Welcome back everyone. We finally made it to our 200th episode. I feel like I should say something profound right now, or maybe thought provoking to emphasize the milestone, but honestly forcing profoundness to happen is sort of off-brand for us, or more of a prep really hard and then shut on our observations kind of show. Speaking of, watch out for profanity and spoilers. We do that kind of thing. This time we're starting our conversation about spring, summer, fall, winter, and spring. All the links and info will be in the description. And thanks for sticking with us all this time. We appreciate you. Do you want me to catch you win again? Yes. All right. We're fucking around on Twitter. Dun, dun, dun. I will die before I call it X. I know right. Eat a dick, Elon. Yeah, pretty nice. He also supports an idiot and is an idiot himself. Yeah, this isn't a surprise to anyone. No. We just stumbled into Twitter, talked about aliens and fell asleep on the couch. This man's on drugs. This is not everyone realized this. Doesn't need to suck that in and it is happening. Anyway, so I should count you in, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. We're talking about a movie. We should do that. Yeah, okay. One, two, three. Welcome back for another episode of BSR. Today we have... But Evan, Isaac. And I'm Jasmine. Today we're going to talk about my second pick for this series where we make or a tip to make. Isaac feels something and it is, you guys are going to help me out again, spring, summer, fall, winter, ellipsis points, and spring, spring, spring, which is different from the European title where they say autumn. Oh, is it? There's also a couple that just do spring, summer, fall, winter and then leave off spring for some reason. Anyway, there's a couple different versions of the title. And spring is crucial to this. Yeah, it is. Well, it's also Korean and kim kiddo. Right. Yeah. And the Amazon version does not have the and spring on it. No, it does not. Yeah. Because it's too graphic. Huh? Yeah. It was just like there. Okay. What? Is it the answer? Yeah. Okay. Well, I mean, I know there are multiple versions. I saw the Amazon one. So I saw the Amazon one. So maybe this is when you guys get there out. I remember what was graphic about that part of the movie. I mean, considering what we've seen so far, I will say so. Yeah. But this is what 2000 what? 2003 in America, it got released by Sony pictures in 2004. So I originally saw it on cable surprise surprise. This was I did not know at the time. My first kimky took film. So I would go on to see much more interesting titles by that director. If you're familiar, they have well, I guess I haven't traumatized you guys with some of those, but already familiar for some of them. I actually love time. It's pretty good. I was also Mobius was in the running for this. So I haven't seen that one yet. So he's a controversial director. I think that's easy enough to say. Yes. Yes. After watching this one, it's like, I remember this. What else has he been doing? And the good news is that he's dead. Wow. He died from COVID, right? Yeah, he died from COVID, but he had some sexual assault allegations. And then one of the actresses in this movie claimed that he forced her to do an unscripted sex scene in the movie. I believe that. Yeah. So yeah. And based on this movie, I believe that all of the sex scenes in this were unscripted in a surprise. Oh, no, like it wasn't in the script. He was just like, and you fuck now. Yeah. So that tracks is what I saw in this movie. Yeah. I mean, that makes, that actually makes a plot in continuity make a lot of sense to be now. This movie, again, was released in Korea, had a box office of 9.5 mil. I can't find the budget of this movie anywhere. I was trying to look, because I saw the box office and did not see the budget. Rotten tomatoes, it's at a 94%. And IMDB gives it an eight out of 10. Okay. Which I'm like, if you see the trailer for this movie, you know what you're getting into. And the people that would go to like, minions movies aren't going to watch this. So guess that's a little puffed up a little bit there. That's a little bit. I'm sure I'm sitting with the eight out. Well, Rotten Tomatoes rakes it as either a good score or a bad score. Yeah. It's something in the middle, right? Yeah, I understand that. Whereas IMDB, they're averaging things. I try to get both every. So eight out of 10. And obviously people liked it. Yeah. But okay. You were sick the other day you texted me. It was like this movie feels like it's taking forever. It's a 103 minutes. I know it's like it's a lot longer. I know. It just it has parts that drag out in ways that don't make any sense of the tone. It is a very it's very slow pace. Yeah. It's a very intentionally slow, meditative, atmospheric movie. Yes. Yes, it is. He's doing what he wants to. It's intentional. Oh, I assume everything's intentional in this movie. It's okay. Oh, definitely with him it is. Yeah. Yeah. I'm looking at like publishing documents. The budget is left out. Oh, okay. We've not mentioned. Well, there we go. That's interesting. Yeah. Okay. They filmed it is on