The protagonist collapses, and the film flashback begins. A better way to understand how politics shapes people is to compare the film with the history of Korea. Of course, this is not a personal conjecture, but a reminder from the film's author: he divides the film into several sections with time and themes - outing in 1979, meeting in 1980... . It is related to the post-war US suppression of South Korea, the dictatorship of South Korea, the Gwangju Incident, the student movement, the 1987 National Democracy Movement, and the Asian Financial Crisis. It seems that we can understand the source of the "blood and tears" of the Korean people, as a small country with few people. Manipulation by major powers and the relative lack of resources have completely crushed the protagonist. The cool mint is one of the three thousand that the heroine packs every day. It is a product of the capitalist production system, but it has the warmth and meaning of love. When Lee Chang-dong watched the tragedy of the Korean people, he also pointed out the way of self-help for South Korea. In this way, the so-called "subjectivity" of North Korea is not the extreme expansion of a certain person, but the true portrayal of this nation and the basis for its survival.
Peppermint is a poem by Li Changdong.
