake, the whole film gave people a feeling of melancholy and darkness, especially the back shot directly used black and white, and there is the section that tried Teacher Bai, the portrayal of human nature is very delicate and deep.