this very beautiful lake. Yeah. Our theory atmosphere and the setting is gorgeous. I have a little there. This is a nature preserve that he actually had to jump through a bunch of hoops to fill. Oh, okay. It's like there's nothing built in this area. Like it's illegal to build things. The set is like, yeah, constructed and dropped in. It's a man-made lake, but it was man-made something like 200 years ago. Oh. So all the trees around there have natural growth. Like this place looks beautiful because it was engineered. So look beautiful. It's like in the mountains. It's left to grow. Yeah. It's a jusangi. It's the name of the place. It is definitely out in the mountains. Yeah. Jusangi Pond. I mean, I'm not even going to say just google it. I don't know what geography Korea would say. Yeah. It is. It is right about 300 years old. All of the cinematography, I would say, is above and beyond. That makes sense is why, how beautiful. I have a caveat. I have a caveat. All right. I have a caveat and it's the really awkward, super hyperfacial close-ups when they get on the boat the first time. And then the first time he gets on the boat with the girl. Both of those scenes just have these weird-ass anxiety-inducing close-ups on the face for a couple of seconds that don't seem to serve any purpose for mood setting or seeing people's expressions or anything because they're not really different than they were. It's just really jarring close-ups of their faces really suddenly and then it's gone. The thing that I got out of that personally was like, "Oh, shit. That's the guy from Squid Game." Yeah. The old monk in this is the old guy in Squid Game. Before you say, "Oh, the old monk." This is a small Buddhist shrine. Yeah. This is a small Buddhist shrine. It's a floating temple. A monk in residence and then his apprentice. He's a young boy. They don't really address their relationship. Right, but he's learning that he's learning the ways and he lives as the monk. They don't actually give them names either. There's two characters they end up naming in a newspaper that they flash on the screen for like four seconds, but they don't actually use them. So it's just like monk boy girl. Not a lot of dialogue in this movie. Girl's mother. Literally if there's more than 50 to 75 spoken lines in this, I'll be surprised. Yeah. There's also a lot of iconography, a lot of symbolism in this movie. It is thick in this. And a lot of Buddhist traditions you probably need to know about if you aren't know what the fuck is going on. And I am, for sure, not an expert in this. Like I have read books. I even went to Bloomington, Indiana to see the Dalai Lama speak once. Yeah. A friend got tickets. Yeah. No, there's a whole Tibetan Buddhist cultural center there. I used to go there for their meditation days. Yeah. Yeah. Really nice place. He had a lecture on the Heart Sutra, which is in this. So yeah. Well, while I'm not an expert in Buddhism at all, I can definitely tell they're cherry picking different things from Buddhism. It's not like one cohesive tradition. It's just like this thing and this thing and this thing with their dropping gun. But I just figured he'd used what he needed to meet his ins for his script. Oh, yeah, for sure. The director write this movie. Yeah, he does. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So I will say this movie is beautiful and very peaceful. Almost enough that you forget the animal cruelty, child abuse, sexual, self-suicide, toxic packs. Yeah. Child band admit murder, murder, masochism, like a laundry list of things that are like, Oh, you can't do that in movies are like right here. I mean, I guess you should expect it if I picked it, but casual gun playing weird magic. Yeah. Yeah. There's a little bit of that towards the end. Sure. The implication that someone's going to be poisoned. I feel like suicide isn't a good enough. Isn't a strong enough self-immolation. Yeah. A little bigger than suicide. I think. No, well, I will say the boy attempts at one point and then gets the shit beat out of him. That was hilarious. He's like fucking idiot. I laughed. That was hilarious. Yeah. Anyway, we'll get there. Anything else you want to say about as an intro to this thing? No. No. I didn't expect the tone of this going into it. And then like I got kind of into okay, so it's going to be an exploration of growing up and spirituality. And then the first instance of animal abuse starts and I'm like, what the fuck is that happening? Yeah. And then yeah, it's just like allowed to continue. And then we'll get into that part. But just like, I'm like, okay, what the fuck is it? And then every time something new happened, I'm like, why? Yeah. Yeah, there's a lot of that. When I saw this, they're like the kids that told me about this for the same kids that told me if I didn't love Coldplay, where there was something wrong with me. So like, I mean, it's all right, you know, if that's kids, but they can't just be okay, or you don't get it. Coldplay is creed for people who liked tool. See, that's how I feel. Yeah, glad we don't have a huge audience because of the danger. It's like a long time ago. As