The main line of the film is to tell the life of the protagonist in chronological order, and many famous historical events are deliberately interspersed in the middle, imitating the true story of Forrest Gump.
I will not repeat the protagonist's life experience. As the eldest son, the protagonist has given a lot and sacrificed a lot. Especially the part about going to Germany to be a miner reminded me of the characters in "Ordinary World". Similar experiences, similar emotions, and the same yearning for a better life are touching.
In fact, this small country on the Korean peninsula is really similar to China. Culturally and traditionally, Korea, like China, is a Confucian society, and their local concepts and relationships are little different from ours. Although it is a Korean movie, the emotion and helplessness in it transcends national borders. I think many Chinese people can understand it. Because, that's exactly what happens to almost everyone. With love for your family, strive to create a better life. It's that simple and profound truth.
However, Koreans express it very well. As for our domestic films, it seems that they are disdainful or what? Maybe there is a big production, maybe there is a good special effect. But it is difficult to appear those films that seriously tell the stories of ordinary people, and let those sincere emotions touch everyone's hearts seriously and without pretense.
I hope that domestic films can also have such excellent works.
