old times meet me

Occasionally I turn to this movie I watched a long time ago, and I can still smell the faint vanilla smell in the movie.
It is said that the origin of the film's name is because several of the main creators have their birthdays in August.
I especially liked Han Shikui because of this movie and watched it (in red). There are always people who say it would be nice if the male protagonist was a handsome guy. I think people who think this way should watch the latest idol drama. This kind of warmth is not suitable for you.


The film begins with him happily riding a motorcycle with the breeze blowing his face. He enlarges the photo of the little girl they like in the group photo for the two little boys. He bows his head when he goes to the hospital for a check-up, and he calmly takes a portrait of the old lady .
I always feel that this is life.
The beautiful female traffic policeman, frowning slightly, with her slightly exposed calf under the uniform of the traffic policeman, digs a bucket of ice cream with a spoon, and hangs the photo outside the photo studio. The dazzling sunshine, the sultry summer, in fact, what I want is not that you accompany me every day, but that you take me to heart.

The film seems to take people back to the old days, distant, warm, simple, and precipitation.
It's a vanilla-flavored movie.

Li Jian wrote a song called (August Photo Studio) because of this movie.

When the wind blows through the window of the photo studio and slips
away,
when I pass by this place and listen to this song
as if I were back in yesterday, my heart is softened.

Christmas in August quotes

  • Jung-won: [Sitting on a rubber tire in his old school playground] When I was a kid I always sat alone in the playground after the other boys had gone. Thinking about my late mother, it struck me that we'd all disappear in the end... my father, my sister, all my best friends.

  • [last lines]

    Jung-won: [narrating] I always knew that feelings of love would fade - just like old photographs. But for you... you will always remain in my heart, as you are in my last moment. Thank you, and goodbye.
