The ending reminds me of that part in Wuthering heights that goes "haunt me then". She said she wants to be one of his unsolved cases. This way she will always be with him, in his mind, haunting him. Like you said, their love story cannot really conclude, it just lingers.

Decision to Leave was completely different from some of PCW's past works, especially Oldboy and the Handmaiden, in a sense that the plot is not clear and lucid by any means. This i think is where people's opinion on this film splits. Oldboy and the Handmaiden, however twisted and complicated their plots were, they were all cleared up at the end, leaving no mysteries unsolved. However, the beauty of Decision to Leave lies in the fact that everything is vague, foggy, and left unsolved, because that's exactly how the film says 'the eternal love' is.

I think the ending shows us that she was also lying, and that she's not a sea person, she's really a mountain person, she's benevolent, that's why she kind of sacrifices herself for their relationship and their love.

i read it like she sacrifices herself so that she can leave without knowing the love she could have and so he can be haunted by her for a long time/his entire life because he would also never know what it feels like to consume this love. So it s kinda selfish ? Not sure, but I read it like that at that moment and I may switch my opinion after this review

I mean, she still killed two people, two horrible people no doubt, but a benevolent person would have suffered instead. She actually behaviours as a wise one, doing everything necessary to accomplish her own joy without any remorse about it. However, she clearly ignores, or probably knows and lets go, that her very husband, the one kicking her so brutally, also loved the mountain. I read that quotation as a way to encapsulate human relationships in safe schemes, but clearly failing to keep your rule straight.

@@federicosamsa yes, that's also true. But we could say the same thing about him, he isn't benevolent with his own wife since he is basically cheating on her. So yes, the movie shows how complex relationships really are and how we sometimes fool ourselves to justify our own actions.

And her inherent chaos and instability having “shattered” his sense of order and stability. If the film suggests that an excess of stability in a relationship gets boring and corrosive until it crumbles, it also seems to warn of the dangers of the opposite extreme, having a relationship built solely on being wild and unpredictable and ultimately leaving Hae-jun without closure when it inevitably ends in tragedy.

I felt crushed as the movie was ending. I was hoping for Seo Rae to be in the camera pan just behind Hae Jun and either shouting for his attention or waiting in silence for him to look at her after realizing, maybe again, his love for her. For them to be together in an embrace as the sea of benevolence and love enraptured them. For them to have the love, all-consuming and all-fulfilling, breaking all barriers of sobriety. But as the waves kept crawling up and the hope was all but fading away, all I wanted to do was run away & give up watching whatever was left of the movie. I was so angry at Park Chan-wook for ending the movie this way. Why couldn't they be together? All of the world can go screw itself, love doesn't care for anything other than the lovers. But what about the lovers themselves, what if they care? What if they have contrasting love, an upsetting ambivalence? Hae Jun knew Seo Rae had killed her husband, which shattered him. He was on the side of the law. He was devoted to his duties, a prime example of what an upright/truthful person is like. Still, once in love, he had given leeway for a categorical imperative of justice to make room for Seo Rae’s compulsive action, thus shattering him in the process. "Could he live with a murderer?" "Could she live without him anymore?" Seo Rae knew this too; for she was a dignified modern person too. But the dualities of such magnitude, which were colliding, left Seo Rae no choice, and as she loved him, she wanted him to love her too, forever (as long as forever really is). Only after I put myself in their shoes and thought about their actions could I realize the depth of Park Chan-wook's romantic vision and his profound understanding of the reality of existence & life. The dualities are all around us, at every moment, and we're struggling to overcome the dichotomies; the dichotomy of life & death, of pleasure & restraint, of freedom & bondage, of action & inaction, of delusion & knowledge, of fulfilment & loss. We struggle, and that struggle enriches our life. The depths of devastation pave the way for the fruition of blissful peace. To be able to go through the pain of Hae Jun would not be glorious. It’d be one of the most difficult lived experiences ever, yet there is the hope of such peace someday, for Seo Rae has helped him pave the fields of his heart. An ultimate sacrifice in love. Love, which strengthens with time, is peaceful and blissful in an absolute sense.