the founder Wikipedia say, if you put something wrong in the website, people will correct you. But if it's slightly wrong, then people will come from the ends of the earth to correct you. Yeah, yeah, that's true. [Music] [Music] [Music] You're ready to jump in the first season here? Yes. Which is what? Spring? It is spring. Can we help you with this title? I know that it starts with spring, but after that, and I know but I still forget it. Anyway, yeah, there's an old guy in a boy living in a floating monastery, like we said, and like monastery might be overselling it. It's a big room on a living platform. Yeah, there's really not anything. I mean, it's not just a room because there's two doors in here with no walls. But like the doors. The doors for like, and if you've seen this movie, then you understand like the doors don't serve a purpose, first per se, but obviously it has some sort of... My notes include like a confusion over whether the doors, because I first assumed because they are doors. There are places that look like discrete little bedrooms. They don't have walls, just a door, where there should be a door if there were walls. Yeah, right. I have in my notes some confusion over whether that's a symbolic thing as part of this spiritual thing, or if it's like a stage direction thing, where you are meant to understand this is a room, but you need to be able to see what's going on inside is like you wouldn't play. Yeah, I mean, that would make sense, but then later on. Yeah, but then it's like at some point people just walk past it where it's like, oh, okay, so there's not meant to be something there. No, I was like, I wanted to go off on a rant about this door, and it kept using it, but it has like, wait, is this a cultural thing from one on my rant? Yeah, so it's a metaphor for following rules and conventions, and I okay, because that's how you introduce the doors that is a proper way to enter the room. Right, yeah. When someone stops following the rules, they go around the door. Okay, like I got there eventually, but at first I was really, because I expected it to be like a stage thing. Yeah, which is an aspect I honestly didn't consider. I mean, think about the whole a little more in my life in a theater. I even think about the whole thing about, oh, this is way to follow rules. I was just like, no, it seems really that's actually really visible toward the end. At the at the end of the winter phase, we'll get there, but like grief is hitting the woman, then it's like the guy stays behind the door. Yeah. And that's giving her the privacy, even though he can clearly hear her and know she's there, he closes the door and stays behind it where it's obstructing his view, because he's giving her privacy by leaving the room, even if he's right there, open air and five feet away. The first outing they have, the boy and the old man could go to the shore and the boy goes off to pick herbs to make medicine. The old guy is like, be careful, the snakes stay away from the snakes. Yeah. Makes sense. You know, the boy finds a snake and grabs it and heaves it away. Right. Grabs it like it's nothing. Yeah. If you live in a place with a lot of snakes, that's part of your life. I'll go outside for this bullshit. Part of your life is grabbing snakes right behind the head and heave him over there. Honestly, I don't think he even grabbed it behind the head. I think he's like mid body. Yeah. He just flunking. I was like, okay. It wasn't. He whipped that name. It wasn't venomous or anything. I was trying to get bitten as I was surprised by. Yeah. Again, leaning into the metaphors of this, in these first scenes, there are these statues around the monastery and at first, I thought they were like the food lions, you know, like guardian whatever spirits. Yeah. Like that. But they are dogs. Are they? They are. And they're a lion's version of a shitsu. And there's also in the first scene, a dog on the deck for like one scene. It's like, okay, I'm going to have to fucking Google the Buddhist metaphor for every animal in this goddamn movie because they all. Never shows up again. I do want to talk about. They also come outside. They get on the boat, but you don't just go to shore. You go to, there is a platform. Oh, yeah. There's the temp, the actual temple doors are on the shore. And they go through those. And also, the lake frequently gets above that. Like just as it, you know, ebbs and flow, like rises and falls. He strikes people off at the doors. Yes. He can see the shore. Yeah. Like it's right there. But you have to go to the doors that have just the buffest oni looking dudes. Right. And like the doors. One of the reasons I thought that was theater direction happening is that at the opening of each act, you see the doors. Yeah. And they open for the audience to bring the camera inside. Like that's a very stage direction theater trick. Right. Yeah, exactly. It's part of the temple is inviting you in to be part of the story kind of thing. So the dog. Apparently, it's referencing a co on a dog in this interdition was considered a low creature. And it's a metaphor for a new student who would eat anything