It's enough to be by your side.

This movie has always been saved on the computer, and I just remember that my favorite teacher recommended it a long time ago. See it stems from a chat with a friend yesterday. He said that the first Korean director he contacted was Xu Qinhao. And I've always been a big fan of Japanese and Korean movies, and I always felt that there were some extreme things in their cultural roots. Today, I flipped through the movies in the F disk, and over and over again, I finally clicked on it.
In the opening five minutes, I was already mesmerized by the soft light and the warm smile of the leading man. Sure enough, it didn't disappoint me.
love. die. Two eternal topics. The director performed it in a very gentle way.
The plot of the whole film is not strong, but the emotional rendering is very moving. On the surface of peace and warmth, there is a power that involves the inner emotional waves, until the end, I did not burst into tears, but my eyes were warm, but my heart was deeply attracted by an invisible magnetic field. The director is great. Whether it's depicting details or characters.

He is a single man in his thirties. Operates a photo studio.
She is a young and beautiful traffic policewoman. She was hopelessly in love with him.
He has a secret. He is terminally ill and is about to leave. she does not know.
Indeed, no matter how complex the plot can be outlined in a few words. Emotions can only be felt.

He always looked at the world with his sunny smile, not like someone who was about to leave. But in the dead of night, he is also afraid of death, afraid of leaving the person he loves. Lying next to his father like a child and falling asleep; sobbing secretly in the quilt; getting drunk with friends without restraint. Just because of the faint fear in his heart.
She didn't know his departure until he left for a long time. She also experienced joy, sadness, crying, anger... But until she saw the photo he took for her in front of the photo studio, she left with a smile like a lover. After that, when she will know the truth, none of us know, because it doesn't matter anymore.
They have all been by each other's side. It doesn't matter if we're not together. The important thing is that they both made a good mark in each other's lives.
We worship the goodness of human nature.

I really liked the paragraph where the portrait was taken twice.
When we are leaving, we can only leave the most splendid and warm side to the world for those we love.
I instantly thought of a few years ago, when my grandma pulled me into her room mysteriously. Open the cabinet and pull out a package with many layers. It's a framed photo. Grandma said, fortunately, look, I took this photo a few days ago, does it look good? I plan to use it at that time. I didn't reflect on it at once, but I said it was beautiful and very spirited. Indeed, the grandma in the photo is more spirited than ever in life. Fortunately, my grandmother can still talk and laugh with me by my side at this time.

There are so many things that go by quietly in life. The first baby tooth that fell from childhood. To the lovers of youth.
Even Ultraman can't salvage the beauty that has passed.
As long as these have ever come to us. enough.

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.
