A little "Once Upon a Time in America" flavor, but only a little bit. It's basically a gangster story, but in essence it's two completely different perspective paths.
This film doesn't focus much on the things on the road, and more on the four friends. From the relationship between each other, it deeply analyzes Korean humanistic feelings. In fact, some of South Korea's cultural habits are very similar to Japan, and even the country that "protects" them is the same country, so in the Asian cultural circle, South Korea and Japan are always very similar, but South Korea has also experienced a period of Japanese aggression, although They are neighbors across the sea, but their relationship is not harmonious.
It is very rare to have friends who can play from childhood to adulthood. Thinking back to my childhood years, there were no friends left at that time. One was because there were no such convenient social tools as mobile phones at that time, and the other was that there was no mutual friend. A particularly deep bond. Or maybe I'm more suitable for living in a corner and enjoying myself. The incompatibility of human beings is a waste of life.
I thought again that the problem was probably the issue of being withdrawn by nature.
"In any organization, you can't be promoted by doing whatever you want." This is also the golden rule for the development of human society to this day. Without the pyramid structure of the upper and lower layers, without a hierarchical division of labor, the structure is loose and it is difficult to be efficient. The most likely outcome would be disbanding and chaos.
Several protagonists have their own performances. They tried their best, but the effect of the overall story background is not good, a little too weak, and there is no sense of existence. There is a lack of echoes with the main story, and there is not much in-depth content, which cannot touch the hearts of the audience. There is no moving power. It may also be my problem, I haven't experienced similar events in my youth and can't resonate.
After time, it can still be seen.