without discrimination because dogs will eat anything if you put in front of them, right? Yeah, pretty much. So the thing was like, do dogs have a Buddha nature? Is the question like, can dogs reach enlightenment because they're not discerning? The answer that the student gives is the word for nothingness is like that they can't clear their mind. But is there a mind there to clear? Is that count as enlightenment? So that's the question. And with the kid there, they're saying he doesn't know anything yet. He's just a child. Right. Yeah. And is it really rising above it if you didn't have any? Right. Yeah. That's that's a big thing in a lot of Eastern philosophy is that like true mastery of self can only come with experience of the world around you. You can't just sever yourself from desire if you don't know what you're missing. Exactly. Right. Because even in Siddhartha, him as a prince living in the, oh, if anyone's read Siddhartha. So like he's he's a prince. He goes out to the countryside and was like, what are those people over doing? And it's like, oh, they're starving, they have diseases and stuff. Yeah. People are mortal. Yeah. Anyways, you find that problem in Western situations a lot where people live in magic castles in their fantasy world of everything is perfectly fine because we have money, don't know how bad shit can get. Yeah. Yeah. Also, the boy not caring at all about the snake because the snake is a metaphor too, right? A snake is a metaphor for anger, greed, and ignorance. Like it can also be a bunch of things because like it's not one tradition we're dealing with. It also represents rebirth and death and mortality because they like shed their skins. So that's more that's more confusion. It's more of a naga tradition than snake, but it's kind of related, right? Yeah. I mean, it's almost like immortality and a confusion thing because you can continually throw yourself aside to become higher and higher until you ascend. The snakes are also metaphorically, they protect lakes and springs because they don't want people polluting their environment. Okay. And this kid is over there picking plants for the herbs that he wants, but he accidentally picks something deadly, like one of the plants he picks, like that is where that is where the snake approaches him. Right. Yeah, he's picking poison. Yeah. And then the monk is like teaching and was like, Oh, don't eat that. I'll kill you. So they have to teach him the distinction. Like there's this one white line in it that yeah, but you have to pay attention to that. I mean, that's part of though. Gave attention to what you're dealing with. You can't reach enlightenment through ignorance. Yeah. And the next scene we have the first sociopath scene. We're saying that this kid may not feel the things like the rest of us. He goes, he goes on land and he chases around moths and just squishes them. And then he finds a fish, a frog and a snake. There's like a area they go back to a lot that's in a rocky part on the one side of this lake, but like it has effectively like tide pools because what lake rises and falls and then things are trapped in this little area. So it makes it really easy to do something like catch a fish with your hands because it ain't going nowhere. He can't escape. Yeah. With these three animals, he ties a rock to a fish. He ties a rock to a frog and ties a rock to a snake. And I feel like it's important to mention that every time he does this and then watches them struggle. He is just jacks. I mean, he hasn't like fucking joker. He is the happiest anyone has ever been just watching an animal struggle to deal with that. And meanwhile, the monk Loki is just watching watching it go down. This is the first point where people who didn't get the fucking point of this movie in their reviews started talking about the continuity error of, oh, but the old monk is just there even though he wasn't on the boat with the boy. Yeah, it was a question. I had it initially. Maybe he's swam. Maybe he's like, he can swim. And if he doesn't, this is a movie steep in ancient mystic traditions, you don't question why the master can see the apprentices every move. Right. Like, it may not even be that he's physically there. Well, also, I'm like, why didn't he stop the kid? Because it's obviously bothering the monk. My notes are definitely kids a psycho and dudes just watching this. Yeah. So, kid comes back, falls asleep and the monk ties a rock to the kid. And the kid doesn't feel that at all for some reason. Yeah, he just sleeps very, very heavily. And then he's like, master, you tied a rock to me? I can't walk. This sucks. Master's like, well, you fucked with those animals. He's like, did you do that to the fish? Yes. Yeah. Did you do that to the frog? Yes. Yeah. Yeah. And then effectively it was just like, all right, well, you go free those animals and come back and I'll take the rock off of you. But also. And then if any of them have died, you will carry that rock in your heart for the rest of your life. It will fucking haunt you. So bad parenting, right? I mean, I wouldn't say so. The next lines in my note are what a practical and not