Beautifully filmed but in the end the film is simply about a cheating love affair
The Housemaid tells an erotic tale of seduction, affair and scheming people all out to get their own way. Do-yeon Jeon plays Eun-Yi Li who is hired as a maid for an extravagant rich family – the wife is currently pregnant with two twin boys, they already have a little daughter and the husband is a very business businessman but just so happens to have time to fool with many women (supposedly) and one of them…surprise! just happens to be Eun-Yi.The storyline is pretty typical and you can see where things will go so it didn’t come as a surprise to me at all. What the film touches on is the schemes of the high class society in terms of their lifestyle and thinking that money can usually solve their problems. It also touches on the fact that the upper class often have not a lot of time on their hands – but not much really to do with it to entertain themselves.
The flaw of this film is that the main character of Eun-Yi – I didn’t particularly sympathise with her. I guess it is because I found her decisions a bit stupid and you didn’t really know much about her besides the fact that she was of lower class and really likes kids. In fact, I sort of didn’t really hate the wife of the husband as she was actually quite decent to Eun-Yi, though you obviously can see that she is a victim in terms of her husband’s infidelities.
One character that stood out for me was Miss Cho – who is the head housemaid in the mansion. You first see her as a very strict, no nonsense type of woman but during the film you see how she also is highly observant (typical butler/maid nosiness) and also has her fair share of mixed feelings towards the inhabitants of the house.
Now for the ending – won’t spoil anything here. I can see why some people feel that the ending doesn’t really do the film justice – I agreed at first but the more you think about it – the more the message is there. The ending I think really gets its message in the fact that the upper class can easily forget things and get on with their repetitive lives thinking they are on top and their materialism will drown out all bad memories or problems. The ending certainly won’t work for some and while I feel more could have been put into it, it certainly does leave an impression the more you think about it.
The film is not perfect – a lot of decisions Eun-Yi makes didn’t really make me feel empathetic due to the fact that I think she isn’t a highly likable character nor a partcularly interesting one – they are sort of card board cut outs in my opinion.
Overall however, this is simply a film about a love affair and the consequences of it – I don’t blame you if you watch this and you feel like ‘this is something I’ve seen before too many times’.
