When the man who broke in on the rainy night asked the male protagonist if you remember xxx (the name of Wen Suli's character), the male protagonist did not respond for a while. Did he forget it under the weight of life, or did he pretend not to remember, or did xxx never matter to him? Li Cangdong drove the train back, and the falling flowers flew back to the branches and the flowing water went up the hillside. Perhaps it was only a few moments that decided the fate of the protagonist. In the movie theater, I think the protagonist is always cowardly. Every decision he makes is close to obedience. His violence and power over the weaker are nothing but fear and mechanical obedience to the superiors. But now I feel that only the moment when the host publicly shoots and kills the female student is the only decisive moment. Since then, he has fallen into the abyss and every action after that is actually a kind of denial of his own humanity and affirmation of his own guilt, almost revenge. own repetition. The gentle and gentle college student dreams of becoming a photographer, and his softness can be easily felt. So the tough unconditional obedience of the army It was obviously contrary to his personality. When he shot, he shouted to run, run, run, which was undoubtedly his true thoughts, but the footsteps of other soldiers kept approaching, he was afraid, he made his own forever. I can't forgive myself for the behavior that made myself irreversible, but it is so easy to implement, just gently pull the index finger back. The character of "Bang" Wen Suli had seen her that day, and the image of a female student was also mistaken for Wen Suli's character at the beginning. Deep in his heart, he must have felt that this was a kind of betrayal, and he must have hated himself very much. And his own cowardice, I thought, that was the heart motive of his whole fate, that he wanted to distance himself from the pure and hopeful world symbolized by Moon So-ri's character, that he wished to be a born villain and not a cowardly one. Kind people, the latter will suffer too much pain in the self-fighting. From then on, he started to run away, became a policeman and gave up being a photographer, married a girl he didn't like hastily and drove her away in a very rude and hurtful way when the role of Moon Suri came back, and he beat her as a rookie policeman The suspect is more vicious than any veteran. He beats his wife and lover and plays the role of a romantic outsider. He hates dogs. It turns out that he is the real "dog". He's self-destructive like Travis in Taxi Driver, but this one gives us the source of our hero's self-destructiveness. Therefore, on the rainy night when he wanted to commit suicide, he obviously ruined his life, but sincerely complained about the injustice of fate, which shows that he was completely plunged into chaos. He really forgot the role of Wen Suli and all the other possibilities it symbolized. This is the result of his escapism. The escapable forgetting does not bring peace but only pain from unknown source. Then he met Wen Suli's character, and the thread of fate finally emerged in his mind. He must have walked into the depths of time like a flashback in the film. At the end, there was a circle of songs and dances on the grass, and the first lovers were secretly secreting each other. Aiming and snickering, he walked not far to hear the train rumble looking at the vast sky - the taste of mints.

    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 are time-sensitive, there is still a question mark.

    "Mints" has the same ingenuity and deliberate structure. This kind of pure flashback method is not suitable at first, but the narrative of the small unit is methodical. At the beginning, there was a heart-cracking "I want to go back to the past" confusion. With the backward shooting, the kind of heart-cracking has turned into a hazy teary eye.
