Min Ji-suk runs a "ticket bar"where customers can purchase tickets for certain "services"in the town of Sokcho in Gangwon-do. She hires Miss Yang (Ahn So-young), Miss Hong (Lee Hye-young), and Se-young (Jeon Se-young) through the employment agency. Miss Yang and Miss Hong, who are well experienced in this type of business, are used to accepting propositions from customers. But Se-young, who is dating a college student named Min-su, rejects all requests for sexual favors. When Min-su professes to having problems with his tuition and finances, Se-young reassures him that she will procure the necessary funds for him. When the bar's clientele begins to dwindle because of Se-young, Ji-suk reprimands her severely. Se-young develops a close relationship with a Captain Pak and even allows him to sleep with her. She asks Captain Pak to find Min-su employment on a boat, but when Min-su comes to Sokcho for his new job, he sees how Se-young has been making her living. Shocked, he turns his back on the job and leaves. When he eventually returns to Sokcho, he scathingly denounces Se-young's morality and severs their relationship. Decades ago, Ji-suk had stumbled into the bar business in a desperate effort to support her husband, who was serving time in prison; she later left him voluntarily out of shame and moral degradation. Concerned that Se-young will end up with the same fate, Ji-suk asks Min-su to meet with her. She begs him not to abandon Se-young, but he flatly refuses. Ji-suk reacts by pushing Min-su into the sea, and suffers a mental breakdown that lands her in a psychiatric institution.
一部什么都没讲的治愈系电影，通过用声音记录青少年观点和看法的微纪录片的形式，再加上各类儿童读物里的经典文本，一个分裂的家庭走向平和，菲尼克斯的声音真的好温柔，但是除此之外就再无亮点了。
又是一部成人通过儿童找寻自我的电影，和熊孩子在一起的时光，看得我好焦虑
这么平淡的一部电影，没刻意煽情却给我整落泪了。大人与孩子都在试着教会对方生活，大人不一定时刻聪明，小孩也不一定永远愚笨。
PS:华金在小丑爆红后，接的竟是这样一部温柔的作品，他真是个有想法的演员，或者因为有了孩子才选择的这个题材？
很温情，亲密关系的核心是能真实地表达情绪，喜欢两个人在林子里吼着吼着就笑了的那段，最后小侄子问他是否会记得两人发生的这一切，莫名戳中泪点…（是不是艺术家都喜欢思考死亡，trying to turn mundane things into eternity
在后期转制黑白，演员选了华金的情况下，却拍出了可能是颁奖季最温柔的一部电影。最大的优点当然是形式上的，纪录片式的采访贯穿始终，主要人物的表达也经常是站在受访者的视角。在主题上则有点保守，还是孩子和中年人互相取暖疗伤那套东西。不过在对原生家庭、亲子关系探讨越发极端的今天，这样菊次郎式的处理反而是一种另类了。
要讲的东西蛮有感触的，在回顾自我的时候绕不开的是童年，是父母，也总会把自己的缺陷归结于父母的教育。而在现实面前脆弱的无力应对的成人也很容易在面对孩子时展现出自己的控制欲，想要把孩子塑造成自己“理想中的人”，但却很难真正去贴近孩子的内心理解孩子的想法，也无法真正展现对孩子的尊重。而反过来孩子也会在这样的家庭环境中产生对自我的疑惑，逐渐迷失人格。社会的冷漠就这么渗透到家庭了，一定程度上和伯格曼的“随血脉传递的焦虑”“人在成长的过程中就是带上各种面具”是一致的。
情绪的不断变化，脆弱敏感又如此吸引人，可以一直一直拍下去。
不明白为什么要用黑白 扣一星
叔侄情，兄妹情，夫妻情，母子情。
不知道某国多少年能拍出这种有细腻感情的片来
虽然没有旁白，但片中读的那些书、做的那些访谈、录的那些环境音（所谓“使不朽”）、日记性质的自述、平添忧郁的黑白画面，都让人想起泰伦斯·马利克式的（故作）深沉。片中所有受访者都是真实出镜即兴发挥（包括一个后来被枪杀的叫布莱恩特的黑人小男孩），这倒挺适合方法派的华金·菲尼克斯。不知道这种亦幻亦真的骚操作是不是受了去年《无依之地》的启发。
“你们这代人已经缺少了这种安宁静”
简直是 绝佳的跨年电影 哈哈哈 Phoenix is priceless 😌
高开低走的片子。完全浪费了菲尼克斯的主演。和众多亲子心理探索题材的片子相比并没能看到更多的新意。小男主的角色定位和表演都没能打动我。黑白画面非但不能加分还丧失细节。最近几部黑白都有这个问题。
不给细分。因为这部电影太“我”了。它适合一个小孩，一位家长，或者一个像我一样有很多疑问却得不到答案的青少年。
such a beautiful movie in its own right. magically, first time feel right to have a movie in black and white. often thought childhood is the most carefree period and forgot it's also almost the most sensitive time, compelled to take in the turbulences from surrounding environments, and struggled to cope as much as adults, so not really an easy time in retrospect. this movie covers this topic with such tenderness and well crafted structure, nicely done
a pure person, a pure movie
分不清真实的边界在哪，可控的范围在哪，崩溃的握拳时机在哪。就是生活。
很温暖的片很治愈的片 拯救侄子的同时也被侄子拯救 也填补了过去兄妹间的间隙 人生就是这样子 总是不断受伤害然后被自愈 走向死亡
