Synopsis:
Eun-yi is an innocent young woman who is hired as an upper class family housemaid, and is tasked to take care of the family's small daughter and her... Eun-yi is an innocent young woman who is hired as an upper class family housemaid, and is tasked to take care of the family's small daughter and her pregnant mother, Hae-ra. Byung-sik is an older housemaid who has been with this family for a long time and holds many secrets. But soon enough, the master of the house, Hoon, takes advantage of his social position by slipping into the new housemaid's bed. Hoon's visits become frequent and Byung-sik reports the affair to Hae-ra's mother Mi-hee, who plots to give Hae-ra the control over her husband. Soon Eun-yi becomes pregnant by Hoon and wants to keep the baby. This is discovered by the family and Eun-yi is forced by Mi-hee to have an abortion despite the young woman's pleas to let her keep the baby and leave the house. Her forced abortion turns Eun-yi's already fragile mental condition for the worse and she decides to take the matter into her own hands.
Movie Review:
The background and rationale of the suicidal lady is unknown and it seems like nobody cares. Just before the opening chapter ends, Eun-yi stops by for a good look at the suicide scene of a chalk outlined figure on the tarmac road in deep thoughts.
From this point on, the film adopts a totally different style.
Eun-yi is employed as the second family housemaid to Hoon's family, where everything (including camera work) is polished and civilised. The family of three resides in a grand mansion that indicates abundant wealth, helmed by the master of the household, Hoon. Hae-ra, Hoon's wife, is pregnant with a second child and they also have a daughter who will go under the wing of her new nanny, Eun-yi.
In the beginning of Eun-yi's work in the family, the only negativity seems to be from the other older housemaid, Byung-sik, who appears to be strict with her training. Everything is sugar-coated with surface deep qualities that are commonly associated with middle and upper class societies. The hospitality of Hae-ra makes it even more nerve-soothing for Eun-yi and instills well prospects for her days to come, which is later a source of nausea-inducing reaction towards what Hae-ra becomes of.
This remains valid, until the infidelity of Hoon erotically manifested in a naive Eun-yi.
Erotism is played out well by Director Lim Sang-soo, where it is explicit in context that are subtly suggestive in visuals. It may be excitably enjoyable for some, however it is seen as a pleasurable sin that sows the seeds of evil that will grow ferociously within the family.
We see two forms of character transition after the infidelity in Byung-sik and Hae-ra. One struggles to emerge out of evil while the other falls into an ugly abyss. This is further aggravated by the strangely youthful and attractive mother of Hae-ra, which might be explained by how beauty has always been pursued by the men of wealth.
Wealthy men and their affinity with beautiful women.
Great performance by Seo Woo who plays Hae-ra as her wicked transition fueled by the twisted words of her mother is particularly painful to watch, especially when such ugliness lives underneath her skin of porcelain beauty. Together, both Hae-ra and her mother planned on hurting Eun-yi and her unborn child (the consequence of unprotected infidelity) to get rid of her in order to safeguard their status within the family.
Vengeance is only but what is expected upon driving one to utmost devastation.Eun-yi's method of getting back at the Hoon and his family is somewhat questionable, as it is seen as a statement making act of terror. However, the true effects of her revenge do not merely stop there. It surpasses them and relays to Hoon's next generation where his daughter becomes a changed mind after witnessing Eun-yi's act of vengeance. We get a hint of this in the closing noir scene of how Hoon's daughter is insensitive to her dysfunctional family at her outdoor birthday celebration.
This is (possibly) a simple act of linear intentions by Eun-yi. However its aftermath effects, though oblivious to her, are truly complex in nature and disturbingly powerful.
Points to bring back from The Housemaid are derivative of afterthoughts from the film, those that gradually consume you if you are not careful. It seems Eun-yi is the pure agent, whose neutrality is only matched by Hoon's daughter, who came from a lower class society trying to seek a better life in a higher society.
Wealth and success maybe an incentive in life that several seek, but greatness in life is far more superior and is rarely achieved. Perhaps the capitalistic world has truly blinded us from invaluable virtues. Everything in life requires a balance, an invisible boundary that is so easily to cross over without even realising.
It kept me in deep thoughts even upon leaving the theatre, I believe it will do the same for you too.
