    What's scary is not a tragic ending What's scary is knowing that the point is despair and being forced to go through every moment on this...

    The reverse annealing car is strung together with time segments, showing the life of a pure and artistic young man who was tortured to the point of being lost and insane under the shadow of the social system. He is like a pure mint, fragile, fragile and easily polluted. The flashback made the depression even more violent, and the tears under the train bridge echoed as if the sins and regrets had really ended and returned to the...

    Going upstream with an attitude, the source of the violent catharsis has been cleaned up, and the audience's participation has been expanded to choose interaction (who should be killed) and emotional tracking (whether it makes sense to start over). Not as good as (lame chasing the murderer, tears from the bridge); but whether such a fragmented narrative style with a large number of blanks fully conveys the original idea, and whether the splicing clips with excessive purpose in the later stage...

    God, it's a movie from the turn of the century, it's the movie we watched at the beginning of the century, and Xue Jingqiu is the young men at the beginning of the century. Fortunately, watching it now, in my 20s, I can't cry and...

    It was a kind of heart-wrenching despair, and when a person was caught in a situation where he couldn't control his thoughts, everything was meaningless to him. What Li Cangdong is brilliant is that he uses the technique of segmented flashbacks to gradually enlarge the source of pain. It was not until the end of the movie, when he saw the tears of the male mainstream, that he realized the beauty, love, and photography he longed for at that time... How it was slowly swallowed by reality in the...

    #Director# In addition to winning awards, Lee Changdong's films are also widely acclaimed for their detailed descriptions and criticisms of contemporary Korean life. "I didn't actually intend to criticize Korean society in the film," said Lee Chang-dong, "I just wanted to talk about people themselves and their lives. However, the real environment around a person cannot be unique. Such as environment, policies and History and so on, because no one can live completely out of the real world. I...

    Fixed! Fixed! Evil is all karma, and an individual cannot be alone. This truth is not only filmed by Li Cangdong. Li's literary structure and irreproducible narrative form here organize the fragility and unfreedom of personal will. It traces every key moment that leaves the male lead deeply lost, does he really have other options? Twenty years of reversing journeys, profound reflections before the millennium, and another twenty years, the power of reasoning is still...

    Imagine turning the dial of life, trying to change the hour hand and start over. And so the story begins: suicide; shut out by his wife, coerced by loan sharks, cheated by friends; for his wife who commits adultery, he simply blames; for the girl at the roadside hotel, he hesitates; A student, he has a dilemma; for his first love, he takes pity on himself; finally the story ends. There is no difference whether it is a prelude upstream or a time upstream. Because in the life of crime and...

    All Dongya people will cry after watching it, the violence of the country overwhelms the individual, the mob who survives in the trauma of violence, only has the language of violence, who is the bastard who ruined his...

    Love the dust, don't look back

    The fallen petals began to fly up the trees, the running people were going backwards, the cars were going backwards, and memories were haunting them. Only forever time is moving forward, and no chance is given to those who turn back.

    Look at those crushed mints

    The train began a fragmented flashback...

    Kim Young Ho's Life:

    The riverside where he met his first love is exactly where Kim Yong-ho lost his life. The first acquaintance was shy and throbbing. Yin Shunren gave him the mints she packed in the factory every day. The flowers, everyone sits and sings together, the eyes of the two meet from...

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.
