I can't see that
I can't...
A Smile
You'd better
have a closer examination.
Why?
Have You ever heard
about tublar vision?
Tubular vision
here's some informations about
photography schools in U. S
Duke offers many jobs and
in New York,
you have other choices
Hey, you're stretching it.
Look at this.
Can take care of my own business
Did you go to the clinic?
Yes
Is your eyesight worse?
Or is it some allergies?
Allergy?
Well, it's a matter of my vision...
I don't know.
I didn't get a detailed exam.
Maybe you stay too long time
in the darkroom?
Got new contact lenses,
It's alright.
Hey, it's me.
Oh,
it's you! It's on the table.
Did you take these kinds of pictures
when you were in school?
A couple of times...
Is this for a magazine?
Yes, kind of...
Professor Ahn, he has a big project
for Biennale, I heard.
The Future Buddha Project!?
I'm in the project.
- You? Wow...
- I just have a small role.
The national treasure
#83 Thinking Buddha,
Can you get me a print,
I mean of the national treasure.
My french pantomime friend saw it
somewhere and was very fascinated.
No problem.
It's that smile.
Sojung, It's heavy. Give it to me.
I'm fine. Just don't be late
- Give it to me.
- I'm alright.
It's going to get dark soon.
We'd better go back.
Let's keep going.
We have a flashlight.
The weather forecast is
different here.
We could see the stars
on our way here...
Other people who reached
the top must not have seen it.
Don't be angry.
We're lucky to find this place.
Come here, it's cold there.
You scientists will never find out
the substance of a particle.
The ultimate substance...
it's unknowable.
That kind of obsession is not
different from a material desire.
You know the phrase
'the empty is the full.'
Yes, I'm full of desire.
I'm sorry, I was late.
You know Yoo Sung-U
Thousands of shooting stars will fall
like rain next year.
Let's go see it.
- Really?
- Yeah...
you want some coffee?
No, thank you.
It's really solid one.
No problem inside,
marks outside will
remain forever though.
Repair these too.
Couldn't you take the rest
even after the midterm?
It's quite tough grading tests
and helping professor...
I should prepare my thesis during
this break, I'll be a dormitory prisoner.
You're always like that.
Let's have lunch
at this cafeteria sometime.
The food in here is awful.
That's interesting.
Sojung! Sojung!
What are you doing?
Well, I'm just helping out
my publisher friend.
Look at them.
Dont' know why I'm doing this,
don't know exactly why I'm in sorrow,
can't say exactly
don't know my sorrow mind
know I shouldn't do like this,
know it's a past dream,
I'll be a dormitory prisoner.
We had kept fighting.
Why did you fight?
She insisted she can't
divorce because of kids,
That can't be a reason for
wielding the knife.
We fought until 4 o'clock a.m.
When
we got to the Seoul Station
and suddenly
he grabbed a knife
in the empty train.
To be kicked out of my house,
'cause my husband found out everything.
After that I managed
to get a job
at the club
and met this guy there again.
Why do we live like this?
If you didn't wield the knife...
You started this fucking play
with fire...!
Yun-Sil, Jae-Min,
Oh, my poor children,
my husband would not
let me see them.
You know,
I had to go to jail for.
And now you became a singer.
Right! My dream was
to be a singer.
Her dream was to be a singer!
Where were you?
On the hill, back there.
Hill?
- You got water from the hill.
- Yes, It's fresh.
What happened to my memory?
What's this about
a knife and persimmons?
The woman likes persimmons, and wanted
to buy some before getting on the train.
They didn't have a knife... But then,
the seller gave them a knife.
So...?
While travelling from Pusan to Seoul,
they ate up all persimmons...
I got it. So with that knife he did it.
Only if you don't drink so much!
That's the way I am.
Anyway it's OK
'cause you remember.
Wait... l'm going to have coverage on
Mongolia and central Asia.
I can hook you up to be
my photographer, if you want.
Mongolia! When?
Whenever you see the light,
push the button.
Now look straight on a head...
Put your chin there!
You'll be able to see all of Seoul as if
you're looking down from the sky,
Please enjoy,,,
Have you heard about tubular vision?
