The whole film is a flashback. It takes about 5 years as a segment. The time follows the old train running backwards. The connection of time is relatively soft, and the film is very well edited. At the beginning of the film, a man with a nervous breakdown meets a After a group of people danced, they committed suicide by lying on the rails. Time went backwards with the train that crushed him. 3 days ago, 5 years ago, 10 years ago, 15 years ago. In the words of Uncle Wang, this kind of narrative The method breaks through the traditional way of narrating "death". The clever thing is that your focus is not on waiting for the protagonist to die quickly, but on positively linking his past life experience with his death The

train went backwards with memories. Three days ago, Jin Yonghao collapsed and wanted to find it, but was called by a mysterious person to meet someone; then in 1994, he lived a dissolute life, and he was cold to his wife (Jin Lizhen). Fighting; as a policeman in 1987, his methods were fierce; from 1984, 1980 to 1978, until the first love (played by Wen Suli) and the token of "Mints", the film did not give out what it was. Overwhelmed the protagonist's life and shattered its beautiful answer."

After watching the movie, because of the flashback, the emotion will not burst out suddenly, but it will make people unable to stop thinking about how time destroys a man without surprise . In addition, the actor is really good. The details are handled impeccably.

This film is suitable for one person to watch when lazy and boring.

    It feels like "Poem", and Li Cangdong's characteristics are also obvious. Seven fragments, a man's life. How do we lose our kindness and authenticity little by little, how do we learn to face cruelty and cruelty little by little. At that moment, it was growing up. What a sad reality that has become an adult.

    Koreans have made so many movies about "things that can't be said in China". I thought it was just a film about a personal situation, so it was a bit of a surprise and a shock when it suddenly appeared; besides, the film was a great example of a structured narrative in flashbacks.

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.