at all deranged lesson. So, this comes up later. Oh, so. Yeah. And that goes up there and also brings to kind of like, what the hell is he actually teaches, kid? Yes. The fish is dead, obviously. Symbolism here. The fish represents happiness and they have complete freedom because they can move any direction in the water. So, they represent fertility and abundance. Next step. Dead. Yeah. Dead, right? The frog is still alive somehow. Yeah. I was surprised at that. I mean, it could move the most. That's true. That is very true. Frogs are considered a symbol of wealth and prosperity. I'm sure you've seen little statues with like little coin in its mouth. Yeah. It's abundance, nurturing, love and friendship. And frogs have a long lifespan, at least in the mind of the people writing these things. They can live like 40 plus years. They can also remain dormant for long periods of time. And they're also considered enlightened because they just sing all the time for people. So. Like an adult frog has already gone through a metamorphosis. Complete change out of the life that they lived. The frog's okay. It has a long life. One out of three so far. But the snake is also dead. It looks like another animal got it. And again, these are the three poisons as a metaphor. Anger, greed and ignorance largely, right? So, so far, he is not betting 100 because he got two dinner days, right? And the character. And like the grief at that or the sadness. He just falls and I was like, yeah, just wailing. But it's like bad kid crying. Yeah. It's bad. It's like, well, like you can like hear the snot bubbling. And the monks just like, well, I'm going to watch this. This is my TV for the day. Like I was wondering, I was like, I don't know what this monk is teaching outside this one little lesson. I don't know what the monk is teaching on because they don't show him really teaching him anything outside of this lesson. I was actually asking if like, can this kid read? Is he getting homeschooled on this raft? I mean, we know that there are books there, but they're also largely picking karate books. Yeah, they're also largely pictographic. Yeah. So they wouldn't necessarily require you to be able to read. I guess. Yeah, I guess even later, he's just tracing things. You may don't want to read. He might not know what to read. Yeah, just valid. They won't know it can, at least. Oh, yeah, for sure. Or at least he knows the characters anyway. You read the news. Put it in the comments. You read in the newspaper. Oh, yeah, he does. Well, he saw it. We don't know that he understood it. He scowed a little bit. Well, he knew what happened. And he automatically knew to get this guy's clothes ready. Yep. [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] So that concludes spring. Yeah. Yeah, they cut out right on that whaling. Comes out right around 20 minutes. So with spring being that fast and it being five seasons like, how's the movie so long? It must be the pacing, man. It has to be. I mean, aside from the and spring, the sections are longer every time. I put notes when all the seasons change on here. Oh, well, yeah. The next one, the boy is now a teen. He takes a trip on the boat to the shore again and sees two serpents fucking. Yeah, like, whaling around each other. And I was like, what are the snakes doing? I was like, oh, I've seen this on National Geographic. I know this. Has that where you got the idea from later on? See, now you're doing the metaphor. See, actually, I was, I got a whole different symbolism out of that just because like he saw them and was smiling. My thought was that he killed that snake and they're repopulating now. Okay. Yeah, it could be that, too. I didn't kill all the snakes. Nature is healing itself. I thought he was like, I'd like do me do later with somebody. I mean, that's also how I took it. I was like, Oh, look, he killed that one snake, but there are obviously two more making more snakes for everyone. He goes off and stands by this big ass Buddha statue cliff thing. It's awesome when the intro, but it's just kind of, it seems like it's kind of a place because he went up there as a kid for a little bit. He seems like it's just like a kind of place where he goes to look out over things. Yeah. It's establishing his place and his routine that has continued since he was a boy, but this time he sees two people coming out of the path. It's a teen girl and I'm assuming her mother finally seeing these two people, we can zero in on what time period they're in because the first one, just because they're monks living on a raft, you can't really tell, right? This could have been hundreds. Yeah, but these people, they have cell phones. Modern clothes. Yeah, right. So you're like, Oh, this might have been 2003 or whatever. Yeah, it's a flip phone, right? Yes. Yeah, the two cell phones you see are flip phones, the T9. So the girl, the teen girl has a cold or something. She's sick. She's sick somehow. She's sick in some way where she's still cool to make this hike. So yes, they're to walk to butt fucking nowhere. So they go in the old man, he brings them across the boat. He brings the boat. He brings