    The film has a lot to say. From the perspective of the individual protagonist, how heavy a person's burden can be, and how to go back and redeem, are all conveyed very truly, and that's why it touched me. Although the plot structure is a flashback, the development of the characters themselves (not the audience's cognition of the characters) is quite inherited, so the protagonist's final expression and ending did not return to the beginning, which also confirmed the previous speculation. The...

    【A】From this one, I really fell in love with Li Changdong. Movies about time, the grand tide of the times, and the humble personal fate, Li Changdong integrated all of them, and then used the most cruel narrative technique of "flashback" to reproduce the past. The love connected by mints and the fate ended by trains, these symbols throughout the film prove that it is still drama and literature in its bones. You can't go back in time, but memories can go back. Li Cangdong used the last shot to...

    After watching Li Cangdong's two films, I thought it was too much. Finally, I came across a good thing, "Mint" is so fucking...

    "I want to walk the road she has walked and see the sea she has seen. But what about the rain? It doesn't matter. The rain she drenched, I also drenched it, and the rain I watched, he watched too." But out of the Tianshan No...

    The train of destiny whizzes past, but you can let it reopen~ Li Cangdong is so sharp. But more points are added to Xue Jingqiu's acting skills. So wonderful. After reading this story, I always feel terrified. I don't know from when, life has slipped into a doom and...

    #1000# Flashback is a technique that is not clever but the most powerful. It overdraws the suffering in advance and then dilutes it layer by layer, recovering to the moment when the crack appeared at the first moment, and then strung together all the clues and foreshadowing, the exercise generally breaks the embankment again . Hysterical outings appear, first love on the sickbed, cheating secretary, betrayed wife, undelivered camera, undeveloped film, mints collected in jars, a bloody foot...

    We were singing by the river, not caring what the strange, limping man was up to. The train whizzed past and took him to the source. It was also here that he quietly walked away from the cheering crowd, with the aroma of mint candy in his mouth, and shed a tear of...

    The Gwangju Incident in 1980, the June storm in 1987, the financial crisis in 1997, whether the relentless tide of the times brought a person to growth or fragmented destruction, or the same thing. Following the footage of the train going backwards, "life is beautiful" has become the cruelest sentence in life. The last memory stays at the end of life, everything is still so pure and beautiful, only the nameless flower and mint lover, "I want to go back, I want to go...

    A heavy but abstract person, the author is always present

    A chapter-like structure with a sense of design, echoing the beginning and the end. The mints scattered throughout the chapters, the train's intentions (and perhaps more) always remind the audience of the author's presence, and of the male protagonist's very recognizable and almost clichéd...

    Fragmented tilted balance paradox

    The 20-year life reflects the changes of modern society in Korea. A single moment may change a person's life, or it may be destroyed in struggle, and fragrant in sublimation. Obviously, the protagonist of the movie chose the former, the train is running on the rails, a This fork makes the...

Peppermint Candy quotes

  • Yongho: Do you think life's beautiful?

  • Yongho: I don't want to die alone. I need one bastard to come with me. Just one bastard among all that ruined my life. But then... Who should I kill? It gives me hard time, you know. To pick just one is hard thing to do. The fucking stock broker who made me go clean broke? The vampire like loan shark that charged the ridiculous interest? Or... how about the business partner who run away with my money? Or should I take my ex-wife and my kid to die with me? There're so many fuckers in my life that it's hard to pick just one.
