Kim Young Ho's Life:
The riverside where he met his first love is exactly where Kim Yong-ho lost his life. The first acquaintance was shy and throbbing. Yin Shunren gave him the mints she packed in the factory every day. The flowers, everyone sits and sings together, the eyes of the two meet from time to time, everything is so beautiful. It's a pity that this is the end of the movie, which is more sad than the beginning.
When he was in the army, his first love would always write to him as a soldier, and there would always be a mint in the letter. The cool and cool mint was pure feelings for Jin Yonghao and that tender girl. But the ruthless war started, and the Gwangju incident changed this man's life forever. When he left for Gwangju, packing his luggage in a panic, he threw mints all over the ground, was ruthlessly reprimanded by the superior, and was ruthlessly trampled on by his colleagues. Here is what I see very much. In an uncomfortable place (that kind of expression is very natural, but it makes people look particularly distressed), he lost his beloved mint. In the following time, he lost his pure soul. On the dark railroad tracks, his eyes were full of fear and panic. He was crying as he said that his boots were soaked in water (the acting was amazing). When I saw a shoe full of blood poured out of the boots, my heart hurts. Ah (Li Cangdong's expression is really special and can pierce people's hearts), and then killed an innocent girl by mistake, he hugged her and cried all the time, the light of the flashlight hit his face, his eyes full of tears Filled with helplessness and guilt (the performance here is super good!!) The ignorant teenager has been baptized by the army and war, and for the first time has been polished by the world.
Later became a police officer. Using violence to force prisoners to confess, at this time, he has lost his soul, and he lives like a mission, using his fists to fulfill the way of survival. Until that fresh and pure woman like mint reappears, he avoids her, she is a beauty that someone like him can't touch, he is already very dirty, he thinks like this, and put his hand bluntly on the thigh of the restaurant girl superior. Yin Shunren lowered his head and said nothing. He took her to the train station and returned the camera to her before leaving. Everything seems to be light, but this is the acquiescence of the distinction.
During the mission, I came to Gunsan again and walked into a tavern. There was tell lura I love her in the pub. Kim Yong Ho said that my first love lived in Gunsan. Even though I couldn’t see her, I was in the same rain as her. , the woman in the tavern said can I be the woman you're looking for tonight? On the bed of the woman in the mountains, she persuaded her several times. He gently told her to take care of her. Tears were streaming down her face. The woman also cried. She said she understood.
Resigned from the police to run a business, messing around with the secretary but beating up Hong Xing's wife who was out of the wall. The financial crisis was cheated by a work partner into bankruptcy, divorced from his wife, and lived in a dilapidated shed in the countryside. Today, the head of the bed is leaking, and the end of the bed is leaking tomorrow. Only when someone related to the woman showed up, he went to see her one last time and brought a jar of mints with him. The most ironic thing is that he sold the camera in order to survive. What was the reason for his suicide? It should be the woman who looks like a mint. I was already broken, and the more I longed for the pure beauty of the past, so he roared hysterically, and before the train passed, the last scene stopped on his painful face, and he shouted: I want to do it all over again.
Xue Jingqiu's acting skills are really amazing, there are many places where he acts super well! Li Cangdong's natural presentation gives a real sense of pessimism. Flashbacks would be unremarkable, but in this film, tracing the man's life as the train goes backwards, uncovering the truth and trying to find the origins of the tragedy, is far more engaging and cruel than the main narrative. His mania, violence, rejection and tears are all explained one by one on the way back, and the most pitiful thing is that this explanation has a kind of force majeure, the trajectory of a man walking in the torrent of social history is powerless, this sense of sadness too heavy. The most ridiculous and sad thing is that the end of the movie is where it all started. That kind of purity has a sense of unreality and also a sense of destruction, just like Kim Yong Ho said: Do you really think life is beautiful? The green locomotive carries away the sterile dream, the broken soul, the fate that cannot escape the track, and still wants to start over.