them across and it's like, Hey, this tree's over 300 years old. Isn't that interesting? And they're both like, yeah, sure. And on the deck is a chicken. So again, metaphor, chicken is a thing that exercises evil spirits also can mean greed or good fortune. What going on there? Yeah. Again, depending on tradition, you lead into and I would have just listed one of them and been confident on my answer. But there are parts of this that seem to reference different parts of that. So the old man says that the girl is suffering in her soul. Yes. And with that, when that suffering, that suffering is alleviated, then her body will heal. We'll get better. I just, I just hot swapped out his voice with like Barry White. Yeah. She's suffering in when she's got that feeling. She about to get some healing though. We'll get there. At this point though. Yeah. The monkeys are just like, her body will recover when her soul does. Yeah. Like the mothers just like, please take care of her and then fucks off. Yeah. So she leaves her totter with two strange bit in the wilderness with predictable outcomes in a lake. Yeah. Where they control whether she can come or go in a one bedroom or one room. She is staring in the quote, spare bedroom. So there's a second door that she sleeps behind near. So next to seeing the exact next scene, the boy walks in on her changing and doesn't exactly leave. He's not in like a hurry to close the door again. No. She's just like, oh the fuck. Yeah, please go. Right? But at the same time, she didn't make an effort to tell him to leave. She's just like, well, that means she turned away and covered her. Yeah, she did. But she's not cool with it. Yeah. But she didn't do it like quickly. He was like, she's obviously not not cool with this. She's not cool with the business. And like, it becomes deeply obvious very fast that this boy has never contemplated a female creature. Probably not a whole lot going on. And he's a teen ball of raging hormones. Oh, yeah. I've seen his first rough shape of breast through clothes. And that's just too much. It's too much for him to handle it. Oh, no, 100%. Two, two. Definitely took him not closing the door as like, he was genuinely curious. There's literally no one else out here. They are on a floating room, the genuine curiosity goes to straight perv in a hurry. Oh, real quick. Oh, I think he was curious because he was wondering where she got those clothes from the change because she did not bring those with her. She was uniform, which you only ever see in that one scene. Yeah, don't worry about it. Plus, plus the dress she's not the worst. Yeah, she has a lot of costume changes. Yeah, when she came on, she's wearing was like a skirt and a little coat. Which you never see again. Mm-hmm. But it paid way more attention to her clothes than I did. Well, it was obvious when she was wearing different clothes. I'm like, where are you getting these clothes from? Yeah. I was like, where is this coming from? Obviously, they don't have it unless they do. I still don't know where she got the clothes she left in. She stopped. Anyway, she stopped changing clothes when they started having sex. So I think it's clear where she was keeping them. We can move on. Good, Lauren. So anyway, I was having trouble petting down how old these two characters are. It's definitely two natures, though. I don't want two, though. I don't want two, though. We don't know exactly where they live. So we don't have to classify whether or not we broke a law by watching it. Right. Yeah, exactly. So like that progresses to like she's asleep on the floor at some point. Yeah. He's just like straight up drops to his knees and lifts up the blanket and goes right for it. Well, and in his defense, he does start to put the blanket on her because she was completely uncovered. Yeah. But after putting it on there, he's like, let me just lift it up when stick my hand in her. Yeah. So like as soon as she wakes up, she slaps the shit out of him. But immediately after slapping him is like rubs his shoulder and I was like, well, because he also like, he started immediately panic praying. Yeah. So it's obvious he doesn't know what the fuck he's doing. But he also doesn't stop constantly creeping on her like, and every scene for the next few, like 10 minutes. That just sort of continues. Either he's trying to touch her without any invitation or is just creepily staring at her, whether she knows he's there or not. Yeah, exactly. I mean, I don't think he's older, slap either. No. And kind of his offense really much to do because you don't see him actually have a structured day. I'm wondering about his training. He doesn't have a structured day. He kind of just does what he wants. He doesn't do much of anything. They have like a certain number of things that are structured, but it's definitely not the whole day. Yeah. Like if we want to go into like specific analytics, there's got to be a town nearby because like the mug brings back food. They could have had all the clothes delivered later. There's ways to get around it, but that's not really the point of the movies. Like, I don't know if I'm giving the director