Queermovie 20 (2013) - full transcript

We wanted to depict the gay community in Korea, its abject reality in a beautiful and sensitive way, and how this all surrounds Candy, a stunningly beautiful gay boy's year as a twenty-year old.

Shards of fading memories

I don’t want to go back to, but…

When I was in high school

The world

Was brightly shining on

But I, underneath the weight of my existence,

Was sinking, drowning, endlessly

Long time no see

Yes

Still looking pretty

What’s up?

Not much…

I heard you’re living with Cheolsoo now

…Yes

What, are you two going out?

You didn’t miss me?

(fade out)

You know…

Okay…what?

Someone keeps calling me



Who?

Some old guy

Are you seeing him?

I met him on the Internet, and he keeps calling

Why is some old guy calling you?

He told me he was a college student

Why do you keep meeting those kinds of people?

You always act like this, that’s why

So, I did something wrong?

Why are you so loose down there?

No, I’m just meeting a friend from high school.

Of course it’s a guy.

He’s sleeping right next to me.

Wake him?

Want to talk to him on the phone?

See you again. I’ll call

Seventeen

Fuck, that shit makes me sleepy just looking at it

Let’s go play a game, come on, hurry

Hurry up, come on.

Hey Candy’s here

But what are we playing at now?

Let’s do that one, that one

With him? He’ll be just like you guys

You know how to play?

You can do whatever the fuck you want with your hands, okay?

But you have to topple over the other person, just like this

And when the other person falls over, it’s over.

Why the fuck are you laughing, you idiot

Alright. Let’s start.

Lift your hands,

And push.

Push me.

Push me like you want to kill me.

There’s a cliff behind my back, okay?

Push, push me like this.

He’s hopeless.

Let’s just do this and end it.

He’s going to fall over again.

Where have you been?

I was just meeting someone…

Anything new?

Someone came to see you. It was a guy.

“Old guy”

Hello

Cheolsoo, you just need to stand there

Hey

Yes… I guess your friends aren’t here yet?

Um, they’ll get here later

Have a seat

It’s your first time in a place like this, huh?

Surprisingly, a lot of men liked me

But they were all the same

And not one could save me

Cheolsoo babe

What the fuck?

What the fuck is this?

What the hell?

Are you kidding me?

Fuck, answer me

What’s wrong with you?

I said, fucking answer me!

I won’t stop till you answer me

Look at this, he’s twitching!

Come on, come and try it

Try it, poke him

Fucking hell, you won’t answer me huh

I said, answer me!

I said, answer me!

Hey Cheolsoo…

Pain always comes with the smallest shard of hope

All that

Is in the past now
