There are more visitors than inhabitants wandering around in Doel. Some people come around to see the ghost town for themselves. A group of motorcyclists make loud noises and trespass into boarded up houses. The inhabitants calmly go about their daily lives, fulfilling various tasks and enjoying parties and pastimes. Compared to life in the city, their days are quiet and relaxed. The film’s opening sequence shows the rural landscape, which includes an empty TV screen, a car, a factory, and a lone cow. The people of Doel are not against development, but they do not want to have their current lifestyle destroyed. The film does nothing more than merely documenting the humble landscape of the village. Documentaries about European ghost towns have become a small trend recently. The waves of change sweeping across China share the same root as redevelopment in Europe. In both cases, it is more of a capitalist phenomenon than a social or urban problem. This humorous film mocks the vulgar idea that a village or a specific place can be traded, destroyed or replaced for profit. [LEE Yongcheol]
