#1 Dark Train POV Long Shot: The Opening - Candle

Lenovo: Li Changdong said that a writer's creation is a candle in the dark

#2 The group scene before the death of the corpse under the bridge [The joys and sorrows of human beings are not connected]

In the summer of 1993, he rushed into the emerald green river while the numb people on the outing danced wildly.

#3 The close-up of the shouting on the railway to freeze the title of the film

#4 The sea in front of the car window

# The train running in the rain

#To Alice, a door-to-door visit at night (dog licking gesture) [Single Shot Scheduling]

#rain hut, yellow light silhouette, humble unlock

The leaky hut, he held a gun as if he was drunk, laughed and scolded until he cried.

#On the green grass slope, he took off his clothes [Burning, Liu Yaren]

#hospital visit?

Holding a POV long mirror: he entered the ward and tried carefully

The mint imagery debuts.

Low camera fixed shot: how to simply shoot the relationship between the three people in front of the hospital bed

Slowly Advance: Tears of a Vegetative (His First Love)

On the stairs, he stumbled away (Lao Xu cried when he saw this)

#Warm light in the night, the train is speeding, and he is sobbing

#Overpasses that appear more than once, speeding cars [time is passing]

#Hotel Catching Rape: Slightly leaning over the single camera, the lover sitting still, the naked wife rushing out of the picture, being bombarded [Monkey play under fixed camera, embarrassment, anger]

#night color car shock, female upper position [taken from the window, the train is speeding away from the painting, the yellow light reflects the window, he looks out of the painting]

——Whenever changes, the train flies

#public toilet, pee together, he said to him: life is beautiful [the mirror reflects them, those who don’t understand leave, he stands blankly]

#night, on the way forward, she fed him mints

#family dinner, christian wife praying, his cold eyes

#Barbershop, Back in the Mirror: Naked Myung-sik

#police station, slap Mingzhi (slowly shaking in, two people talking)

#shake over the newspaper,myungsik's naked ass,waterboarding

#KTV, he sings

#In the car in the rain, talk about the first love. swaying wipers, melting, dark

#rainynight, hair salon flirting, he muttered to himself

Rainy night street, from door to door, take umbrella

Shaking close, two people after the fact, naked, separated souls

Yellow light sprinkled on their bodies, he cried, she cried too [beautiful and sad]

#walking in the countryside, watching colleagues fight, hillside violence, speeding train: the lens changes from his objective to subjective

#police station, being disciplined to commit violence

Naked tied man as he tries to beat him

#night shop, a lot of laughter

He is like a trapped beast, spinning around on a bicycle, with nowhere to vent the nameless fire in his heart, rushing into the restaurant, revolving around the table, making trouble (the camera is close to him at the end, out of focus, roaring: with this heart)

#long shoot:

#Break mirror, fiancee's prayer before sex, she is immersed in Christ, his indifference, the two are estranged, the black scene

#The end of each chapter is the point of view of the speeding train

#1980 The first love came to the army to meet him. Long shot before departure, chaos, beatings, crushed mints

#Truck goes away, the crazy men laugh, she stands in the yellow sand, he wants to cry but has no tears, pov: She is getting farther and farther, can't keep up, his beauty, so far away

#night crackdown. Depressed physically and mentally, his legs hurt, he was left alone, in a panic, he accidentally shot the female student

Good dynamic design: teammates rushing in in the background, the flashlight shines on his face, he collapses and weeps, black field. Like being on stage, playing a role he doesn't want to play - but unfortunately, he will continue to suffer in the future...

#Riverside at the beginning of the summer of 1979

In college, she gave him mints

At that time, everyone was young and singing softly

He had the crowd, lay down comfortably and looked at the sky

At that time, he was still young. I don't know that the speeding train is about to crush his "mints".

(off-screen train whistling, frozen on his heavily empty face)

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.
