1987: When the Day Comes

I'm Chinese, and I hope that, one day, my country can admit the fault about what happened in 1989 officially.

Amazing film! One of the best films I have seen in a while. The film starts with a simple plot and a web of characters and a subplot develops. The direction of the camera and the pauses to show names (similar to kill bill) adds a bit of humor. The beginning of the movie has a lot of humor but slowly fades and transitions into the heart of the movie. The slower introduction of characters helps build the story. I would like to see more background on some characters as that tends to be revealed in different parts of the movie.

This is a movie more than a movie. It's also a history, emotions and lives in Korea, 1987.

No actor(actress) has been consumed in vain in the movie.

Every moment is well directed. This is the great movie such like 'Citizen Kane' and 'Shawshank Redemption'. It's a historical movie, a humanism drama dedicated to freedom fighters all around the world.

*. 1987: The direct democracy has been declared in Korea. 2017: The corrupt government has been collapsed in Korea.

Military power politics and authoritarian governments should be resolutely resisted. People need to learn from historical events rather than hide the truth. After all, the truth cannot be concealed.

This movie goes between a nail-biting spy thriller, a gorgeous display of nature amid chaos, a hard-to-watch document of torture, and a rousing cry of patriotism all without slipping into exploitation. Contrary to what some people have said, I thought the movie found a way to celebrate the need for democracy amid oppression without painting the oppressors as cartoonishly evil. Every character had a role to play in this ensemble, in a story that truly encompassed a nation. Definitely paying more attention to this director for providing this masterpiece.