It's very funny to hear someone refer to mountains and the sea as the opposites, because where I come from it was always exactly that. Here if you would choose a place for vacations it would usually be either the sea on the far north of the country or mountains on the far south, and there would always be wars about which one you like better, are you the sea or the mountain person? It was also usually that the choice did in fact say something about person's personality, sea people would be the more chilled ones, prefering to lay down all day and observe the city, while mountain ones were the ones who prefered to relax by walking all day long and being far from civilization. It was always a difficult decision for me as a child to answer if I'm a sea or a mountain, and usually I would try to avoid answering. Today I know that this is because I'm more of a forrest and lake kind of person, since I am from the region in the middle of the country where there's a lot of those. The sea is too big and scary and untouchable, and the mountains are too steep and harsh, I prefer hiding beneath the lake water's surface and look for trees for comfort of a shade.

decision to leave is the most heartbreakingly romantic film ive ever seen in a very, very long while. will never get tired of park chan wook's distinct style of editing. he's completely mastered the art of attention; he's always in full control. the energy between the two leads was seductive, electrifying, *mist*ifying, and they didnt even need to have sex. romantic and sexual tension is all about the things that have NOTHING to do with sex. it's about what you guys do outside the bedroom. i deadass started laughing my ass off when you described their whole suspect-police fantasy as "hot" because it really is 🤣 nothing more spicy than a little voyeur kink, jk. but on a serious note, it's that chase that which lies their dynamic. like you said, without the turbulent sea-like qualities in their relationship, they would probably be less toxic but the energy would simply diffuse into nothingness. they so desperately wanted for the chase to never end; the longing to never cease. that was the only way to keep and justify their heart-shattering love.

I love this analysis and the sand pile theory really does make sense. Perhaps that explains the narratively cumbersome move to the seaside city in the entire second half. This symbolism and the elements you focus on here are my favorite things, but that being said, I was distracted by the too much-ness of the movie. Love story? With social commentary? With police procedural? With comic relief? With multiple (un)related criminal story lines? With a ton of commercial endorsements in our face, too?

Really great and insightful analysis: the mountain and sea thing was something I didn't get into... would have needed a 3rd or 4th viewing to unpack that one. I loved this film on first viewing, and some of the symbols only started making sense a few days later. The portrayal of a man falling into love exceeded things like Vertigo, for me, the scenes drawing from In the Mood for Love, Paris Texas, Gone Girl. In short, tragic seduction (not detective drama) is the true genre of this film. I do sense that it would have benefitted from a few extra scenes, to slow down its speed, and have it hit harder - particularly the second half. Since Seo-Rae was an object of suspicion throughout so much of the film, a little bit extra characterisation to show some aspect of goodness in her would have been helpful, to make her seem more complex, her love that little bit more tantalisingly possible and sincere, and her death at the end of more tragic. At the same time, I DID totally fall in love with her...... and suspicion is one of the big reasons some men never truly get to bask in a woman's heart.

To further support your main point - at the end of the film, the director frames Jang ascending the cliffs, while you can see the area where Song drowns herself in the background. Further indicating the tragic incompatibility these two have, their lives ultimately going in opposite directions. Another point of their incompatibility being the mountain being considered 'oil' versus the 'water' of the ocean - which, of course, do not mix. Watched this movie on your recommendation so thank you for this and keep up the great work!

