Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring (2003)★ 8.3/10

The small temple in the lake is picturesque

Kim Ki-duk! God of literature and art! So this movie is talking about: 1. Human nature is evil at the beginning; 2. Killing when young, killing in middle age; 3. When you abandon a child, you will also be abandoned by life; It is cryptic to express that the two children have no maternal love and lack of humanity since they were young, which is similar to the theme expressed by Pieta). The charm of Kim Ki-duk’s movies: Every movie with 1 gold is about dead people; every movie with 2 gold is bound to be full of small animals; the movie with 3 gold can always feel an ancient and quiet atmosphere; the composition of the shots in 4 gold movies is very beautiful , There is a kind of golden artistic conception. 5. The violent aesthetics that Jin wants to express is very fascinating; 6. Jin loves to shoot sex and emotions (I like to watch it very much) 7. Give all the staff great respect, and all films made with heart are worthy of respect. (Benchmarking the domestic film market)

I can totally feel Buddhism in the work.

ultimate beauty

A pesar de transcurrir toda en un mismo lugar (aunque en distintos tiempos) es una de esas películas que son un pequeño viaje relajante, y que logra sostenerse por su propio encanto, incluso sin necesidad de contar con un conflicto central.
La película logra transmitir un clima de paz y crecimiento totalmente despojado del ajetreo y la sobrecarga de estímulos del mundo materialista de la ciudad al que estamos acostumbrados, siguiendo una aproximación ligada a la filosofía budista y donde hasta su final remite a esta creencia. Todo coronado con una casa flotando en medio del lago entre las montañas que le permite al director adornar el relato con unos planos bellísimos.


Es lo primero que veo de Kim Ki-duk, y sin dudas veré (al menos) 3-Iron.
