      • Trivia
        This film was taken at 1983 and opened 1st March 1984. There are so many metaphors and straightforward scenes in this movie. It was quite meaningful because there was military tyranny in South Korea and there were so many social/cultural pressures at that time. Bong, Joon Ho (the director of the Oscar movie, "Parasite") confessed that this movie means so much to him.
