Seeing this movie, I think the first thing I noticed is mostly Liu Yaren. Young, handsome, and with the aura of the youngest Winner of the Green Dragon Award, he is naturally particularly eye-catching. And my association with him is still many years ago in "Young Junde", although the plot has been blurred, but I still vaguely remember the funny Island Jingde. But what really made my eyes shine was the "Si Mourning" that made him win the Green Dragon Award, interpreting the love and killing of the prince and his father into three points, and then Li Cangdong's "Burning", "The Day of National Bankruptcy", "Alive", I think the backbone of the new generation of the Korean film industry is none other than him.
Although there is also the 2020 rollover work "Alive" in front, this "Silent" cannot be denied, Liu Yaren single-handedly broke through the siege, and he also won the Best Actor of the Qinglong Award for the second time.
The story tells that Chang Fu and Tae-jin (Liu Yaren) ostensibly sell vegetables for a living, but in fact the two have another job, that is, to provide a killing place for the underworld organization and dispose of the corpse, one day as usual, the two people who are disposing of the corpse are coerced by the organization's Jin Room Chief (Lin Jiangcheng) to take over a kidnapped 11-year-old girl, Chu Hee, and the peaceful life of the two is immediately broken, and things begin to develop in a direction beyond their control...
Sometimes silence is better than sound, and stories construct everyday life with silence, bring thought with silence, and finally give despair with silence. The humble Tairen is like the classic words that Liu Jianming said to Chen Yongren on the rooftop in "Infernal Affairs": I didn't have a choice before, and now I want to be a good person.
But Heaven didn't give him that chance.
Chang-bok, Tae-jin and Chu-hee, the three who are tamed by cruel social rules and false emotions, think they can get rid of the shackles, but they can only be called to themselves without words. Chang-bok loses his life by taking something he shouldn't have, Tae-jin wears a suit that doesn't belong to him and is mercilessly ridiculed, and Chu-hee breaks free from the gangster's shackles and can only bow to his parents with deep meaning.
They expect to break free from the shackles, but they can only succumb helplessly, as if they are doomed, and all this happens quietly.
Their dissatisfaction, can not be called, unwilling, shouted not far, the end, can only digest themselves. In the whole process, either like Changfu, he lost his thoughts and lost his dignity; or he became like Chu Hee and put on a mask to live for a lifetime.
As for Tae-jin, he chose to resist. They adapt to the environment in their own way, and crime may not be terrible in comparison, because they fear the suffocation that the environment gives.
Therefore, the scattered blood stains blossom, the messy bedroom has order, the iron heart will have a kind heart, the calm and sober person is the most ruthless, and the silent person is the most difficult to resist.
But I also don't want to glorify Tae-in's criminal acts, and while I can understand them emotionally, I can't understand them.
Many times, good and evil are not predestined, they are randomly scattered in the world. And most of us who support this world are not also such beings? Scattered somewhere, but pushed forward by some force, perhaps there were companions on the way to warm up, but in the end they will embark on their own lonely road, silent, no one will notice those silent traces, those who have come and worked hard to live...
Dive into the night with the wind, and the moisturizer is silent.
