Connections Featured in Arirang User reviews Review. Featured review. At the risk of boring you all senseless here are some observations off the top of my head. All the possessions and shelter needed is on the floating hut. When the young man can no longer live at peace and comfort in the hut then bad things transpire. He never commits lustful acts in the hut. When we seek happiness outside ourselves, we are never truly content. The fact there are no walls means their use is not forced but elected.
They represent morality and discipline. Morality is not defined by a higher power but by society and the self. By adopting the constraints the doors engender, self-discipline is attained. The implications of his two thefts are that while he is burdened with his craving as symbolized by the bird, he also has with him the "burden" of his master's teachings as symbolized by the Buddha statue.
Many years later, during the fall, the aging master returns from a supply run to the local village, bringing a cat in his backpack. By chance the master glimpses a story about his former apprentice in a newspaper: He is wanted for the murder of his wife. Foreseeing the apprentice's return, he modifies the teenage monk's garments by hand, and soon afterward the adult apprentice appears in the spiritual door at the lake's edge, full of anger and carrying the bloodstained knife with which he stabbed his wife for having an affair with another man.
Unwilling to go on, he seals his eyes, mouth and nose in a suicide ritual after brushing the Chinese character meaning "closed" on each of the seals and sits in front of the newly returned Buddha statue, waiting for death. The master discovers him and beats him ruthlessly, declaring that while he may have killed his wife, he will not kill himself so easily. He ties his bloodied apprentice to the ceiling and sets a candle to slowly burn through the rope, then begins writing out the " Heart Sutra " on the monastery deck, holding the cat in his arms and dipping its tail into a bowl of black ink.
The apprentice eventually falls and, beginning his repentance, cuts his hair off and is ordered to carve the Chinese characters into the wood to quiet his heart. Two detectives arrive at the monastery to arrest the apprentice, but the master asks them to allow him until the next day to finish his task.
The apprentice continues throughout the night and collapses into sleep immediately upon finishing. Influenced by the soothing presence of the master, the detectives help the old monk paint his apprentice's carvings in orange, green, blue and purple. This appears to quiet their hearts as well. The apprentice wakes up and is peacefully taken away by the detectives, with the cat accompanying them in the back of the boat.
After they leave, the master, knowing that his life is at its end, builds a pyre in the rowboat. He seals shut his ears, eyes, nose and mouth with paper in the same death ritual his apprentice performed and meditates as he is suffocated and burned to death. The master's tears can be seen through the paper seals as he is engulfed in flame and a snake swims from the rowboat to the monastery. The now middle-aged apprentice returns to the frozen lake and former home, which has been drifting uninhabited for years.
During this segment the animal motif is the snake, the Buddhist symbol of anger. He carves a statue of the Buddha out of ice, wraps his master's " sarira " small crystals sometimes found among cremated remains of monks and regarded as sacred relics in red cloth, and sets them in the statue where the "third eye" would be located, under a waterfall.
He finds a book of choreographic meditative stances and begins to train and exercise in the freezing weather. Eventually, a woman comes to the monastery with her baby son and a shawl wrapped around her face. She leaves her son and flees into the night, but as she runs across the frozen lake she accidentally stumbles into a hole in the ice dug by the monk.
He finds her body the next day, and he removes her from the water to look at her face, although it is not shown to viewers. Instead, in the next shot, the scarf is open on the ice, and a carved stone head of Buddha is sitting on it. Finally completing his long self-discipline, he ties the monastery's large, circular grinding stone to his body. It is emblematic of the Buddhist Bhavacakra , [2] the wheel of life and rebirth.
He takes a statue of the Buddha-to-come, Maitreya , from the monastery and climbs to the summit of the tallest of the surrounding mountains. As he climbs, dragging the stone wheel behind him and struggling to carry the statue, he reflects upon the fish, the frog, and the snake he tormented. Attaining the summit, he prays and leaves the statue seated on top of the circular grinding stone, overlooking the monastery in the lake far below.
Returning to spring again, the cycle recommences: The new master lives in the monastery with the abandoned baby, now a young boy and his apprentice. The boy is shown tormenting a turtle in front of the monastery, ominously a traditional symbol of longevity and prognosticating the future. A final image shows the buddha statue on top of the mountain looking down over the lake.
Ki-duk said of the film: "I intended to portray the joy, anger, sorrow and pleasure of our lives through four seasons and through the life of a monk who lives in a temple on Jusan Pond surrounded only by nature. It retains the mystical aura of having trees more than one hundred years old still growing along its shores. LJ Film was able to obtain permission to build the set after finally convincing the Ministry of Environment through six months of negotiations.
He sees the tooth and claw, and he sees the transcendence. Whether this is a Buddhist attribute, I cannot say, but the impression this movie leaves is profound: Here is an artist who sees things whole. Roger Ebert included the film in his Great Movies list in , writing, "The film in its beauty and serenity becomes seductive and fascinating. If conflict comes, his characters will in some way bring it upon themselves, or within themselves.
That causes us to pay closer attention. The traditional song used near the end of the film, while the adult monk is climbing the mountain, is called " Jeongseon Arirang ", sung by Kim Young-im. The film score was composed by Ji Bark. A sequence near the end of the film was excised from the international version of the film, likely due to its animal cruelty.
