In the early moments of the film, there is a disturbing close-up shot of ants crawling over the dead climber\u2019s eye. The ants are attracted to the decay, breaking them down further \u2014 suggesting a corruption of sight and seeing. There are echoes of Luis Bu\u00f1uel\u2019s An Andalusian Dog<\/i>\u00a0all over Park\u2019s film, particularly in their similar obsession with eyes and the ideological parallels between sight and the visual ontology of cinema itself. [\u2026] On the surface, eyes represent openness, allowing living things to access and assess others \u2014 the proverbial \u201cwindows\u201d to other souls. However, in\u00a0Decision to Leave<\/i>, Park instead suggests that eyes are equally capable of deceit through their ability to manipulate and surveil. *<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
