The truth in ordinary life

The true feelings in ordinary life, the breath of life blows in the face, and the true meaning of life is seen in ordinary and trivial details.

The details and soundtrack are very good. In the end, Shen Yinhe looked at his faded photos, and when he smiled knowingly, it brought tears to his eyes. Everything will pass, but the person who stays in our hearts will not change.

The story is well told, and the filming techniques are delicate and heartwarming. The use of the lens is as simple and delicate as the story itself, with a large number of long shots and still shots, every angle of view is very flavorful, and the hazy beauty is great. When the relationship is getting better and better, the way of expression is very beautiful and warm, but the ending does not pretend to be sad, and it ends calmly and openly.

The whole movie avoids the haze of death, so that Han Shikui's smile and Shen Yinhe's beauty will always be fixed on the screen, so beautiful!

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.
