The real vengence, and the last scene.

Honestly, I got so lost, I don't even think I liked the movie. She was scarfing up tofu to prove she would not commit further evil? What was the real revenge? And how come in the beginning we see her shooting the guy alone on a sled, and then at the end we see her shooting him for real in the grave surrounded by victims relatives?And what was the boy Wan-mo doing in the bathroom?
Why did she have sex with the employee at the job? Was he her brother? Who was he? What was the "cop" connection? Who was a cop?
And by helping the kidnapper, did she participate in the first one, or just give him an alibi?
The tofu symbolised redemption-she was given some when she got out of jail, she refused. Her daughter gave her some at the end, but it was too late, there was no redemption, no satisfaction and she could not undo the last 13 years. The real revenge was letting/helping the parents do their thing, and that wasn't even planned. The first shooting was a fantasy, the second one was venting.
The boy in the bathroom was her concience haunting her.
I don't remember the sex with the employee, so I cannot comment.I don't think she participated in the kidnapping, but she was blackmailed into taking the fall for him. That's what the whole vengeance thing was about.
BTW, the narrator was her daughter.

But you are right. Hmm, how many stars you give it, Jack?.
I'ld probably give it 3 1/2 stars. It was good, but not great. As I just posted elsewhere, you should try "Princess Aurora". This I would give 5 stars. Despite the goofy name, its a fantastic movie, and a bit more coherent than Vengence.
Also, in a totally different genre, I strongly recomend "Welcome to Dongmakgol" an anti-war movie, thats a bit lighter than the revenge genre, and better IMO.
enjoy,
Jack