too much leeway. It just feels like a lot. Well, it's a lot of suspension of belief you have to do. Notes in here, world's least subtle creeper and holy shit, it's getting impitty. Boy, stop going right for the tits. You know, just give it a moment. Did he learn this child? No, chill at all. So one minute later, the boy takes the girl to the shore. There starts this like creepy, romantic, Zelda music play in the background. I couldn't shake that it sounded like Zelda music. It does. Wait, is this the one where he falls on the rock? Yeah, it's like a golem climb. Yeah, she's just like waiting into the water and trying to catch a fish just because they're there. Yeah, and he's like full fucking hands and toes, like on this route on this big rock and climbing down it head first. Literally like, until physics takes over and drops in the rest of the way. She screams. Yeah, and then he catches the fish. He answered the fish, which again symbolizes happiness and complete freedom, right? He bought her a fish sandwich. He got that fish on her. Well, that gives you number two ladies giving him a fish sandwich. For some reason, this gives him the confidence to just reach straight for the tit again. Yeah, he goes again and it lock eyes like zombies right before that. He just goes for it that she pushes them back into the water. And at that point, I think I was like, did you just give her a fish and think that that was enough payment like for a tit grab or like, I was trying to figure out where the curiosity and stuff ended and where the creeper began because there's no. I'm just at this point where it's like, okay, you have been violently physically rebuked for this a couple of times. I feel like even at dog intelligence, whatever, you stop doing that thing. Correct, but no. Quit touching the hot stove. And then they're back on the thing and the boy is grinding the herbs really aggressively. The old man's like, whoa, dude, gentle with the pure heart. I think he starts beating the herbs like gently. And I was like, bro, mind you, what he's making contact. Yeah. Oh, girl, that's behind the monk this whole time. And I was like, Laura, somebody get him. There's a point of the really aggressive sexual, whatever, where my notes say that my vagina is now drying out. Yeah. Oh, that was that was painful to watch on so many levels. But anyway, I saw like what he was doing is crushing on like, is there a way to masturbate without learning from your dog? They make her drink the Greek goo that comes out. That's what I'm saying. It's medicine. It's medicine. Right. Yeah, it's medicine as they look at her. He does a bunch of eating and then drinks the medicine that comes out of his sack. So right. Yeah, with a stick. Um, so anyways, he's in a boat later on. Oh, he is frustrated. He's frustrated, bro. He's also kind of showing off just being goofy. Yeah. I mean, he was, but like that I was like, you trying to, you trying to run some, but oh, yeah. Yeah. And then he pulls her into the water. And like, for a second, I was like, Oh God, she can't swim, can she? I was like, oh, he killed her. How do you know she can swim? So far, she'd only wait. She starts like splashing at him in that point. And then I was like, Oh, damn, you like that. You know, my notes then say, Oh, no, she's a sucker for stupid assholes. Yeah. So at this point, they, like both get in the boat completely searched and then they go to shore and let me tell you, there's ducks by the boat by the tree and ducks are believed to be extremely faithful to their partners, have a symbol of love and devotion. And also, this is the second point when they get into the boat to go to the shore then where they have the really, really awkward facial closeups. Oh, yeah. And then that never happens again. It's just those two. Yeah. I think it's like a continuing theme. It's just like, it happened twice. And then we're done with it, I guess also at the speed at which he rode to shore, you know, oh, yeah, what was about to go down next and I was like, I didn't for sure. Do you know how like, not for very long. So they're doing the dirty. He's super into it, obviously. She's okay with it. Like they're again doing super close face shots or whatever. And she's just like there. This is the point where written down boy has no ass girl has no standards. Yeah. On the way back, she grabs her crotch and like sinks down. Yeah. So like she didn't walk or something. So she has to like take you back and put her in a boat. And I was like, did you do it so bad that you have injured her? I mean, which fair point you find the right hole. Yeah. There was so much going on there that I was, I was just you'll you'll learn this one day, Jasmine, but on a woman's first time, a lot of times, there's pain or tearing even if it wasn't. So that would solve that problem. I assume she wasn't a virgin. Maybe that's okay. Oh, no, definitely she was in the same position as the stone. I also want to throw out there that this is another burden that he has to carry back and also she were white all the time until after that. Yeah. Yeah. She started wearing like that. So that was when I was