Chapter 592

“Hello! This is Moviegoer!”

-Moviegoer!

-Hi there!

-We’ve been waiting for you!

Moviegoer said with a smile.

“Yes, I’ve been waiting for this day too. I watched the movie in April, but I didn’t expect to review it in September.”

-Usually, you do it in 3 or 4 weeks.

-Yeah, there’s a routine of movie-moviegoer review-movie.

-The movie industry likes moviegoer reviews too.

-As long as they’re not too harsh, lol.

-Lol.

-How did you feel when you saw Na Jin in the movie?

Moviegoer and the viewers burst into laughter.

“Today, I think it’s okay to call him Na Jin actor while reviewing, but I’m more familiar with the name Lee Seo-jun, so I’ll call him actor Lee Seo-jun. He’s also my main character.”

-The side character gets the talent and the main character gets the fame…

-Lol, they’re the same person, lol.

Moviegoer stopped laughing and continued.

“To answer your question, I was really surprised. I thought I saw it wrong. But I couldn’t just be surprised, because he acted so well that I decided to watch the movie first. I think the audience who watched it with me felt the same way, because there was no noise in the theater.”

-Best immersion!

-22 Even if you know it, it’s surprising, but you get absorbed in the movie quickly.

-I wish I could see Moviegoer’s surprised expression!

-Lol, OMG!!!

-That’s so cute, lol.

-Hehe!!

Moviegoer was chatting with the viewers casually when he changed the topic.

“First, let me introduce the movie. ‘Fire’ is an independent film made by students from Korea National University of Arts. It received a lot of support from the project team of KNUA.”

-Please tell us about the plagiarism scandal of KNUA!

-I heard the original work that was plagiarized was Fire. Is that true?

He expected that.

Moviegoer said in a calm tone.

“I won’t mention the plagiarism scandal. It’s not confirmed yet, and there are many other channels that cover it. You can watch them there.”

-Yeah, that’s been going on since April.

-22 There were so many.

-This is a movie review show.^^ Go away.

-Go away, lol.

-Sent with a smile, lol.

“Then, I’ll continue. The independent film Fire had a big trouble before filming. Of course, we only found out after the filming was over.”

-Working Man!

-Tunnel accident!

-I was really shocked.

“Let’s skip this too, since there are many videos about it.”

-…Then why did you mention it?

-Lol, lol, lol, lol, lol.

“I was reminded of the photo that the wife and husband posted after watching the movie.”

-The baby photoㅠㅠ was so cute tooㅠ

-Yeah, the 100th day photo tooㅠㅠ

“‘Fire’ had its official premiere at the Korea Independent Film Festival. There were a lot of controversies about the selection for the opening film, but it turned out to be worthy of it.”

-What other film could be the opening film if not Fire.

-22 Lee Seo-jun + independence movement story. It’s an opening film even if you take the KTX to see it.

-The name of the festival too.

-Why?

-Korea Independent Film Festival.

“Oh.”

Moviegoer and the viewers exclaimed.

“It’s just a different spacing, but it feels very meaningful. On the day that ‘Fire’ had its first screening at the Korea Independent Film Festival, it was revealed that actor Lee Seo-jun was in the film.”

-It was a chaos.

-Yeah, there was even a special episode of Working Man.

-I never dreamed that Lee Seo-jun was the driver.

-Me neither. I thought he was an actor who came later.

-When I watched the broadcast in December, I thought the driver was amazing! He saved them all! And then… it was Seo-jun. Our Seo-junㅠㅠ

-222 Lol, lol, lol, lol.

Moviegoer said with a smile.

“Yes. That’s how the special episode of Working Man was aired and right after that, the promotional video of Fire came out and announced the release date.”

-August 15thㅠㅠㅠ

-I thought it was because of the holidayㅠ

-22 I didn’t expect the release date to have a meaning too.

Moviegoer nodded his head repeatedly and admired.

“I went to see it on the first day too… It was really good. Oh, I’ll talk about this later in the second half of the review. Then, let’s start the review of the independent film Fire.”

Moviegoer showed the poster of [Fire] on the monitor. It was a Western-style mansion.

“The story of ‘Fire’, which begins with Min-han’s narration, mostly takes place in this Western-style mansion.”

