Let me give you some background information to help you understand this movie. During the Japanese occupation, Japanese geomancers came to Korea and drove iron pipes into the peaks of Korea most vigorous mountains to cut off their energy. Besides this, the Japanese army operated Unit 731, a biochemical military unit, and committed terrible atrocities by conducting live experiments on Chinese, Russian, and Korean people. Starting July 15, 2024, it will only be available in Korea through Netflix Korea. I hope it will be quickly released to subscribers worldwide. The iron stakes implanted in the body of a Japanese warrior by the Japanese geomancer Kitsune carry multiple meanings: 1. **Domination and Oppression**: The iron stakes, actually found in Korea after the war, symbolize Japan's cruelty and oppression. In the movie, a Japanese warrior becomes a ghost due to the geomancer's magic, guarding the battlefield even in death. This grotesque and eerie act is also seen in Japanese manga. 2. **Psychological Scars**: The iron stakes represent the wounds and pain embedded in the souls of Koreans, expressing the psychological suffering and conflicts they endure. 3. **Metaphor for Harsh Reality**: The iron stakes metaphorically show the brutal reality of war and violence. Through this, the movie emphasizes the wounds left by war and the resulting trauma, warning the audience about the horrors of war. In this way, the iron stakes in "Exhuma" powerfully express Japan's cruel acts and the resulting pain through various symbolic meanings.
