Sometimes the movies give the experience of reading a poem, Whether it may be the shots or well-crafted dialogues. A Bittersweet life is one of them, the movie, however, its poetic terms and cinematic beauty is still pure and really engaged the audience until the ending. The movie contains a lot of metaphorical visuals and narration. But unlike normal films, the writer heavily focused on giving the justice to the most of the lead characters in the film. So in this article, let us see some writing hooks, pinned by the director Kim Jee Woon.
"As for me, the poetic justice is not which is beating, and killing the character, it is based on the subtext of payoff what he did to others"
Every writer must give the conflict between two characters when they are about to break their relationship in a story. For instance, let us see the moon's characterization. In one scene he cuts protagonist's finger by the rod. It is brilliant that foreshadowing Sun-woo's(the protagonist) imperfectness in targetting the aims. So when he tries to shoot the moon in final,he mistargets and fired his finger like he did to the Sun-Woo.
And another character the man with the hat(who asked to say SORRY). When he tied Sun-woo there is one lady who didn't help him. After he starts to taking revenge, Sun-woo tied him as same as himself, but also with that lady so that she can't help him like the previous scene. And that one is the real poetic justice.And for Hee-soo(Female lead), Mr.Kang gifted blue lamp, but the protagonist gave red lamp like she wishes, Which is the subtext for she wanted real love, not like Mr.kang.
There is a lot of beautiful visual metaphors in the film. When he killed his enemies, the camera compares the straight line of blood together. Maybe its some visual beauty but it may stand for his straightforward journey for revenge. When he entered the hotel, the camera didn't take any panning, tilting like those lines. And there is our protagonist in slow motion straight movement. That is the subtext for his concrete thinking for revenge.
Every time when Sun-woo standing in front of the mirror, he saw his inner-self. The film majorly hooked the theme of how the hero found their self-identity. (We can discuss it in another post). When it comes to Mr.Kang, there is no any subtext, only the blindness of punishment like he did to the protagonist previously. There is a lot of poetic terms that we can speak in this film. The film looks like that story is plain, but it can be explored deeply unlike any other normal action thrillers.
