This story is so BS... the first sip from that water would have killed him or made him really sick. Such BS writing. In my country even a 15 year old knows not to drink water like that , if you have nothing else then at least boil it first before you drink it. Stupid.
@@tanelviil9149 So the story sucks cause the character didn't die or got sick in the first sip of the water? The river I think is called Han River and isn't that polluted at all, but It may get you sick. It's a freshwater but they don't drink straight from it. He's also dehydrated and probably didn't think of the water to be dirty. And last point, the guy doesn't have a choice to boil the water when literally stranded on a Island.
So glad you covered this. This is one of my favorite movies. This movie is beautiful, deep, simple, silly, and creative all at once. I loved this because I could relate to the emotions in this movie. Being broken, feeling hopeless, alone, rock bottom, feeling like no one likes you. Then slowly getting out of that rock bottom and slowly realizing that it ain't so bad.
@@tgbluewolf there's all kinds of poisons that kill birds and fish but not humans. or toxins that don't move up the food chain. you can bruise green hickory nut husks in a sack and drag it in a creek to kill fish and safely eat the fish. but, in the movie it killed the bird that ate the fish so..... maybe that wouldn't actually be safe. anyways, you can eat a lot more rat poison than a rat can tolerate even though it's bad for both of you.
Seems like something that could happen in real life. Plenty of these islands in urban areas that are off-limits for various reasons. And plenty of cases of people checking out and living like vagabonds in the wilderness. Only to be caught because of some minor slip up. Of course if it were the U.S., the poor bastard on the island would probably be tried and sentenced for trespassing and resisting charges. And then be given three hots and barely even a cot in some overcrowded general pop bay. On the bright-side, get out and write/blog/vlog about the experience and maybe even hold some "dos/donts" sessions of vagabonding.

Some fun facts. 1. Kim, the name of the two main characters in this film, is the most common surname in Korea. In other words, they don't look ordinary but perhaps they express the ordinary things we can experience in life. 2. The sarubia flower that the male Kim tasted was what almost of Korean men of that age did in their school days. The meaning of the scene is a scene showing the coexistence of nostalgia and bitter memories. 3. When this movie was released, it failed at the box office. But it was rediscovered several years later by some mania and became known to people.
Phenomenal concepts and ideas embodied in two characters,the ease in which the narration is made is contrast to the complexity portrayed, amazing movie indeed.
@@hihungryimdad well because they look like normal people watching the view on the side walk of the bridge. when they where just contemplating life and going through their thoughts and just jump right after quick. the few ones who actually stood in the edge on the bridge for a long time to jump have had people trying to stop them
Same here. It was one of the very first movies I decided to watch on TH-cam and it had subtitles and I was fascinated by the plot. It was entertaining and with little dialogue, so the actors really did a great job through their body language and actions.
Dont wish. Dont wait for miracles to happen. Make them. Stop wishing for things to happen but rather put yourself into action to make those things happen. Nothing will change and happen if you stay still do nothing and keep on wishing for this that to happen. Life is hard for everyone. No one is an exception. We all live in the same reality. So if they can do it. You can too. The difference is them putting the work and you just wishing for the work to magically happen. So stop idling sitting around and work on something. 😤💪🏻. You can do it.
@3am music life doesn't give a care about anyone else or anything. It's up to you to care for yourself or stay still like what youre now for the rest of your life. Only you can make the difference.
Because you wait for them. You wait for miracles to happen. Life isn't a movie goddamit, you earn those good endings. You work for them. You don't wait and slack off for them to happen. It's not how it works.
This is one of my favorite movies I've ever seen. It was a while ago, and I forgot where I saw it or how. Lol but it was worth it. The self dialogue of the characters are funny and the overall point of the protag persevering was so cool and entertaining. Also, the bond that they've build from their own personalities of being alone or wanting to have an escape was great ❤️
This Movie captures something. A feeling rather. A feeling that may be completely flase but it's been there in the back of my mind none the less. The feeling that if we could just go back to harder times I would ironically be happier so long as I could escape what ever nightmare society is now.
Has anyone ever wondered how in all movies people just jump in water go unconscious and “wash up on shore” Like do you just float face up the whole time or?
I have seen this movie for many years in bad times in my life, i was high and try to forget some memories, but i haven't forget any scene of this movie. It was so powerful and so silent, no word was too much. On the end of this movie i was crying like hell not for sadness, i cryed for happiness, the first time since years...
As someone who enjoys swimming in open water I thought this was the stupidest plot possible but the second they said he can’t swim it became an intense drama.
Finally! After many years, now i know how this movie is called. I watched long time ago on tv and i wanted to rewatch it but didn’t remember the title.thanks a lot!
Wait... "You can't feel lonely if there's nobody else?" That is an essence of being lonely... Sure, you can still feel lonely with hundreds of people around you..
No if there is no one else then you are "alone" not "lonely". You are only lonely when you feel everyone having fun and you can't relate. Being alone or "solitude" is not the same feeling as loneliness
I think they mean feeling lonely even when there are so many people around you because you feel inadequate, disengaged, detached etc. You feel like you don't belong, thus you feel lonely and perhaps the worse kind.
This movie is like Korea's "Garden State" or "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" or "The Silver Lining". Very much in the similar genre but the idea of the story is very unique and a quirky one. It has the classic korean mix of depressing, comedic, and hopeful at the same time.

extremely sad that a random hobo guy living on an island living a better life than his old life in the city, is not even allowed to live there because of other people. People say humans are social creatures, but some would much rather live peacefully, not near hundreds if thousands of others, on an island with nothing but bird poop, a few useful plots of dirt, some mushrooms, and garbage.
We are social creatures it's just if we don't know you we don't give a shit about them and that's why usually no one helps them cause why what's the benefits cause ain't nothing free in the world
