Possible Love (Personal Review)

Machine translated

Ultimately, Seol Kyung-gu was most deeply hurt by a fellow worker, while Jeon Do-yeon found Jo In-sung—who belongs to the class she struggles against—to be attractive, experiencing an excitement as intense as a first love while they were together. In the end, it seems both felt that the goals of their struggles were misplaced and, by extension, that their lives were unfair.
Nevertheless, they still direct their resentment solely toward the wealthy. Even though those wealthy individuals are hypocritical, they are the ones who give the most and try hardest to understand them. That resentment should actually be directed toward their fellow union members, but Seol Kyung-gu fails to do so and ends up destroying himself, while Jeon Do-yeon concludes that she cannot allow herself to be used by these people.
"Possible love" is only possible within one's own class. It is the irony of the heart opening only within that same class, even after being so thoroughly abandoned by it.
If their child was invited in the usual way, they wouldn't typically become close to a worker, but the reason they happened to become close to that specific person is because it was only possible with that person.
No matter how much hurt is endured, it is possible with some people,
yet even if one is the one causing the hurt, it is impossible with others.
I thought the film projected this thoroughly exclusive, selfish, and hypocritical "possible love" onto the working class. Rather than being a leftist, I actually felt Director Lee Chang-dong felt more like an instinctive right-winger.
