The fallen petals began to fly up the trees, the running people were going backwards, the cars were going backwards, and memories were haunting them. Only forever time is moving forward, and no chance is given to those who turn back.
Look at those crushed mints
The train began a fragmented flashback with a hoarse "I want to go back". The sky has never been brighter, and the people who have been washed by the times have a gray curtain above their heads. Li Cangdong collected 20 years of cruelty so easily and slowly.
He treated the waitress vulgarly, treated his wife with indifference, treated the witnesses cruelly, dealt with the world sluggishly, and finally melted into a touch of despair - using all his strength to stand in the final scene, he did not admit defeat, he did not understand. The movie goes back to the end, and we only see a young man with gentle eyes, weak and kind. I have a collection of mints that my first love carries in every letter, and I want to take pictures of unknown flowers. But by the fatal changes of time, he has become a despised social animal.
Soul crushed by the times
The film is actually about the destruction of a person. Holding the gun hesitantly: "There are so many people who have ruined my life, which one should I kill?"
A person's life is made up of you and thousands of past you. It is these thousands of you who have destroyed yourself. The crushed mint in the movie is like a preview of the protagonist facing a crush. So easy, so fragile. And under the erosion of the times, how can these destructions be worth mentioning? People and times have always apologized to each other. What really crushed his life was the young girl who shot and killed in the political context. Anyone who has a little knowledge of Korean history should know that the girl who was accidentally killed in the Gwangju incident in South Korea is not one person, but all the lives that were accidentally killed by dictatorship and political mistakes. And those survivors who witnessed, and even participated in, survived only physically. All he can only ask over and over again: Is life beautiful?
Don't look back on the wind and dust, and there will be no lover since then.
There is no mint candy that will not expire, but there are unforgettable love and dust, and the people in the dust. In the memory there is still her shy face following the military vehicle, and the smell of mints she gave. Li Cangdong's films make people feel that no scene is superfluous. This is not only a film of historical repentance, a record of a person's survival and death, but also a less commendable love film. I want to go back, but can't go back, I want to go back. Back to the first retrospective picture - the camera. He destroyed the undeveloped film, because too good memories were too dazzling for the self who sold the camera after changing hands. He felt guilty and could not forgive such a self. Finally climbed the track. At the end of the film, the sun shines on his face, and tears fall. This familiar dream is just a kind of thought and sustenance outside the film, even if the beloved girl did not follow, but you at that time had the ability to Countless futures.
