    A man's ordinary epic on how the trauma of Gwangju wilted a young dick After watching this film, I understand Lao Xu#Rewind Chronicle structure, very writer, very film scene scheduling Calm and classical, very solid, to study hard is to have The "movie novel" with ingenious chapter-return structure also completely depicts the stance of a trapped beast in the shadow of history escaping in a hurry. Both points are in line with what I want. ✓ The dramatic counterpoint brought about by running...

    Too fatalistic. There is no longer the sympathy when it is irreversible. The half-length trench coat is overwhelming. In the end, it became an accusation of a poor dagger. Politics turns people into ghosts. Of course, the Asian-style counterattack mechanism is also of interest. The hospital bridge admitted to being infected. The train background arrangement is too deliberate, a little boring. In addition, although the arrangement of the human body seems to be natural, it is always.... (lost in...

    8.0/10. After reading it, it's like a dismantled Korean version of "A Splendid Life". Because there are too many blank spaces between the stories, it does not make the audience feel very hard. There are still beautiful parts of life, but some are not noticed and are easily fleeting. The bitter past will also become eternal in the memory. What the director wants to talk about is the changes of human nature in the current social situation. PS: After 78 minutes, there are many long shots including...

    The film's use of train imagery is unrestrained, so to speak. A story in reverse order that emphasizes time so repeatedly, the blade of time is too sharp, and the transformation of people is completely changed. In 20 years, a person has gone from being kind to cruel and heartless to collapse and despair. After three-quarters of the story, Li Cangdong took us to explore the root cause. The "Gwangju Incident" has affected a generation, and this one is more inclined to the latter, whether in the...

    Time rewinds frame by frame, tracing how the innocent and innocent teenager became a cold and greasy uncle. Twenty years of Korean society and politics have also been brought to the scene. The system is cruel, the time is cruel, and the form and content are perfectly combined. Some of the clips are a little overdone, and they are considered restrained in the overall Korean film. Li Cangdong's film preparations are all...

    A Korean movie that's not stereotyped at all. This form of an image + flashback in each era feels very...

    Director Lee Chang-dong slowly flashed back a period of time that affected Yong-ho's life, 20 years under the camera. Haruhi's outing, Gwangju incident during brutal military service, unbearable prayer, forbearance confession, bankruptcy, suicide... A fringe The transmutation of characters becomes more and more ruthless under the history and time, but the most despairing thing is that the pale mint has become the terminator of all good...

    As a result, the frustrated and mad middle-aged man ran wildly. The structure of flashbacks shakes out a little bit of the past. The chronicle of South Korea for 20 years is condensed into the external cause of the transformation of characters. From people, people can see society, and society can return to people. Knowing that the broken life cannot be repaired again, but still trying to find a moment to go astray. The setting of returning to the clear, bright and spotless starting point step...

    How many years has South Korea made a truly touching film? In the current impetuous environment, can Director Li still do...

    It took 22 years to watch this movie, which went back 20 years and told the story of why the building collapsed. I was still empathetic and incompetent, which further deepened my prejudice against Korean movie characters, as well as Koreans who are always emotional in...

    20 years later, before committing suicide, he still can't forget the taste of that mint

    In 1987, bid farewell to spring.

    On the rainy night of arresting the prisoner, Kim Yong-ho came to Gunsan, a remote town.

    He joked with police colleagues in the car, "Here is my first love".

    Colleagues laughed at him, "You talk to every woman about your first love."

    Jin Yonghao smiled and did not...

    Fortunately, there is despair

    The final ending of this film, that is, the beginning of the film is a cold despair, a man desperately howling in the river, committing suicide on the railroad tracks, and then slowly unfolding the process of his gradual despair, the mints that he loved to keep when he was young , and the mints...

Peppermint Candy quotes

  • Yongho: Do you think life's beautiful?

  • Yongho: I don't want to die alone. I need one bastard to come with me. Just one bastard among all that ruined my life. But then... Who should I kill? It gives me hard time, you know. To pick just one is hard thing to do. The fucking stock broker who made me go clean broke? The vampire like loan shark that charged the ridiculous interest? Or... how about the business partner who run away with my money? Or should I take my ex-wife and my kid to die with me? There're so many fuckers in my life that it's hard to pick just one.