like, okay, she's supposed to be a virgin. But also the fact is, I thought at this time too, when they were doing it, that they're going to pan up and then the monster would be leaning. Yeah, absolutely. When they come back from that, there's absolutely a moment where you can tell he can smell it. Yeah. Well, like he knows when they come back, he's riding on a stone with a paintbrush with water on it. Yep. So as he's riding, the water is evaporating. Correct. And I've been using a lot, a lot of the text in this. I've been using my phone with like a text, right? But it tried too quick for you to fuck out. I was like, God damn it. So I went to Reddit because they have everything, right? It's from a poem about a waterfall. And what he's literally writing is flying stream down 3000 feet until the Milky Way is tumbled from the ninth Idth of heaven, which makes no sense. No, but it's from a poem where this guy is describing a beautiful moment that he was experiencing at a waterfall, where he was looking up into the waterfall and having this thing was like, it could go up forever, even up to the stars. And he's like basking in this moment of beauty. But as he's writing about this moment of beauty, the old guy is writing this with disappearing ink, basically. Yeah. So he's saying, like, this is only a fleeting moment of this pleasure that you're feeling. And it's also, I'm just saying, dude knows. Like, yeah, 100% even for further cultural context stuff, that's not out of place. Oh, no, because that is a solid method of practicing brush strokes. It is. Yeah. It's also a devotion thing and a commitment to the things go away. The whole, like, Sam Sarothig, when they write sand in like the big patterns, they're assuming it's not going to be there forever. Yeah. So it's why it's sand and the carvings. The boy and the girl return, they park the boat and they kind of awkwardly shift it. The old man's like, the boat's floating away. Yeah, because he's too distracted by, oh, very distracted. His new love or whatever to do his duty, which is, you know, we all know that you tie the boat up every time you park it. Right. The old man can summon the boat and get to land anyways. He's just being like, he's just like, and that's the way he could say, I'm mad without saying, right? Yeah, we're just like, pay a fucking attention. It's like Jesus. You're using protection, right? I'm my manager at this point. He's never really, I don't want to say discipline them because he sort of has an away, but he's always let him, I mean, he's letting him learn the lesson, even though he obviously could have stopped him from doing it. But if he did that, then there wouldn't be a lesson to learn, I thought so. Yeah, not sure that method worked out. I'm not saying it was a good one. I'm just saying what happened. Not for her. Anyway. So that night, he tries to exit the old room to get to the girl, but the old man is in the door. Yeah, because she's sleeping in the other room, another room, the old man is sleeping in the boys room. So so he breaks the boundaries. Yeah, and he goes around the right where the wall should be to go sneak into bed with her. Uh-huh. Which mind you, this is a room. So this is the second instance I have written down of every time that they promise that this naked girl will be on screen. This dude's non-ass shows up instead. It's like she opens up her blankets and is like shirts hanging down. And then he crawls toward her. So it has just his wiggling lack of ass on screen. And that is just, what are you telling me, Kim Duck? Consistently. Consistently every time. It's like new by a young girl will be naked soon. But look at this boy's ass. Literally, I was just like, there is absolutely no way that in one room, in the middle of a fucking lake, there's no way to have silent. Like exactly, you're not that, you know, you know, that guy was just pretending. Also, my notes contain some questions about the master uses a brick for a pillow or a wood plank. Yeah, you're all sleeping on the floor. But like, it's like, there are cushions. And like, if they own those things, but he's sleeping on like, is it like a suffering thing? Like, I don't know, it makes the body harder. There's actually a lot of cultures that will sleep on hard serve as was, okay. Um, so anyways, at this point, his pillow is like a solid rock. Yeah. At this point, he's doing everything for the Nookie, the whole soundtrack could have been lit biscuit. Some days, you don't want to wake up like that month later on. I think I wouldn't have finished this movie if a little soundtrack was all lit biscuit. The time period is correct. I think I would have hopped on the text to Jasmine and been like, nah, not this one. Try again. Oh, Jesus. Okay, not going to give me contemplative Buddhism with limp biscuit behind it. But what is that? I don't watch that. What is the sound of burn biscuit? Oh, man. One hand slapping. No meat. He took it there. He did. All the way. It's fine. I don't know what he said. Get excited. There's more to come next time in episode 201, which arguably is one increment more epic than episode 200. But it's not a fancy round number.
