Life is long, so many boring and lonely weekends are often spent with endless dark sleep. It doesn't seem to be too long, and even the elderly women with many descendants feel that "that day" will be a little later, a little later. Life is heavy! It has carried so many ties of love, relatives, friends and lovers. However, it seems to be very light, and the smile facing the camera turns into an old friend in the frame, while the earth is still turning, and people continue to live.



Delicate oriental film. The ordinary life of ordinary little people unfolds in slow details, but it has been deeply rooted in people's hearts. When asked about his unforgettable old love, he just spit out watermelon seeds without saying a word. The peace and happiness on the surface deepened the bitterness in the heart. Crazy and slanderous friends drink together, take reality as a joke, and cry bitterly through the power of alcohol, no one has to be moved by the life that is about to leave. Pushing and shoving the lively group photo, there is a solemn face on the left side, that is the friendship of friends without words. Teaching an elderly father to use the remote control, he became impatient over and over again, and only hoped that his relatives would continue to live well in the world after he left. The old figure outside the door, raising and lowering his hand, what could be more painful than a white-haired man sending a black-haired man? ! The ice bullying shared in the heat, the umbrella that slants to one side in the rain, and the ghost stories that are not scary on the trails at night are all short but beautiful moments.



I was thinking, how would I have lived if I knew from the start that my life was destined to be short? Maybe just like the protagonist, in the quiet town of his hometown, he runs a small shop, does a job he likes, lives with his relatives and familiar people, smiles kindly to everyone he meets, and calms down. Wait for that day to come. Lie down silently in the afterglow of the silent sunset and listen to the sound of time; go to see the sleeping faces of your loved ones on the night when you can't sleep due to thunderstorms; or meet someone you want to care about, you can bring him a little warmth and love Care... But life is beautiful, and I want those good times to stop and those bright smiles to stay, so after all, I will still hug my pillow and cry or reveal sadness in the arms of my friends. Just let people go on living, in a world without me. Like a stone thrown into the water, the waves and ripples that are stirred up will eventually subside, but they have already sunk into the bottom of my heart. Because I know that love is not eternal, I put that sincere letter together with the old photos that recorded the past. Maybe it's just that knowing smile at the end, but it's enough, isn't it?



Remember this sentence "When you were born, you cried, and the people around you laughed; when you died, you laughed, and the people around you cried!" If you leave the last expression on the world, I believe most people Will show the most affectionate smile!



A good movie should be the one that makes people think after watching it after watching it! During the winter vacation, I watched "Tokyo Story" (I think this is a master work that every child should read), and I always wanted to find an opportunity to review it again. The warm and delicate oriental movies are the most irresistible!



PS The man with good-looking teeth laughs and fascinates him!

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.
