When I watch this movie, I always think of "Forrest Gump", or the recent similar "Long Time", although they are all personal growth and changes in the context of the times, from the perspective of small people to map the era, to map the social background. But the difference is that Forrest Gump extends in a positive sense, and the mint can be said to allow us to see the changes in the social background and the destruction of a character's fate by the occurrence of events... No matter how kind, beautiful, delicate and sensitive green teenagers he used to be , After experiencing physical and mental harm, he will gradually move towards sophistication, cruelty, ugliness and despair, and sink into it and struggle without being able to escape.

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.
