The Vegetarian

i think it somehow achieves to blur the line between the sane and the insane in a violent and bloody way, somehow it is alike Jeans Rhys' Wide Sargasso Sea, but in a more modern context with modern issues to catch on in south korea. although it might seems disturbing to some, i think it conveys something more than just blatant feminism, and somehbow the latter part also seems to arrive at that destination, of which is some sort of you'll have to go through hell in order to reach heaven redemption. the bonds between the sisters actually do highlights the last climax, alongside with a paralleling vision on life, and how they actually cross at a point, but diverging still because of their difference. the good thing is that it's not totally hopeless. and there's still a beam of light to clutch on.

kudos to a bit of nihilistic approach at the end, and in a very extreme way it achieves the purpose of telling how it's still an issue to be repressed by men in modern society, alongside with how artistic pursuit can literally because art for art's sake, sexualising women, commodifying them too, a total destruction of pre-existing morals, contrasting to the good old traditional society of south korean, and as standing up to the confucian ideologies. i think this speaks a lot in all due honesty.