more than an everlasting love, i think a haunting love is probably a better word. the scene where she builds her own mountain that gets destroyed by the sea as she gets ready to welcome death to me is a direct portrayal of the police officer's life (mountain) that collapses (as he himself says in the indirect love confession scene) after she (the sea) comes into his life. a whirlpool is created, the water churns as she sinks but not without also taking him down with her; for she will end up being his open case and in the alternate ending that they do discover her body, right under where his feet stood and searched (dirt under the first husband's fingernails with her dna in one of the first scenes to dirt under the officer's shoes where she went to lie forever), its something that will haunt him regardless, keeping him from sleep, eyes wide awake. she, who used to be the one to help him sleep ends up having the last motive of taking his sleep away ++ must i also add, when he's near the sea, listening to the last of his recorded voice asking her to throw the phone into the deep sea,, there's an almost pained smile? on his face as he understands this is her confessing her love back,, saying i love you by coming back to the sea and throwing herself into it. obeying a lover before he ties his shoelaces to go search frantically. i really like that frame

That was up until the last third of the movie when everything started to gear up for a devastating ending (and what an ending it was!). I kind of wish there were more ‘lost in translation’ moments because I loved how the language barrier was explored. Overall I might have to give this one another watch because I feel like I’ve missed out on something.

i think this review video has unlock one of the main key symbols in the movie, but if you already in the realm of Park Chan Wook, then we should realize that he has scatters a lot more symbolism in order to unlock way more contexts. One of the symbolism that's interesting for me is how Park is playing the shadow and light. How shadow and light is representing the mysteriousness, and how light is showing us the truth, the path of the narratives. One of the example is on the last scene where Joon is scattering the ashes on the mountain, Seo-Rae is using the headlight where she is showing the way for Joon, but at the same time Seo stays behind the light, a depiction of mysterious being for Joon to uncover.

It's beautiful, the end tells me how delicate our connections are, or not..rs this is the paradox of love. We can build relationships, crimes, violence, family, etc.. but we can not build love. It catches us, it's not a passive object, it transforms us in the process. All the little details of culture, language, can make them lose themselves, but they always find each other in the mist, bcse they are in love. The end tells me this..love solve mountains, endure and survive death.

Not to sound naive, but that was the moment I fully realized how differently people can experience and interpret the same thing. My friend was the kind of guy that thought transformers was awesome. He didn't like The Witch, he clearly, obviously, would fall asleep the first 30 minutes of this film. Does that make the film bad? I wish people that watched films like this and didn't like it, looked inward for those reasons and not at the film. Especially when there's a large portion of people who do like the film. We don't pretend to like it, you just have a slow attention span. I'm not being as nice as others by saying, well it's not for everyone. No, it's not for people with the sensibilities of a 12 year old boy, which sadly, there seems to be a lot of that.

I have to being honest i didnt like this movie even after watching this video and others works of the same director seems to me some really good ones and others kinda meh but this ones i think was (so far between all the movies of Chan-Wook Park) the worst, i entered expecting something at least good and just leaved dissapointed.

I liked the movie, I just think that if it had less strange and innovative gimmicks and tried less to keep characters emotions a mystery, it would have impacted me more on an emotional level.. now it felt overly artsy and pretentious. The gist is more important than technical excellence for me. Also, Its appeal relies much more on Tang Wei's charisma than anyone cares to admit. Great analysis though. 👍

Yeah I agree. I never really cared for the characters until towards the end of the movie.

Wise people like sea, benevolent people like mountains...This is the most ironic thing in the movie as Seo Rae's first husband does domestic violence on Seo Rae and when it comes to mutual liking of Hae Jun and Seo Rae for sea, they do things in the name of love which aren't wise at all but I can't blame them much as anyone thinks less from their brain when it comes to love and thinking love from heart can convert love into beautiful or a toxic one which was the latter in this case..

It's really not devastating because all the main character had to do was say "Hey my wife left me last night, want to spend the rest of our lives together?"

The detective's wife working at a nuclear power plant fits in well with the whole water motif since reactors need fresh water (detective) to cool the rods to avoid a meltdown (their shaky relationship) but SeoRae (salt water) comes into the picture, contaminates the detective, and cause their marriage to go into meltdown, much like how the tsunami crashed into and caused the Fukushima nuclear disaster…or I'm just overanalyzing lol