Tubular vision? No.
It's a disease when the field of
vision gets narrowed as a tunnel.
But eyesight is OK?
It's getting worse too.
In most cases, they get lost.
What's the actual name
of the disease?
Retinitis Pigmentosa.
And?
That's what I got.
Well, but no one knows
whether it's gonna get worse or stop.
Sojung,
so how is it now?
It's OK for the moment.
Any way to cure it?
No, not now.
What causes it?
Well... it could be genetic
or environment or anything...
Who knows...?
Why did this have to
happen to us?
Why?
Did you go on location?
You never came to see me,
Well... to avoid more work...
I turned off my phone.
Why? It's still early.
I decided not to go abroad to study.
What are you talking about?
It's been a long time.
I mean... we'd better break up...
I can't bear it anymore.
Your eyesight got worse?
We decided to keep going
as planned.
Sojung, what are you
going to do for
several months alone. Let's go together.
No, I won't go. You just go alone.
- Why are you doing this?
- I won't go.
I don't want to.
Tell me honestly.
Are you seeing another guy?
No, it's not like that.
What's going on then?
Everything is so uncertain.
It's ridiculous to
go study photography now.
And I might want to join the team
leaving for Mongolia this fall.
Anything left?
Anything left?
Two years we spent together,
is that nothing to you?
It's too easy and one-sided.
We don't even know
what'll happen to your eyes.
1 year or 2 years or
10 years?
Even in the worst case
it's much better for you
to be in America.
You're totally right.
But' I don't wanna do that
You, selfish egoist!
In the end you'll be stuck
in your lab and
I'll be left
in the darkness alone.
That's the only thing you can think?
Don't you think we were
destined to meet each other?
Well, I think it was by chance.
I said it's destiny 'cause
it was an incredible chance.
There's no destiny.
It's just a kind of chance.
What? What did I say
when we started this relationship?
I said don't start
if we can't go through.
- Jisuk! Leave me alone!
- You always do what you want to do
You decide the begining and the end...
Don't...
Family
Hurry up. We have to leave.
- I'm home.
- You're early today.
Look at this.
The whole town showed up.
- Didn't you go back to Seoul?
- No.
You want some?
No! I'm gonna get dinner soon.
I'm home.
Papa
I'm starving.
Didn't even get lunch.
I'm cooking rice. You want to
have some dishes first?
Fix it quickly.
- Poke mongs.
- Repeat again. Pocket monster.
Poke mongs.
- Poc. Ket. Mons. Ter.
- Poke mongs.
P-o-c-k-e-t-
m-o-n-s-t-e-r,
pocket monster.
Pokemong!
How dare?
Minsu!
What's wrong with you?
Don't I look alright?
Well, it's strange.
You stay here so long
and look depressed.
Just to take a rest at home.
Going abroad would make you
miss home!
- Mom?
- Why?
Nothing...
Mom... Among our family, is there
anyone who has bad eyesight?
Eyesight?
You have bad eyesight!
You read too much
when you were a kid.
I mean, someone else...
- My brother wears glasses, and...
- No... I mean...
I don't know your father's side.
This funeral ceremony
got me exhausted.
Sojung,
let's go together with your car.
Where?
It seems your family has trees.
What?
I see trees.
In our family...?
There's no such thing.
I see two trees.
There's no such thing...
You've been in peace
for a long time.
You shouldn't get on his nerve!
What are you doing now?
Where are you going?
This might not be the place.
It's been a long time.
Since I last came here.
I understand.
He, I mean your grand father,
an educated and
rich man I heard,
might have been involved
in the Tonghak
Revolution, or might have lost all
his money because of concubines...
I'm not sure
since he died young.
We need a saw.
Let me go and get it.
They won't grow any more with
this and their roots will get dry.
You, go and get your wife
and baby this weekend.
I will.
It's so often...
It's not long after your grandma died.
You need to be careful
about bad rumour.
It's not easy
to be an bureaucrat.
Whew! Minsu! Take this!
What happended?
You were sleeping from early this evening.
What kind of nightmare did you have?
Let her sleep.
