korean movie sick

My favorite korean movie is "Drifting Room", every time I tell people, they look at me with bad intentions - porn! Actually no, Koreans have really learned the cruelty of Japanese style. Putting fish hooks in the human body, throat and private parts, how cruel! But they loved each other deeply...and didn't say it, they killed one person after another because of jealousy. What kind of jealousy? They are not even lovers.

It was this savage, unreasonable love that moved me deeply.

Perhaps it should be said that I was deeply moved by my own inner morbid psychology. Love, but cannot express, cannot express. Love is impossible to express. This is my disease, and it is our disease. Is it a disease of an era? This is hard to say, dare not say.

But with love it can be seen, jealousy can be seen.

In the computer city that day, I finally bought "August Photo Studio". Very old film. One summer vacation, the TV station had a Korean film show, so I let it go, but I didn't watch it. But always remember the name.

After buying it home, it looked good. Tears while watching. I watched it again today, because I really liked the atmosphere, but I didn’t know why, so I carried forward the spirit of inquiring, and I must understand why I shed tears. Why would you like it. (How do you know if you like it? It's stupid and stubborn.) The

male lead is terminally ill, but he falls in love with the female lead. He waits for her in the photo studio every day because he likes her. She is young and a little frivolous, although she is very innocent. Finally one day they had a date. They were really happy. The two were walking on the boulevard, and the yellow leaves in autumn lay on the ground. She took the initiative to hold him.

But the joy ends there. He finally fell ill and was admitted to the hospital. Later he sneaked out, hid in the cafe and peeked at her on the road, touching her with his fingers, through the glass and the cold air. They met in August and shared ice cream in the heat, but now it's cold, it's winter. Christmas is coming, and at Christmas time, she went to the photo studio in despair, angry, why did she just fall in love and disappear! But saw that he enlarged her picture and hung it in the window.

By this time he was dead, but she didn't know it. He walked away happily, jumping and jumping.

This man doesn't believe that he can get happiness. He tastes the taste of happiness, just a little bit, but he can't reach out to touch or take it, that's all. Because of the terminal illness, he lost his confidence, so he always smiled at people without any resentment at all.

One of my favorite lines from Kafka's letter to his father is this:

"It seems to me to marry, to have a family, to have children, to feed them in this unreliable world, and even to give them when possible. Some guidance, this is the highest a person can reach."

But Kafka did not do that, he always doubted real life, no, he respected real life so much that he did not believe that he could be good into this life. He is a jackdaw, a Kafka bird. In his view, the happiness of life is impossible to obtain. As a Jew, as the eldest son of the Kafka family, life has given him too many poisons, and he has no strength to detoxify himself.

It takes a very strong person to be able to do this. And for most people, they don't fully believe in happiness. To make matters worse, our culture has given us so much unhealthy stuff that we simply can't give our all to happiness. The pursuit of sentimentality, on the other hand, is easier and has a certain cheap beauty.

It's too easy to give up happiness, and a vague wording is enough to shun the concept. A simple concept can easily make people deny themselves. But happiness does exist after all, at least in a distant fantasy. So people still can't forget.

Dostoyevsky's "White Nights" I also like "Such a wonderful night. Such a night, dear reader, only appears when we are young. The sky is full of stars, fresh and transparent. Look up. , you can't help but ask yourself: Is anyone still angry and moody under such a sky? This is a very childish question, dear reader, and may God use it often to touch your soul ! . . "

Things are not as complicated as imagined, and love is also simple. Love is as simple as anything else. As old Kant said, there are only two things that are really worth considering and that can shake the soul. The starry sky above and the moral law in the heart.

Korean movies are still a disease after all, but this is a real disease that can be contracted.

Christmas in August quotes

  • Jung-won: [Sitting on a rubber tire in his old school playground] When I was a kid I always sat alone in the playground after the other boys had gone. Thinking about my late mother, it struck me that we'd all disappear in the end... my father, my sister, all my best friends.

  • [last lines]

    Jung-won: [narrating] I always knew that feelings of love would fade - just like old photographs. But for you... you will always remain in my heart, as you are in my last moment. Thank you, and goodbye.
