In the Kim Ki‐dukʹs film The Isle (2000), we can witness to the cruel and lovely at the same time meeting between a man wounded by his own violence and a silent woman who manages a small watery world, that is a metaphor of the terrible fight between life and death. The film, slowly and implacably, shows us the feminine symbolic of nature, water, animal and human being in a cruel and saving characterization of which takes advantage the male principal character to heal his wounds and make his transformation.