Go have dinner.
Hey, what's wrong?
You know his temper. How come
you always get on his nerve!
Have we tranquilizers?
Such a stubborn girl!
We did everything...
I thought we have no more trouble...
During the mourning period for
your grandma,
why do you keep causing trouble?
Go and get your wife and son!
Now he is an adult.
Kill me! Kill me!
Spit it out.
Is it hot?
My heart is beating, I tell only you,
I'm 17 years old,
Come gently come softly
under the willow
tree in the shy starlight,
Come gently,,,
Smile
It's out of focus in the film.
I think something wrong with
your auto focus.
It was a manual camera.
That was the last picture
I took for the day.
My eyes must have been
very tired.
The other one is really nice.
Bring other film,
then I'll print it agian.
It's OK.
This is Sojung.
About the Future Buddha project...
The thinking Buddha pictures
I took are printed out?
Already?
How are the pictures?
Nothing... just...
Yes, I'll be there. See you then.
Good!
But one more close-up of
the face would have been great.
Why are they so out of focus!
Someone said lmpressionism was
created by painters with bad eyesight.
So, I experimented with photographs
to see what would happen.
There was an Indian painter who
used to be blind in one eye.
Later, he lost the sight
of the other one.
However, he still paints,
with a helper boy.
But, photography is a different case.
I knew you wouldn't like it.
Then why did you show me?
What do you think about me
working in a studio?
You said you like traveling
around better.
Well, that's true.
It's 3,000 won.
Enjoy!
I should've ordered one more dish.
That's fine.
You got your hair permed.
Yeah. It still smells?
No.
You are wearing a new sweater.
Colleagues of my department
presented it. Isn't it a bit dark?
Looks nice.
When are you going to leave?
Tomorrow.
It's later than you planned.
Yes...
What time?
9:20 a.m.
9:20
Then, it won't be night
When you arrive there.
Yeah...
You're not going to give up
photography, are you?
Well, I don't know yet.
Jisuk, will you tell me
when you get to know this...
whether I'm programmed like this
or what is programmed is me?
If you change your mind,
come to me.
If my mind changes.
My hairs doesn't smell?
Yes, it does.
I'm at my aunt's home to write
a short story.
I was gonna go up to Seoul
this week, but got a reporting job.
It's about Kyungju city.
Come here to take photographs.
It's not far from here.
This area is my...
Hello. Yeah.
You're so hard to reach...
Well...
Are they working here?
You mean
"A Passionate duet Sook & Chul"?
They left last month and
we have a better group now.
Can you go to Mongolia?
I'll be fine. I'm going to ride a horse
In Mongolia, too.
Has Jisuk gone?
We broke up.
You guys were
in love too much.
Was there any problem
between you and him?
It happens. People meet and
separate
in their lives...
You say as if you lived
one hundred years.
I mean,
I've heard people say that.
Wow! Nice!
What?
Nothing special.
A hill and old trees
in the middle of city!
Yeah... it's an old tomb.
- A tomb?
- Yes,
cross over this street,
there are bigger tombs of kings.
See it again if you want.
This is the other side of it.
It's only a tomb and trees...
Sojung,
any place you wanna go?
Well, when my grandfather had a stroke
His concubine for 20 years left him.
During the whole life time
he had been a notable playboy.
But when he got sick,
he came back home.
It's a pity my aunt should take care of him.
Anyway he is poor too.
Hello. Yeah.
Now I'm OK.
One moment.
You're my guest for my birthday,
especially as a representative
of photographers.
Your birthday?
Younger ones are
too busy to remember things.
It was me
who got a small camera
in this city for the first time.
Oh, it was you!
The pictures I took when
I was young are somewhere.
Someone must have taken it off.
I did the calligraphy there.
You did it all?
No. No. The powerful one
on the left, I did that.
Grandpa,
what are you doing?
You know where the picture
on the wall is?
The one of this house and
the landscape.
I guess I saw it when I was a kid.
Dad might put it away.
Let's look for it.
This is where you want to go?
You gave me a choice.
There's nothing to see...
only a lotus feature on the ceiling.
