A story that made me a lot of tears but was not very happy.

The reason is more personal. I found that since he passed away, I was really unsuitable to deal with family issues. The guilt and longing that were easily aroused made me irritable. Maybe I would become an old man with guilt and guilt like Deok-sook. This scared me.

Humans are animals that easily project emotions. De Sook projected her sister's emotions on the refugees in Vietnam War. I projected my emotions into the movie, but I still can't understand it.

After the emotions are removed, the film jumps in time and space for a long time. The director tries to use a bunch of transitions such as splicing and dimming to overdo it, but the emotional connection is slightly weak and people are caught off guard.

In fact, in this film, you can see the shadow of many movies. The unique style of Korean movies of Agam and Iwo Jima is a piece of style, but it lacks the director's own characteristics.

All in all, it's an easy-to-digest movie that's wonderful but not entirely interesting.
