Like most Korean ethical films, Daughter, a film with clean pictures and stories, has a cruel social reality, but Daughter has a lot of warmth that Korean realistic themes do not have.

harsh reality

"Daughter" is a work directed and performed by Ku (PS: Yes, that's right, it's the wife of Ann Jae-hyun, the little suckling dog). The protagonist is the shirt of mother and daughter, and Ku plays the adult shirt in the audition.

Mothers have taken good care of their daughters since childhood, but this care has reached a morbid level. She wants her daughter to do whatever she wants, not to let her eat marshmallows, not to let her go out to eat, or even to hold chopsticks with her left hand.

If the daughter doesn't say what she wants, the mother will be furious, from abusive to hands-on. She never cares about her daughter's feelings and always imposes her ideas on her daughter.

Once, my daughter secretly went out to work behind her back to earn money and wanted to buy a new schoolbag. As a result, her mother thought she stole it, so she cut her new schoolbag into pieces with a knife. The daughter stopped her, and the mother was emotional and scratched her daughter's face, and her blood flowed.

My daughter can't stand it any longer. She screamed and ran out, trying to get help from the piano teacher next door, but I didn't expect the piano teacher who was gentle with her and brought a glimmer of light to her life to be scolded by her father.

Through this film, Hai Xuan Ku wants to tell the story of the harm caused by morbid maternal love to children, and also wants to tell the audience that there are many morbid family relationships in society that make children suffer. We can't stop such feelings, and we are helpless.

This growing experience led the heroine to discover that she was pregnant when she grew up, and she was not happy at all. On the contrary, she felt devastated because her mother's love for her since childhood cast a shadow over her, and she didn't know how to be a mother.

Although the daughter finally forgave her mother through self-redemption and the love of people around her, and understood that her mother regarded herself as the whole of her life, it is inevitable that there will be similar situations in this society.

The film Daughter uses simple pictures and composition, and the ideas conveyed are not difficult to understand, so on the whole, the film is relatively "direct".

Tender care

Ku, who directed the screenplay for the first time, was able to make such a meaningful and valuable film and was nominated by 19 Busan International Film Festival and the 45th India International Film Festival, which has proved her daughter's position in the film industry.

Anyone who has seen Korean movies must know that South Korea loves to make movies adapted from social reality. The film is heavy and depressing. Seeing the end brings the audience not dawn and hope, but the real darkness and heaviness of society.

Therefore, the reality show movie Daughter is actually quite different from other similar movies. It can be seen from the feeling that the picture is brighter. Ku still hasn't lowered the image of mother in the film too low. She criticized the distorted maternal love, but she also wanted the audience to understand these poor mothers.

At the end of the movie, Haicheng Ku compares her mother to the shadow of her daughter, who has always protected her and hoped that she would not be hurt. In the camera, the mother saw her adult daughter eating cotton candy, but she didn't take it away. She asked her fiercely, but smiled and said softly, "My daughter wants to eat sweet food."

As the director of the transformation of Ku actors, Daughter is a very good work, and it is also worthy of everyone to feel the thinking that this film wants to bring us.