In the North area, many frescos
have still remained in the ancient tombs.
The painting of the Sun, the Moon,
Constellation, big trees
even the flying God and goddess
in clothes with wings.
Were they clothes?
I thought they were wings
risen under their armpits.
It's clothes.
They are called Chuni or Wooi.
Gods fly because
they have clothes With wings?
They have these clothes
because they are Gods.
I' II go there alone.
- Are you OK alone?
- Absolutely.
I'll be back soon.
Fright
We need at least 3 months.
But if you're in hurry,
let's make it intensive.
Then you must pay more.
Yeah, I agree.
Just kidding...
Everyone who takes
lessons here are very serious,
work harder
if you want to do a solo flight
in such a short period of time.
I know, I'll work hard.
I know you can't carry all of this
but won't you miss them?
Further, to buy all of them there again...
Well... you can get a lot of
used stuffs in America.
- I'll keep this one.
- OK.
You're really stubborn!
I told you that you can't.
It's so tough to come here
a few times a week.
I'll stay here
until my first solo flight.
It won't take long.
I passed the driving test
on my first trial.
Know it would be different from
flight, though...
I'm so nervous.
Let me read your palm-lines.
You have a long life.
Don't worry about it.
I have to go to the restroom.
Thank you!
Sojung, what are you up to
since you won't study abroad?
I'm going to marry the photographer
who came here instead of you,
But we're quarrelling everyday
as we explore Mongolia,,,
Can you hear it?
Because of this music,
I fell in love with this guy,
Jeen!
One more try!
OK. One more try!
It's foggy so often
because of the river.
It's not a good place for an airfield.
Is this the South Han River?
Where does it flow?
Well... to the West Sea?
Shall we drink some beer?
I was just kidding about
flying around the world.
Flying high gives
a broad vision.
Right,
a broad vision...
I had a dream like that
when I applied
to the air force
in the age of 19...
Flying high and going anywhere...
It was good.
It's because you haven't
done it lately. Me too.
No.
It's because I got sober.
Shall we give up?
Last year, a gardner took a lesson.
When he got the license,
he presented me these three.
What happened to this one?
Well,
there always exists a healthy one
and sick one too. It's just like that.
Let's do it...
Let's do it...
Let's do it...
Let's do it...
Now I don't want to...
Let's do it...
Let's do it...
If you want to, stay awake.
Sojung! Yesterday,
it was windy day here,
I remembered the first day
we have met,
I'm sorry I wasn't there for you
when you needed me most,
Even though Man evolves much more
and the Science develops brilliantly,
We only perceive things within the limited
ways of perception of each individual,
Then why do you always want to look
beyond the boundaries,,,?
This is the answer to your last question,
A Zen priest wrote this poem looking at
the mirror before he died,
80 years ago Thou art I,
and now 80 years after I am Thou
Sojung! I know there are a lot of
unknowns and worries
but I want us
to go through them together,
,,, to missing Sojung
From Jisuk, Boston
The weather is caprious 'cause
you're gonna leave soon.
I know you're ready for
your solo flight
but let's wait for a better day.
Let's go out together.
I'm OK. I'll watch TV.
Did I lock the door?
This animal took after the nebula
lives in the deep sea,,,
Here!
Jeen!

There's no destiny.
It's just a kind of chance.
What? What did I say

I said don't start
if we can't go through.
- Jisuk! Leave me alone!
- You always do what you want to do
You decide the begining and the end...
Don't...
Family
Hurry up. We have to leave.
- I'm home.
- You're early today.

pocket monster.
Pokemong!
How dare?
Minsu!
What's wrong with you?
Don't I look alright?
Well, it's strange.
You stay here so long
and look depressed.
Just to take a rest at home.
Going abroad would make you
miss home!
- Mom?
- Why?
Nothing...
Mom... Among our family, is there
anyone who has bad eyesight?
Eyesight?
You have bad eyesight!
You read too much
when you were a kid.
I mean, someone else...
- My brother wears glasses, and...
- No... I mean...
I don't know your father's side.
This funeral ceremony
got me exhausted.
Sojung,
let's go together with your car.
Where?
