The use of color in this film can basically be said to be suicidal and bold.
Black, white and red fill the entire film.
"Black" represents depression and despair, and is the color of the world in Song Kanghao's eyes. Song Kanghao originally had the idea of ????saving all mankind. After becoming a vampire, under the constant temptation of desire, the hope in his heart was driven away by the cruel reality. He Although the people around him are all dressed in human skin, they are doing some shameful things behind their backs. This is the story behind Shin Ha-kyun and his mother bullying Jin Ok-bin, and the mahjong players who often come to their house to play mahjong. It is a concentrated expression of the constant struggle between guilt and human nature, and he is also constantly struggling between having an affair and regret. Before he and Jin Yubin started having an affair in the hospital, he constantly persuaded Jin Yubin that this was their last time and not to come again in the future. This On the surface, he was persuading Jin Yubin, but in fact, he was praying to himself, "Holy Lord, please forgive my sins."
"White" represents rebirth and hope, and is the color of the world in Jin Yubin's eyes after rebirth. The first thing Jin Yubin did after returning from the dead was to sing a song to change the dark color of the room. The walls were painted white and countless white lights were installed on the roof. This was a release of her new life. Seeing the white color, she was full of expectations and excitement for her future life.
"Red" is the color of blood and the color of love between two people. The title of a popular American drama is a perfect way to describe this kind of love - "True Blood". Every major change in the relationship between the two is expressed through bright red blood. When Jin Yubin saw Song Kanghao lying on the ground sucking the patient's blood from the infusion tube, she knew that Song Kanghao was a vampire; when Song Kanghao killed Jin Yubin, a wisp of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth, which aroused Song Kanghao's love for love. Nostalgic; in the end, the two of them faced the sea, waiting for the red sun to appear. When the bright red sun gradually rose from the sea level, the sea water was also illuminated by the bright red sun, turning it into a sea of ??blood.
Judging from the effect of the entire film, this bold suicide attempt very closely reflects the spiritual world of the characters in the play that the director wants to express. It is an extremely important step in the process of setting off the atmosphere of the entire film. A shining touch, very much Park Chan-wook's film style.
