      [Films [Film Review] On the Beach at Night Alone (2017) 7.8/10

      Your mileage may vary, but for this reviewer's money, one's appreciation of South Korean auteur Hong Sang-soo is an acquired taste, veering from a vapid non-starter IN ANOTHER COUNTRY (2004), which more or less flounders in its rigid formality where connotations are lost in translation, to RIGHT NOW, WRONG THEN (2015), a revitalizing two-hander that redefines film's narratological possibilities, and...

      self-deception

      "Alone on the Beach at Night"

      Playful, frivolous and heavy. Around love, around worthy of love. "What I want is to follow my inner yearning, become strong, and be worthy of myself no matter what." I said that I can play and do what I want, but in the end I still regret what I have done, it hurts, But the joy and true feelings at that time are still lingering, like two ropes that are tied to each other. The whole story actually revolves around one sentence: "How can such a big man...

      actor propped up movie

      I was going to give it three stars, but after all, the movie is still forbearing, so I added one star, because even in the final movie, it didn't shoot the incestuous love between the actor and the married director.

      This movie was marked very early. It should have been when I watched the wine country last year. The same heroine, Jin Minxi. The relationship between the movie and the actors is really strange. I can't say who is more important, maybe it's the right fit. In the end, it's a...

      I want to be alone at the beach

      While watching it, I seemed to have a lot of thoughts. After reading it, it seemed that all my thoughts stopped abruptly, and I forgot to say what to say. In a word, I seem to like the day-to-day life of a person who says something random and casual, and when everyone sits around and says something like "None of them are qualified to be loved". Emotions. Kim Min-hee was almost calm in it, but I liked the gentle tone of her voice when she was lying on the beach and was woken up by someone....

      alone by the sea at night

      Alone by the sea at night!

      Lonely and arrogant just like the title, I am lonely at the seaside, and the seaside is a little cool at night, but I still think that if everyone doesn't understand, then let me stay by the seaside quietly.

      The loneliness when drinking with friends, the loneliness when lying on the beach alone, the loneliness when confronting the director, the loneliness when one is like a deer rushing around in the world, the loneliness of ordinary people who are...

      ①It really is "art comes from life"! Is Hong Sang Soo afraid that some people don't know about his affair with Kim Min Hee? ②The minimalist Hong Shangxiu is like a low-profile version of Rohmer: Rohmer has meticulously crafted every work, and this film is more like the product of Hong Shangxiu's hasty completion. ③I want to talk to Almodovar about the truth of women and Hong Sang-soo about the hypocrisy of...

    Movie quotes

    • Jun-hee: Are you still searching for love?

      Young-hee: Where's love? It's not even visible. You need to see it in order to search for it.

    • Young-hee: You can't love, so you cling to life, right?

    • Sang-won: When you love, you must, in your reasoning about that love, start from what is highest, from what is more important than happiness or unhappiness, or that sin or virtue in their accepted meaning, otherwise you must not reason at all.