It seems your family has trees.
What?
I see trees.
In our family...?
There's no such thing.
I see two trees.
There's no such thing...
You've been in peace
for a long time.
You shouldn't get on his nerve!
What are you doing now?
Where are you going?
This might not be the place.
It's been a long time.
Since I last came here.
I understand.
He, I mean your grand father,
an educated and
rich man I heard,
might have been involved
in the Tonghak
Revolution, or might have lost all
his money because of concubines...
I'm not sure
since he died young.
We need a saw.
Let me go and get it.
They won't grow any more with
this and their roots will get dry.
You, go and get your wife
and baby this weekend.
I will.
It's so often...
It's not long after your grandma died.
You need to be careful
about bad rumour.
It's not easy
to be an bureaucrat.
Whew! Minsu! Take this!
What happended?
You were sleeping from early this evening.
What kind of nightmare did you have?
Let her sleep.
Go have dinner.
Hey, what's wrong?
You know his temper. How come
you always get on his nerve!
Have we tranquilizers?
Such a stubborn girl!
We did everything...
I thought we have no more trouble...
During the mourning period for
your grandma,
why do you keep causing trouble?
Go and get your wife and son!
Now he is an adult.
Kill me! Kill me!
Spit it out.
Is it hot?
My heart is beating, I tell only you,
I'm 17 years old,
Come gently come softly
under the willow
tree in the shy starlight,
Come gently,,,
Smile
It's out of focus in the film.
I think something wrong with
your auto focus.
It was a manual camera.
That was the last picture
I took for the day.
My eyes must have been
very tired.
The other one is really nice.
Bring other film,
then I'll print it agian.
It's OK.
This is Sojung.
About the Future Buddha project...
The thinking Buddha pictures
I took are printed out?
Already?
How are the pictures?
Nothing... just...
Yes, I'll be there. See you then.
Good!
But one more close-up of
the face would have been great.
Why are they so out of focus!
Someone said lmpressionism was
created by painters with bad eyesight.
So, I experimented with photographs
to see what would happen.
There was an Indian painter who
used to be blind in one eye.
Later, he lost the sight
of the other one.
However, he still paints,
with a helper boy.
But, photography is a different case.
I knew you wouldn't like it.
Then why did you show me?
What do you think about me
working in a studio?
You said you like traveling
around better.
Well, that's true.
It's 3,000 won.
Enjoy!
I should've ordered one more dish.
That's fine.
You got your hair permed.
Yeah. It still smells?
No.
You are wearing a new sweater.
Colleagues of my department
presented it. Isn't it a bit dark?
Looks nice.
When are you going to leave?
Tomorrow.
It's later than you planned.
Yes...
What time?
9:20 a.m.
9:20
Then, it won't be night
When you arrive there.
Yeah...
You're not going to give up
photography, are you?
Well, I don't know yet.
Jisuk, will you tell me
when you get to know this...
whether I'm programmed like this
or what is programmed is me?
If you change your mind,
come to me.
If my mind changes.
My hairs doesn't smell?
Yes, it does.
I'm at my aunt's home to write
a short story.
I was gonna go up to Seoul
this week, but got a reporting job.
It's about Kyungju city.
Come here to take photographs.
It's not far from here.
This area is my...
Hello. Yeah.
You're so hard to reach...
Well...
Are they working here?
You mean
"A Passionate duet Sook & Chul"?
They left last month and
we have a better group now.
Can you go to Mongolia?
I'll be fine. I'm going to ride a horse
In Mongolia, too.
Has Jisuk gone?
We broke up.
You guys were
in love too much.
Was there any problem
between you and him?
It happens. People meet and
separate
in their lives...
You say as if you lived
one hundred years.
I mean,
I've heard people say that.
Wow! Nice!
What?
Nothing special.
A hill and old trees
in the middle of city!
Yeah... it's an old tomb.
- A tomb?
- Yes,
cross over this street,
there are bigger tombs of kings.
See it again if you want.
This is the other side of it.
It's only a tomb and trees...
Sojung,
any place you wanna go?
Well, when my grandfather had a stroke
His concubine for 20 years left him.
