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 that were hesitant to refuse were later abandoned and given to the shops on the street.
My rating is five stars, a movie as perfect as Yang Dechang's "The Terrorist", it's a process of ideal despair.

    #Director# In addition to winning awards, Lee Changdong's films are also widely acclaimed for their detailed descriptions and criticisms of contemporary Korean life. "I didn't actually intend to criticize Korean society in the film," said Lee Chang-dong, "I just wanted to talk about people themselves and their lives. However, the real environment around a person cannot be unique. Such as environment, policies and History and so on, because no one can live completely out of the real world. I think if you portray people in a movie that is stripped of reality, it's like assuming that those warped realities of our lives don't exist. And the other way around Said, when describing reality, I will also be careful to avoid criticizing society consciously or exaggeratedly. This kind of criticism is not a natural and honest way to reflect reality. Lee Changdong's "Mints" is to explore the reality in the environment How the decision made has a profound and unimaginable impact on the life after that. 16:07, from grabbing a gun to cheating coffee, the characters are portrayed. 56:13, every sad train is always galloping behind, Either tailwind or retrograde.

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.
