Seoul Cinema will be closing down soon. The last screened film, The Widow, shows scenes that depict what Seoul looked like long ago. After watching it, I walk along the same streets shown in the film. The famous statue of General Yi Sun-shin, which was said to have been moved, is still in the same location. I feel like I’ve already walked this road with someone else before. While a lot of things change, something of the past always remains. I decide to fall in love with these remnants.

What a beautiful movie!
What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.
