life and death

I don't really want to say much about the movie itself. Vendettas between gangsters, friendships between best friends, conversations between boring men, and love triangles that can't be flooded anymore. In Korean movies, many of them develop in these well-established plots. However, for the feelings in the middle, the description is more delicate.

Therefore, when I first watched "Friends", I went to Jang Dong Gun because he is my idol.

I am an idol worshiper, and like most people, I will always pursue indiscriminately the idols I like. Therefore, for Zhang, how much is no exception.

However, after watching it, I found that "Friends" is indeed a good work. Although Zhang's role in the movie is not the first, but because of his existence, the word "friend" is more deeply imprinted in my mind.

What impressed me the most in the whole movie was the shocking scene when Zhang died. For this scene, I found the soundtrack album to listen to. In the album, there is a piece of music for this scene, named "The Death of Dongzhu", which is the 16th song of the entire album. There was a time when I listened to this piece of music over and over again.

Some people watched the movie on my recommendation and then they told me it was too violent. Even when Dong-soo died, most people closed their eyes and turned off the sound. And after that, when I showed them the song "The Death of Dong Soo", they always shook their heads and refused.

All I can say is that it's a pity that they couldn't feel the charm of the music, and even in this kind of brutal killing, there was still a message that was conveyed, and that was the essence of the whole movie. However, too many people ignore this essence and only pay attention to the appearance.

This is a movie worth watching. If your emotions are delicate enough, if you are not afraid of bloody scenes, then you should watch it.
