Hochul Jason Lee

"Poetry," directed by Lee Chang-dong, seems to address a sexual violence case in Korea, but in reality, it suggests that humans are not inherently good and that understanding the truth is incredibly difficult. Life and death, violence, and suffering—all these aspects are, from the perspective of an observer, simply what makes us human (apples). The film conveys a powerful message about the complexities of human nature and the challenges in discerning reality.
