There is something about "quiet", depressing films that always makes them become my favorites, and this one instantly became one of them. It's beautiful in terms of cinematography and music. Really, I haven't heard such good music in a long time in a film. A lot of people would say that it's bland and too quiet but that's the whole point, in my opinion. It's raw and shows how awful life can be. Throughout the entire movie I was like "It can't possibly get any worse" and yet it somehow did, minute after minute. And it's just so sad and devastating, especially knowing the backstory behind this film. What struck me the most was the scene of the old man's monologue when he said that it was the same everywhere. I'm in that stage of life where I'm praying for better tomorrow wishing I could move out as soon as I can, and I can't bear the thought that it could be just as bad somewhere else
What a movie woah So moody and quiet yet a telling one It reminded me of "eternal yesterday", so as much as I love that drama I somehow felt attached to this movie... I wonder what the secret was that Zit couldn't tell Chien yu, I wonder if he meant the feelings for him or smth else? If you ask me about my interpretation, I think that Zit is not a ghost but more like an imagination of Chien yu's mind. I'm quite convinced of this because of one of the last scene, when Zit was hugging him, he wanted to see him so badly that he imagined him once again. So, the previous scene of the discovery of Zit's body is the moment of realisation, that there is no longer any chance for him to come back, so he disappears after that. As for the senior I'm not quite sure, Im wondering if he liked Chien yu, his brother or Zit in the end. What's even more interesting is the fact that he had been in Zit's room three or four times since Chien yu didn't visit it even once (was zit embarrassed of his situation in home only when it came to Chien Yu? Why didn't he want to tell him about his problems? Was it simply because he didn't want to burden him with his issues?) but yeah overall I really enjoyed this movie and shed a tear!! But I have to be honest it left me with a sense of curiosity due to these ambiguities in the plot
