I watched it many years ago, and I didn't understand many things at that time, I didn't understand it very well, and I thought it was nothing. Looking at it now, I suddenly realize that the narrative method is too clever, and it calmly depicts the imprint of that important history on people so deeply. . Such hidden information is buried in narratives with varied styles and mixed themes, including pure first love stories, indifferent married life, cruel police stories, and violent military...

Phantom limbs: hallucinations produced by people who have lost limbs, just like the lost limbs are still attached to the torso. ——This is Li Cangdong's ruthlessness. Those permanent defects can't be recovered even if it is rewinded. The cruel thing is time and...

Li Cangdong's representative work. The film shows the process of a pure and kind-hearted literary and artistic youth who degenerates into tyranny and indifference and leads to destruction due to social harm and character weakness. The pure flashback fragment spanning 20 years, the white space and the echo are just right. When time and memory are like a train traveling backwards from despair to hope, the sadness has also become heart-wrenching tears. Xue Jingqiu's acting skills are astonishing...

The pain is as cruel and cold as a knife. It stabs you in your heart and your flesh with a single knife, making you crouch down again and again unable to get up. Some people gradually become compassionate because of the pain they have endured, while others are taught by the pain to become a vicious dog or mutate into a bunch of viruses. Some people broke with God under torture, and some finally compromised and reconciled their lives. Li Cangdong asked Jin Yonghao over and over again: Do you...

A movie belonging to a social male: The Gwangju Incident shows the strangulation of nature and dreams by political spurs. Manslaughter of girls means an inadvertent or compelling sin in the system. In the dark-bellied Vanity Fair, we conceal knives in our laughter, and continue to expand the boundaries of means and costs in order to achieve our goals. If we are powerless or unwilling to torture and reflect, we will destroy all the beautiful things with our own hands! At this time, this heart,...

"Mints" has the same ingenuity and deliberate structure. This kind of pure flashback method is not suitable at first, but the narrative of the small unit is methodical. At the beginning, there was a heart-cracking "I want to go back to the past" confusion. With the backward shooting, the kind of heart-cracking has turned into a hazy teary...

A person’s life reflects the changes in Korean modern society over the past two decades. Xue Jingqiu is really a good actor, and it's heartbreaking to watch. The flashbacks don't feel clichéd but rather uncomfortable. Will human destiny be completely changed in a moment, like a fork in a train track? I finally saw the Korean film that I liked. The overall literary temperament really must be...

Fortunately, there is despair
The final ending of this film, that is, the beginning of the film is a cold despair, a man desperately howling in the river, committing suicide on the railroad tracks, and then slowly unfolding the process of his gradual despair, the mints that he loved to keep when he was young , and the mints...

The real meaning of single-shot scheduling
Like Hemingway, it's short and concise sentences.
A scene strives to be solved with one shot, but does not pursue too formal long shots. Please don't underestimate this "one shot". It is Bong Joon-ho in "Memories of Murder" who use "single shot" in Korean movies so superbly. For this reason, it is...

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.