During the whole life time
he had been a notable playboy.
But when he got sick,
he came back home.
It's a pity my aunt should take care of him.
Anyway he is poor too.
Hello. Yeah.
Now I'm OK.
One moment.
You're my guest for my birthday,
especially as a representative
of photographers.
Your birthday?
Younger ones are
too busy to remember things.
It was me
who got a small camera
in this city for the first time.
Oh, it was you!
The pictures I took when
I was young are somewhere.
Someone must have taken it off.
I did the calligraphy there.
You did it all?
No. No. The powerful one
on the left, I did that.
Grandpa,
what are you doing?
You know where the picture
on the wall is?
The one of this house and
the landscape.
I guess I saw it when I was a kid.
Dad might put it away.
Let's look for it.
This is where you want to go?
You gave me a choice.
There's nothing to see...
only a lotus feature on the ceiling.
In the North area, many frescos
have still remained in the ancient tombs.
The painting of the Sun, the Moon,
Constellation, big trees
even the flying God and goddess
in clothes with wings.
Were they clothes?
I thought they were wings
risen under their armpits.
It's clothes.
They are called Chuni or Wooi.
Gods fly because
they have clothes With wings?
They have these clothes
because they are Gods.
I' II go there alone.
- Are you OK alone?
- Absolutely.
I'll be back soon.
Fright
We need at least 3 months.
But if you're in hurry,
let's make it intensive.
Then you must pay more.
Yeah, I agree.
Just kidding...
Everyone who takes
lessons here are very serious,
work harder
if you want to do a solo flight
in such a short period of time.
I know, I'll work hard.
I know you can't carry all of this
but won't you miss them?
Further, to buy all of them there again...
Well... you can get a lot of
used stuffs in America.
- I'll keep this one.
- OK.
You're really stubborn!
I told you that you can't.
It's so tough to come here
a few times a week.
I'll stay here
until my first solo flight.
It won't take long.
I passed the driving test
on my first trial.
Know it would be different from
flight, though...
I'm so nervous.
Let me read your palm-lines.
You have a long life.
Don't worry about it.
I have to go to the restroom.
Thank you!
Sojung, what are you up to
since you won't study abroad?
I'm going to marry the photographer
who came here instead of you,
But we're quarrelling everyday
as we explore Mongolia,,,
Can you hear it?
Because of this music,
I fell in love with this guy,
Jeen!
One more try!
OK. One more try!
It's foggy so often
because of the river.
It's not a good place for an airfield.
Is this the South Han River?
Where does it flow?
Well... to the West Sea?
Shall we drink some beer?
I was just kidding about
flying around the world.
Flying high gives
a broad vision.
Right,
a broad vision...
I had a dream like that
when I applied
to the air force
in the age of 19...
Flying high and going anywhere...
It was good.
It's because you haven't
done it lately. Me too.
No.
It's because I got sober.
Shall we give up?
Last year, a gardner took a lesson.
When he got the license,
he presented me these three.
What happened to this one?
Well,
there always exists a healthy one
and sick one too. It's just like that.
Let's do it...
Let's do it...
Let's do it...
Let's do it...
Now I don't want to...
Let's do it...
Let's do it...
If you want to, stay awake.
Sojung! Yesterday,
it was windy day here,
I remembered the first day
we have met,
I'm sorry I wasn't there for you
when you needed me most,
Even though Man evolves much more
and the Science develops brilliantly,
We only perceive things within the limited
ways of perception of each individual,
Then why do you always want to look
beyond the boundaries,,,?
This is the answer to your last question,
A Zen priest wrote this poem looking at
the mirror before he died,
80 years ago Thou art I,
and now 80 years after I am Thou
Sojung! I know there are a lot of
unknowns and worries
but I want us
to go through them together,
,,, to missing Sojung
From Jisuk, Boston
The weather is caprious 'cause
you're gonna leave soon.
I know you're ready for
your solo flight
but let's wait for a better day.
Let's go out together.
I'm OK. I'll watch TV.
Did I lock the door?
This animal took after the nebula
lives in the deep sea,,,
Here!
Jeen!
