A very nice movie.
I haven't seen Dongmu's films before, but when I saw him when he was young, he was simply handsome.
This nearly 90-year-old old man has a face full of vicissitudes. When I first saw him, there was still a hint of despair and desolation.
In the flowery world outside, surrounded by friends, he forgets the importance of family. He didn't even go to his daughter's wedding ceremony, which led to a rigid relationship between father and daughter for more than 10 years.
He looked embarrassed when he came to them again. Perhaps, as his wife had said, he had come to them again with no money.
Not welcomed by the family, but unexpectedly received business. The high-risk business of transporting drugs made him a fortune. This kind of pleasure made him start helping these drug dealers time and time again.
Although it is a disaster, you can still feel the calmness of this man. When he got the money, he went to hold his granddaughter's wedding, he redeemed the home, he bought the bar that was a memorial to him, but what I was most moved by is that at the end, he faced His dying wife said that money can buy a lot of things, but not company. This sentence is so simple and easy to understand, but it is really powerful when people of this age say it.
He is a strong man at heart. He wants to bring a good life to the people around him, whether it's what he missed and needs to make up for them. He wants friends to be together, he likes being surrounded by people, he likes being praised and affirmed. Although he is a mule, he still educates the young man to change careers. (That scene was also very emotional when they were eating roadside burgers. He said, you have to enjoy life sometimes. The other said, you just enjoy life so much that you have to work for us at this age. It's embarrassing , I think he must have felt something in his heart. Then he dropped the subject. He didn't like the chat. Indeed, there must be something wrong with his glorious life not leaving him with a decent life in the end.) He also has to educate the police Spend more time with your family, which is why you have a estrangement with your family. Yes, although he is a mule, he has his principles and bottom line.
Quite an interesting film. Worth watching.
