When the act rises to the level of ritual, the divine is born. This is what I saw when I read Kailash.
"Why did my family build a house and kill people", "My brother's unfulfilled wish until his death must be fulfilled for my brother", "I am a butcher, and I have killed a lot of yaks"... These unspeakable thoughts are entangled in everyone's sorrows, entangled too deeply, and if there is a way to reach inner peace, how to go is not too much.

The road is not all used to walk, you can also kneel, every time you crawl, the world behind you is inch by inch, the flesh is born in a monotonous, repetitive wrestling fatigue, completing artistic creation, bloated worldly emotions layer by layer, ignorance is also layer by layer, although ignorance or ignorance, but can be pure as a newborn baby - the first sight of life, not only love. This is chaos's march toward clarity, or regression; magic without tricks; it's stepping on a ladder to the clouds.

Watching "Kindness to gold," I thought of Kailash and thought of "no special way, no different return" – I wanted to find an antonym that was as beautiful as "special way to return", but I couldn't find it.
Rituals create divinity, different rituals, some go to heaven, some go to hell.
"Kind Of Gold" is as eerie and gloomy as Park Chan-wook's other film, "Stoker", like a pool of thick and silky chocolate, but there is a bloody smell in the mouth.

Director Park Chan-wook focuses on shaping the psychology of the characters at low cost, a small, one-person world, supplemented by gorgeous colors and music, to achieve the piercing beauty of the cone, the undercurrent of beauty in the dark world, the beauty in the cold, the beauty in violence, the beauty in the silent distortion; beauty, but also the sublimation of darkness - going to hell is also like going to heaven, stunned, extra cruel.

Jin Zi was unjustly imprisoned, and 13 years of prison life was 13 years of black calculations, buying people's hearts - even the kidneys were sent out... A real jailer, not necessarily brutal, can be beautiful, very kind, very "angelic".
After her release from prison, her favored fellow inmates paved the way for her revenge.
The film uses almost half the length of the film to render the killing, not to kill many people, only to kill one person, the pace is slow to suffocate, there is a kind of lingering throbbing - the gorgeous color curtain ends, the black and white world opens, more like a kind of closure, like a labyrinth, imprisoning the murderer of four children, imprisoning the parents who are ready to hand blade the murderer, imprisoning the "angel" gold that captures the murderer and carries out the beheading, imprisoning the bitter love and hate...
Black and white are more tense than color, and the sense of ritual can always sublimate the blandness and reverse the black and white, so that the passion for revenge rises to reason and becomes an art to be admired, and killing is no longer killing, but understanding the true meaning of "death".
Many viewers praised "cool", but this enmity was not happy at all.
The beautiful face of angel gold is hidden in the darkness, often radiating the brilliance of God. This punishment, guided by her, embodies the will of God—the policeman has been deposed for inaction, and she has also found an outlet for her original sin impulses and led herself to immortality.
Compared with the brevity and fragility of love and hate, compared with the long and bitter loneliness of killing, the pain of 13 years of imprisonment is just like a finger, and the darkness will live forever and cannot be looked back.
"Angels" will judge themselves in their divinity.