-I will never forget.

-The things that happened

-In those few months.

-Lol, the unity is amazing even if you see it again and again, lol.

Moviegoer laughed with the viewers and returned to the main point.

“The first scene of Fire was the scene that came out in the promotional video. Min-han, who was standing in the field, saw the young master arrive in a car. The next day, Min-han went to work at the Western-style mansion at the old man’s request.”

-Min-han was funny, lol.

-At this point, it was just a small but humorous story.

-22 I thought it was a healing story where he was amazed by the Western-style things.

“I thought so too. But as soon as actor Lee Seo-jun appeared, the movie became tense.”

Moviegoer recalled that moment and smiled bitterly.

"I saw him faintly swinging his arm down. Even in that state, I could feel his emotion very well, so I was impressed and immersed, but his face was not visible because it was dark. I didn’t know that actor Lee Seo-jun was in the film until then. So I thought. ‘That college student actor. He’s good at acting. He’ll be a great actor later.’ "

-But it was Lee Seo-jun.

-Lee Seo-jun, the great actor.

-Lol, lol, lol, lol, lol.

“Exactly. You don’t know how surprised I was. But I thought the movie would be fun since actor Lee Seo-jun chose it… I was a bit disappointed too. I was really happy to think that there would be one more actor who could act well.”

The audience laughed at Moviegoer who was sincerely regretful.

“After that, Min-han, who was taking care of the painter, who had severely injured both arms, found him crying in his arms in the middle of the night when only the moonlight shone. Min-han felt pity for the unknown painter, who looked like that.”

-I thought he was crying because he couldn’t paintㅠㅠ

-It was much more complicated than thatㅠ

“Yes, it was. I’ll tell you more about that later. Min-han asked Mr. Lee and Madam Go why he was injured. He heard that he had a carriage accident while trying to save someone. I’ll tell you later if it was really a carriage accident or not.”

-?? Why do you postpone everything??

-It hasn’t been revealed yet.

-22 gmdlsym

“Yes, I’m going to. I’m doing a review from the perspective of someone who knows nothing. Later, Min-han, who became attached to the unknown painter, asked the merchant for painting tools.”

-He was a stationery seller.

-ㅋㅋㅋstationery sellerㅋㅋㅋ

-??? : I paint Western paintings.

-It was so funnyㅋㅋㅋ

-But I was glad that the unknown painter became cheerfulㅠㅠ

-Min-han also learned how to read and writeㅠㅠ

-I thought it was a healing story, so I expected him to meet a benefactor laterㅠㅠ

-It was a healing story overall, but it was a completely different kind of healing than we expected.

-Com—-pletely different.

Moviegoer shook his head.

“I really couldn’t imagine it. The twist at the end was… Let’s go back to the review. The unknown painter’s condition improved enough to go for a walk. And then two letters arrived. One was a letter informing someone’s death, and the other was a letter that changed the mood of the movie ‘Fire’.”

-I thought Min-han only read Hangul, so I wondered what kind of letter it was.

-ㅋㅋㅋI only read the particles, so I had no idea what it was about.

“Yes, Min-han couldn’t read it, so the audience didn’t know either, but the unknown painter read it for him. It was a sentence that you might have heard once if you studied history.”

-We, here and now,

-Proclaim that our Joseon is an independent nation

-And that the people of Joseon are a self-reliant people

-We declare!

-We declare!!

-I copied it in advance… Why duplicate?!!

-ㅋㅋㅋYou got it wrongㅋㅋ

-Wow. It doesn’t match sometimes.

-???: Both out!

-ㅋㅋIs this a game of witsㅋ

The audience and the viewers laughed at the failed unity.

-But I understand. I also wanted to shout ‘We declare!!’ with excitement.

-22 I get goosebumps every time I see that scene.

“In modern Korean, it means, ‘We, today, declare that our Joseon is an independent nation and that the people of Joseon are a self-reliant people.’ It was the Gyeongbokgung Declaration of Independence. The surprise at that time was… really… hard to express in words.”

-222 I was really surprised.

-How did they connect it like that?!

-I wanted to watch the beginning again after seeing that.

