Flowers on the roadside, mint candies, bicycles that keep going in circles, crazy military training, fake guns without bullets, are you watching the rain? Let's watch it together.

Willing to give the embarrassing process, the indifferent process, the distorted process, and the naked frankness to the audience.

Many times when the train is moving forward, the car is driving backwards, the bicycle is driving backwards, the tricycle is driving backwards, and people are walking backwards.

Life is beautiful, right? It seems to be far away from me, it seems to be very close, I don't know, it's still very strange, I shouldn't dare to watch it again in the future.

    It feels like "Poem", and Li Cangdong's characteristics are also obvious. Seven fragments, a man's life. How do we lose our kindness and authenticity little by little, how do we learn to face cruelty and cruelty little by little. At that moment, it was growing up. What a sad reality that has become an adult.

    Koreans have made so many movies about "things that can't be said in China". I thought it was just a film about a personal situation, so it was a bit of a surprise and a shock when it suddenly appeared; besides, the film was a great example of a structured narrative in flashbacks.

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.
