This film was fascinating for many reasons.

The movie has a fallow up history that surround itself into a true political struggle incorporate into the main plot has a secondary sub plot know in the dialog and some scenes of the character in 1979 (the past) from the female lead. Which did happen and a bit earlier since 1960s and the corruption of politic powers that want it to be maintain. If you do a research about the May 18 and the “Democracy Uprising” of the early decades since 1960s all up until where the movie sets itself in 1979. Then you’ll have a based understanding as to what they speak about and some scenes of what they referred about. (watch “The President’s Last Bang”-2005 for more reference of these particular decade).

In the meantime, the movie keeps the historical true political plot interwoven with the main one, but not overshadow it, since the movie goes through the main female lead motions and feelings of what is the future and the wonders of a world she doesn’t know while growing up and maturing in her world while finding out not only the history she lives in but her plot with this secondary male lead. Here is where the plot expands itself between these two and how the connections from the past changed the future for those who are known as “lost generation” and the sacrifices made for those in the future. Great outstanding movie, which felt like a love letter to the history of generations interpreted with these two characters stories.

Side note: Movies like... The President’s Last Bang, The Old Garden, The Attorney, A Taxi Driver, 1987 When the Day Comes. Are all movies that becomes a fallow up to these decades of subjugation and struggle with points of views from what many of the people that where there, saw and lived through.