-Me too. I felt like there was something I missed.

“Then let’s take a look together. The first scene of the movie.”

-The village elder?

“It’s a car.”

Moviegoer showed a picture of a car that looked similar to the one that the unknown painter had arrived in on the monitor.

-…Wrong.

Moviegoer explained with a smile.

“As you saw in the later part of the movie, there were police officers. They were the enemies of the independence activists during the Japanese colonial era. I’ll tell you more later, but it seems that the unknown painter was captured by them.”

“It must have been very difficult for the unknown painter, who had revealed his face and been injured, to come here from Hanyang. Walking was hard, and he had to use a vehicle, but a carriage was easy to look down on.”

-So he used a car!

“Yes. A car that only the wealthy could afford. That’s what protected the unknown painter from the police officers.”

-If the exterior is shiny, it’s hard to check who’s inside.

-22 It’s hard to stop someone who looks powerful.

-Ah, then Min-han’s familiarity with the car was…!

“It means that there were people like the unknown painter.”

-lomgokotnㅠㅠ

“The next thing to look at is the village elder that you mentioned. He reacted a little slowly to the news of a new guest, and he said that he hoped he would get well soon when Min-han said that.” 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

-The elder knew too.

-22 The villagers knew too.

“Yes, I think so too. They all knew why the guests who came to the Western-style mansion were here.”

-New guest came > Ah… Another poor person who got hurt while doing something came…

-How many people cameㅠㅠㅠ

Moviegoer opened his mouth with a slightly choked voice.

“…As you guessed, this Western-style mansion was a place where people who were injured or hiding while doing independence activities could recuperate. It was for security reasons that Min-han and the village children, who were wild colts, couldn’t enter, and that the gate was closed double and triple.”

-As expe

-I knew it, but tearsㅠㅠ

-I thought they closed it because of thieves.

-They were thieves.

-22 Those thieves…!

“And then there’s something about the unknown painter.”

Moviegoer continued with a sad expression.

“The serious wounds that reached his fingers from his trembling arms and hands. Mr. Lee and Madam Go said it was a carriage accident, but… As you guessed, it was the aftermath and scars of torture.”

-gskgdㅠㅠ

“And one more thing.”

-ㅠㅠㅠ??

“You have to pay attention to the unknown painter’s room, which was dark without a single ray of light. And Mr. Lee’s words that he should close the door tightly. Why do you think the unknown painter was afraid of light?”

Moviegoer coughed lightly and continued.

“There’s a kind of torture that doesn’t let you sleep. I think they kept shining light on him during that torture, to keep the unknown painter awake.”

-uaa

-ㅠㅠㅠXXXs!

-$!^&!##

The chat room was filled with curses. Of course, they were curses that avoided filtering, but the emotions of anger were clearly conveyed.

-(severe curse)(severe curse)(severe curse)

-Ah! I’m going crazy with frustration! I want to swear!!

-I’m doing it right now. My mom asked me if I was crazy.

-I just heard someone say, hey you dogxxs!!

Moviegoer quickly opened his mouth. He wanted to swear too, but that would be a big trouble.

“I understand your feelings, but… Please calm down.”

-It’s a relief that it was a happy endingㅠㅠ

-22 If the unknown painter diedㅠㅠ

-But in reality, there were many people who passed away.

-eheheheheongㅠㅠㅠ

Moviegoer nodded his head with a bitter expression.

“We shouldn’t forget them. Then let’s go back to the movie review. The unknown painter, who couldn’t paint because of the aftermath of torture, hurt himself or cried alone at night. The narration said that he might have regretted it then.”

Moviegoer took a sip of water that was next to him.

“That shows that the people who did the independence movement were no different from ordinary people. They hoped for independence and acted on it, but the painter who couldn’t paint because of the aftermath was not such a great person, so he regretted doing the independence movement for a moment. But he was also angry at himself for having such a feeling. And he regretted and despaired, and got angry… He didn’t know what to do.”

-Yeah. You can’t help but regret it for a momentㅠ

-There were people who betrayed the independence movement.

-The unknown painter’s case was painting, but when it comes to family, it’s really… I think they would have a lot of trouble.

-That’s why they’re more amazing peopleㅠㅠ
