Lady Vengeance- Big Atonement for Big Sins

I liked how this film emphasized the belief of "big atonement for big sins". The final scene with the tofu reminded me of the quote from Macbeth- "Out damned spot! Out I say!". No matter what all Geum-ja does to fix what happened in the past, nothing can get rid of her guilt or replace her innocence. Nothing is going to bring back the dead children, or her peace of mind. It was like she was trying to surround herself with white, suffocate herself with pureness, but the knowledge and heaviness of all that she has done still remains. It seems that the only innocent thing left in her life is her daughter, Jenny.
