The granddaughter asked the grandfather: what is memory. Grandpa replied: Even if it's been a long time, I still can't forget it. Especially in a country with a strong national consciousness and those who have experienced wars, this is obsession, so Dexiu is very tired, and this is also a portrayal of a group of people in that era. I am lonely, so I need family, love, and friendship to accompany me! Everyone has their own obsessions. At the end of the film, Dexiu said to his father: I am so tired, this is the final release. It's not that the shop cannot be sold, the timing is wrong, because the shop is a trace of history, time will pass, but memory will not. It's not the shop that can't let go, it's the obsession that can't be let go. After saying that I was so tired, I was relieved. In the end, the Dexiu family had a big reunion, family, friendship, and love. Through her own efforts, Dexiu built a family and did what her father asked. I think this is also what the director wants to express. A portrait of the rich and powerful in Korea. The Korean film is as good as ever. Several lines are interspersed very well. It is not abrupt at all. Son, I especially like and recognize the friendship in the film and the family affection of the big family. It may be that I didn’t work hard enough. Fortunately, I haven’t come to the film yet. The film is called the international market, which carries the heavy history of Korea. The film takes political films, ethics, human nature and other films to the extreme. When will Korean films be able to innovate in other aspects, it may be the time for this country and this nation to let go of its obsessions.

    Currently the second highest-grossing movie in Korean history, I followed this to check, and the first one turned out to be "Ming Liang", what can I say? Personally, I am disgusted with the grand narrative of all history. It is essentially a popcorn movie, but it is mixed with some tears.

    The place where "the Chinese army has attacked and the U.S. don't need tanks to save the refugees" is very exciting. Its structural reality is intertwined with the past, which is good-looking, and Deshun, who has abide by his father's instructions all his life, is really moving.
