His nostalgia for his first love is actually just a memory of his innocent and innocent self

The introduction of the film, the man stood on the rails and asked why his life was going to collapse, and then after he shouted "I want to go back" facing the speeding train, the train took him back for 20 years. life, from 1999 to 1979.

Three days ago he spent all the money to buy a gun and wanted to kill himself and find someone to be buried with. When he said that he would choose one of the many people who had brought his life to despair, he seemed to explain that the reason was Loan sharks, portfolio failures and his divorced wife.

In 1994, 5 years ago, his wife had an affair, and he left the house, seemingly pointing to his wife's infidelity.

However, in 1987, 12 years ago, his wife was expecting to give birth, and he should have a warm family, but he responded coldly to his wife's love, and he did not ignore her when she gave birth. As a policeman, he was cruel. When he went to work in his first love's hometown, he missed his first love in the hotel. At this time, it seemed that the root cause was the loss of his first love, because of love.

In 1984, 15 years ago, he had a weak personality but chose to become a policeman. In this piece of film, he showed the process of changing his treatment of prisoners from intolerance to cruelty. The first love came to him, but he bitterly rejected her gift and sent her away, and then walked with his wife who was in love with him at the time.

Then the time goes back to 1980, when he was in the army, the film shows the life of the army from the human level, not from the military level, so we can see his whole incompetence, see him in the army Both physically and mentally devastated. His cowardice and cowardice made him mistakenly kill an innocent student during a mission, and his hands have been stained with blood since then.

During his outing in 1978, he had an elegant temperament and a pair of gentle hands. He picked wild flowers for his first love. He used his hands to frame the view and told her that he wanted to use the camera to capture the beauty of nature.

So far, through the layers of the film, we can finally understand what the source is, what the past he wants to go back to, and who is responsible for the tragedy of his life. In fact, the root cause was that he couldn't forgive himself after killing a student by mistake. He was not convicted and even became a policeman who could punish criminals after he was discharged from the army, but he couldn't cleanse the guilt in his heart (here I think of the "Hypnosis Master" in The role played by Xu Zheng), he didn't want to let himself go, so his first love said that he had a pair of gentle hands and gave him a camera to let him fulfill his dream. He refused, even if he received that camera more than ten years later, he would only Exchange it for money. He felt that he was no longer worthy of all that (dreams, love of first love), and for many years later, his nostalgia for his first love was actually just a memory of his innocent and innocent self, but his exile of himself Injury to wives and daughters.

Combining his 20 years of life, it can be seen that the only force majeure is the military life (imposed on him by the outside world), and the rest are his own choices (self-inflicted). The former can be seen as an indictment of the war on the human nature of the army, while the latter is a tragedy of personal character—to the extreme of kindness because of kindness—if he wasn’t kind by nature, he wouldn’t have killed himself by mistake. The death of a human life is a matter of concern, and life is still how to live, but he did not.

During many years of changes in his life, he gradually forgot his first love and the root cause. He could only see the cruelty of life to him. The appearance of his first love before committing suicide aroused his desire to "go back".

In the end, he sat by the wildflowers watching the train on the sky track shed a tear, a foreboding from the beginning of a tragic life. Before that, he said to his first love that it was the first time to participate in the outing, but he had the feeling that he had been there before. He went back, but didn't he just go back to the life he once lived? Life won't stop there, nothing will change after that, just start all over again!

Another:
Regarding "going back", I think you can change the direction of your life unless you go back to the past with your current life experience, otherwise nothing will change, which is meaningless, but this is not a complete return, because The changes that take place in human beings are not regressed by time, that is to say, time still manifests as a way of advancing in human beings, so it can only be said that it has traveled to a certain time and space with a structure similar to the past.

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.
