more than just a disaster movie
Nellie 2022-09-17 18:58:49
A little bit of hope again and again, like a life-saving straw for a desperate person, only to burst like a bubble after a second. What the child saw when he woke up was a cloudy sky, such clear eyes, and such a cloudy sky. I have seen the disgusting and sordid aspects of human nature, and I have also seen insubordination. We hate the government's corruption and are tired of the government's irresponsible nonsense, but in China, no one dares to make a movie that satirizes the government like this, and even if it were made, it would not pass the trial. This isn't just a disaster movie.
Extended Reading
-
Officer: Your daughter, Park Hyun-seo, a seventh grader at Dangsan Middle School. She's on the deceased list.
Park Gang-Du: Yeah, she goes to Dangsan School... she's deceased... but she's not dead.
[the officer laughs]
Park Gang-Du: I mean, she died, but she's still alive.
Officer: Now you're talking in circles.

Park Nam-Joo: [wiping away tears] She's so pretty in that photo.
Park Hie-bong: She looks just like... her mom in that photo.
Park Nam-Joo: Do you think her mom even knows that she died?
Park Hie-bong: Not a chance. It's been thirteen years since she popped out the baby and ran off.
Park Nam-il: [glares over at Gang-du, who is sprawled out on the gym floor, fast asleep and snoring gently] I'd run away, too, damn it.
[to Gang-du]
Park Nam-il: You asleep? Huh?
[He prods Gang-du with his foot, but Gang-du doesn't stir]
Park Hie-bong: Nam-il.
Park Nam-il: [to Gang-du] You can sleep at a time like this?
Park Hie-bong: What are you doing to your brother?
