First
In the spring of 1999, Kim Yong-ho, who was completely desperate for life, stood on the railroad tracks and shouted loudly: "I want to go back." The train in front came over and hit his life.
Time will always go forward, just like a running train runs along its own track, the scenery passing by is different, and the traces of rolling will be washed away by the heavy rain. It takes away the people of this era, and can return to meet a new era. , but life is a one-way ticket, and we should all get off at the end.
The movie uses a flashback narrative technique, and the fate of the characters is unpredictable. From the state of madness to suicide by lying on the rails, what kind of pains he has experienced in his life, and he wants to be reborn to find his original self.

It is not only time that destroys a person, but the abuse of this person by history and society is beyond doubt. As a soldier, he was innocently injured in action and accidentally killed a female student, which was the trigger for the tragedy of his life. The pain of innocent victims and the guilt of manslaughter are the fundamental reasons for this character's complete despair.
Jin Yonghao's life is worthy of sympathy, and his experience can also resonate with the audience, but this character is really unpleasant, even a bit hateful. When he was on the verge of despair, on that rainy night, he tried to lift He shot to end his own life, but he was unwilling to change his posture. He came to this world and left so alone. He attributed his tragedy to external factors.
When he saw that the criminals he had arrested were happier than him, and had lovely children by his side, while he was poor, his family was broken, and the contrast was getting stronger and stronger, his personality was also collapsing.
The director imposed the worst influences brought by this society on this character, and unfortunately, he himself did not want to believe in the beauty of life, but chose to use violence to solve the problems in front of him when life was unsatisfactory. question.
After he became a policeman, he saw that his colleagues treated prisoners so brutally. He was originally indifferent, but under the influence of others, he began to use violence himself. As a result, he hated his dirty hands until his first love, Shunren, came again. Find him and talk about his favorite hands back then.
The arrangement of these two plots is undoubtedly the biggest irony for Jin Yonghao. He can't forgive his cruelty in his heart, and he can't accept Shunren's love, because he is no longer the simple self he used to be. He stroked the legs of other women with both hands, and left in despair. He also married someone he didn't like.
Shunren's departure means that Jin Yonghao can no longer believe that his life will have a better side. He deviates from his original direction again and again, and his irritability in character can't solve any problems in his life at all, he just forced himself to be him. The most annoying thing, the most hateful thing, is that he keeps hurting the people around him. After the wife was pregnant, they didn't care at all. On the day they moved to the new house, they fought with the wife in front of everyone. The wife cheated with the driver. After beating the wife violently, he took his lover to dinner.
Because of Shunren's death, he understood that there was no emotional sustenance in this world, and even the last hope was shattered. The box of mints was placed beside Shunren's bed, and Jin Yonghao put the last bit of sweetness in life. Left to a former lover.
It's not so much the society's malicious changes to him, it's more that his fragile character can't resist the misfortune of life and he voluntarily gave up his trust in the good. In addition, the director gave the worst side of life to this character, and the people around him. It is more tragic than that.
And the director's other film "Miryang", the protagonist Li Shen Ae lost his dearest son in a kidnapping case and was devastated. By joining Christianity, he began to believe in God, regained the hope of life, and struggled between revenge and disillusionment , and finally came out of the pain. Haruki Murakami wrote in his book: "There seem to be many places like "gap" in the whole world. As long as you are lucky and find a "gap" that suits you, you can survive."
Li Shenai found the gap in her life under the pain that followed. Perhaps it was Zong Can's kindness that infected her, or her belief supported her to see where the sun was dense. It's just that Jin Yonghao is not so lucky, because he didn't find the gap that suits him, and he lost his way on the road that deviates from his original intention.

Peppermint is an important prop for Kim Yong-ho to express his feelings in the film, and it is also an image symbol that promotes the plot and reflects the fate of the characters.
Shunren, who works in a sugar factory, produces mints, which is Jin Yonghao’s favorite thing. When he went to the army, Shunren would send him a mint every time he wrote to him, and he kept it in a box. During the emergency operation, he accidentally knocked over the box of candy and was stepped on under his feet, then missed the meeting with Shunren, and finally killed the fleeing female student by mistake.
The plot is tightly arranged so that the characters have no chance to breathe, and the initial fuse is detonated step by step, making the young youth lose the token of love overnight, face the fear of death, and bring irreparable guilt Live on.
When he was young, Jin Yonghao went on an outing with his classmates. At that time, he met Shunren when he was young and shy. He saw that the wild daisies growing out of the cracks in the stones were full of vitality. He wondered where the future was. Hearing the roar of the train passing by in my ear, I couldn't help shedding tears. At that moment, it seemed like I saw my whole life. There are twenty springs, summers, autumns and winters between them, but that day seems to be yesterday.

The icy wheels have crushed the ideals and beliefs of the person who is full of expectations for the future, but the train will not stop, and life will not start all over again.
The film uses flashback narrative techniques to be truly cruel. It separates people's life layer by layer, thinks about the source of tragedy, touches the epidermis of the times, witnesses the cruelty of time, and appreciates the indifference of life.
It turned out how terrifying the future was when we saw it at a glance. Even though he saw it, he still went against his original intention and went to perish. We always fantasize that life can be repeated, but when this idea flashes, we no longer believe in the beauty of life. . The flashback of life is like a poetic disaster, and at the end, it is necessary to sing the sad song of life and call out the hope of rebirth.
