7 deadly sins in Samaria?
Hi everyone,
my first post on imdb :)
I don't know if you recognized it but while watching Samaria the second time I really felt reminded of the seven deadly sins:
the first one, "Lust" isn't very hard to detect:
it is represented as well by all of the "customers" as well as by a few other people such as the mate of the protagonist's father. (-> the scene in the restaurant)
the "Envy" could be shown by Yeo-Jin's jealousy concerning all of the customers ( "don't ask them about their jobs" etc..) and as I think mostly important by the jealousy in the relation Jae-Yeong + musician.
"Sloth/Laziness": probably the weakest point in my theory but think about some of the scenes with Yeo-Jin (when father wakes her up "uhh, don't wanna take the test" blabla) or her father (when they get stuck in the mountains -> father smokes cigarette and falls asleep instead of pushing the stones away)
"Pride": cf the musician's character, the guy in the restaurant defending his girls way too jaunty.
"Gluttony": not sure about that one neither but try to remember the scene in which the father starts eating way too much Sushi as he can in fact swallow. I have no other idea which else symbolic function this scene could have.
"Greed": Shown in details (father having a greed for cigarettes+beer ;)
But somehow I think that Yeo-Jin's father is avaricious concerning controll over his daughter (the climax of his desire for controll -> Yeo-Jin's dream, he's killing her and even when being dead he still cares for her as he did just all the years before(cd-player))
"Wrath": the father-plot:he had been killing people although he might have been able to solve the whole conflict without using violence.
tell me what you think about that theory ( I know it isn't that airtight but maybe it can be an inspiration for a different interpretation ) and if you have any other ideas/examples agreeing or disagreeing with my ideas.
Bye,
