You have to watch me grow old day by day.

No one knew why, but it was uncontrollably sad.

It's about a peaceful life, a story that's too slow and long, too close to the world we live in. The real, warm tingling sensation is suppressed, yet inexplicably moving.

I like that grandma, who always has a playful tone, and said a long list of seemingly simple words, but hidden sadness and philosophical thoughts. In fact, it's not slow, but maybe life will become easier if you don't know much about everything.

"I said, you have to be by my side and watch me grow old day by day."

"The so-called happiness is something that can only be obtained by not giving up. I have lived to this age, but I have never loved a person deeper than the sea."

"Don't be so lonely."

"What about you, do you have one?"

"Me, that's what happened."

"Ordinary people don't have it, but everyone still lives happily. No, it's because they don't have it that they can live and be so happy."

"It's complicated."

"It's very simple, life is actually very simple."

    The Korean translation of the name means "after the typhoon". This is really a movie that can give people the courage to live, with a long aftertaste. This is also why Ai is Director Zhi. The woman on the right cried several times while watching. After I came out and stood in the corridor, the leaves on the roadside were shaking in the wind, only to realize that it was raining. It's fitting. 롯데시네마합정역0731

    We always talk about what kind of people we want to be when we grow up, and what kind of people we don’t want to be when we grow up. But even so, we have a value to exist and a reason to live. Just as potted plants may not bloom and bear fruit, buying a lottery ticket may not necessarily win the lottery. That's how life is, a lot of things don't make sense.

After the Storm quotes

  • Shinoda Yoshiko: I wonder why it is that men can't love the present. Either they just keep chasing whatever it is they've lost... or they keep dreaming beyond their reach.

  • Shinoda Ryôta: The lottery isn't gambling.

    Shiraishi Kyôko: Of course it is.

    Shinoda Ryôta: No, it is not.

    Shiraishi Kyôko: What is it, then?

    Shinoda Ryôta: It's a dream. A dream you buy for 300 Yen.
