AN AUTUMN IN THE SEVENTIES

I will see you later.

Look at me when you leave.

You call yourself a man?

Why, you brat!

Mom, do you have some money?

I want to go to the movies.

I just wanna see a movie.

HEY, hey. Chang-Gum!

What are you looking at?

PROFESSIONAL PORTRAITS

- I want a "Playboy". You got it? - I got it.

Nine dollars.

Why are you so late?

Come on!

Looks like about 30 pounds. Load it up.

Give me one more!

After I bone it, it'll only be 20 pounds.

Move your ass over.

Pull! Pull it, you dumbass!

Pull it, you dumbass!

Hey, you do it!

You fucking moron!

Light the burner and bring it in.

Enjoy your stew.

Oh, it's you.

How much?

- Just give me the usual. - Okay.

Look! It means "pleasure."

Look at this one.

"O-R-G-A-N-I-Z-E"

What are you doing? I need some more yellow paint.

"Address Unknown" again.

You've sent so many. Maybe you should give up.

Welcome.

Give me one mackerel can.

What?

Mackerel can.

No! They're not for sale!

Why?

This is Korea! Speak Korean!

I will go to America.

Where are they?

Get out! I won't sell to you!

Get out! Get out!

They're not for sale!

Are you pushing me?

I don't want to hear your stupid foreign talk!

Come here!

Bitch!

You fucking ruined my day!

You bastard.

You weren't like this when you were a boy.

You learned English well.

- You listened to your mom. - Shut up, you whore!

Before I stomp you to death!

I told you to stop this craziness!

Damn bastard!

No, Chang-Guk! Please, stop!

He hit you again? That rotten bastard!

Don't you call my son a bastard.

Who else would do this? I'll make sure he doesn't do it again.

You hit my son, and I'll kill you.

Let me see.

Damn it.

You wanna become like me, too?

Ma'am!

Here's your monthly pension. Give me your stamp.

You're lucky to have such an honorable father.

Did your father die in the Baekma-Goji battle?

Doesn't that bother you?

Your brother shot you with a toy gun, right?

Let me see. Let's see how bad it is.

Now you want to blind my dog, too?

Why do you leave it anywhere? And why is your eye my fault?

We were playing. You shouldn't have moved!

You can still see with one eye!

- You two fight all the time! - Damn it.

Where did your husband die? At the Nakdong River Battle?

I don't know. They haven't found the body.

What are you going to do about your daughter's eye?

They could fix it at the American military hospital.

If you're finished, go.

I feel bad for your daughter. She has her whole life ahead of her.

Whenever I hold an arrow, I remember the war.

At the Battle of Nakdong River, we fought a northern squadron.

I shot three of them dead!

- So why didn't you get a medal? - Exactly.

The government's so screwed up!

They gave them to those cowards who missed the action.

Look at this.

For this, all I get is a measly $30 a month.

Disgusting!

Pull it down, quick!

What's wrong? This is as good as a medal.

You think they give medals to just anybody?

Arrogant asshole!

Listen to the great Yankee ass-licker!

Yeah, but I never killed any one.

With you, it's always the war.

Why are you so proud that you killed three Koreans?

Sergeant Kim!

Are you proud of killing three men?

You scummy lowlife.

No wonder you have dog blood on your hands!

Sure! Let's see if you don't sell your dog to me.

Wanna bet?

Who's betting at this sacred archery field?

That's shit!

In the old days, a butcher wouldn't have been allowed to shoot arrows.

Only wealthy farmers could!

Times have surely changed. Now we have dogmeat hackers here.

Fuck you! A meat hacker!

Are you done talking?

- You guys are always fighting! - Give it a rest!

Want to see me grab a dog right now?

Got to be patient.

- Leave him alone. - He's asking for it! Shit!

All he's got is that pathetic pride of his.

Are we going to play or not?

You go first.

Really? Yes.

Will you be quiet!

What are you doing undressed? You crazy bitch!

- Mom! Where's my puppy? - I don't know.

Hey, Jihum.

About this big, and its fur is white...

with some black spots.

You'll be in each other's pants next.

Go home!

- Anybody here? - Yes, come in.

We want to sell a dog. We found it on the street.

I don't need such young...

I don't take puppies. Take it away.

I know you stole it.

Shit! It's still dog meat. Why won't she buy it?

Let's kill it and sell it.

Then she won't know it's a puppy.

Bring it here. Bring it here!

What... dammit!

What the hell?

Hey. You do it.

You dick! You dumb fuck.

You think I like doing this?

Why'd you hit my girlfriend yesterday?

You bastard!

Don't run away! You asshole!

Wait till you come crawling back.

Get back to work!

What the hell? Get out of here!

Get out of here. Get back to work!

Get out of here!

Get out of here! Bastard.

I don't need you around here!

Hey, that's enough!

You'll ruin the meat.

Come here.

You should've listened earlier, you moron.

I wouldn't have had to hit you. Here, have a swig.

To be a dog dealer, you gotta outstare them.

When a dog looks straight at you it's scary, right?

But you know what's scarier?

The human eye.

You know why dogs lower their tails when they see me?

Because there's fire in my eyes.

Look.

You want to go to your father's country?

Answer in English.

I know your mother taught you English by beating it into you.

Speaking English is nothing.

You gotta do everything those Yankees tell you to, everything!

By the way, you bastard, why did you hit my girl?

She's your mom, but she's my girlfriend.

Before you were born.

Look at me like I look at the dogs.

That's enough. Your eye's about to explode.

Hey-

Come over here, stupid.

Did you hear what I said?

If you went to school, I'd be two grades ahead of you.

But you don't, moron! What do you know better than us?

I'll ask, and you answer in English.

He asked if you wanted to go to school.

This is for being so dumb. Got it?

Got it?

- Answer with respect. - Yes.

We're not stealing. It's payment for the textbook.

Hey! Give me some more.

You little shit! What did you do?

What are you guys doing?

Hey, crossbreed!

Say that again!

If they do that to you again, come tell me.

What's this?

Have you ever seen a naked girl?

This is boring.

She's not undressing.

Are you okay? Look at me!

Let me see.

It's only a small cut.

How could she stab me with a pencil?

Does it hurt?

Shit, I'm going home.

Having fun?

I guess you saw me naked, like these pictures.

Even playing With my PUPPY-

I saw dogs doing it the other day.

It made me feel strange.

Look, just like dogs, right?

Get up, you bastard!

It's... a gun!

Shoot!

Shoot!

Do it. You don't have the guts. Shoot it!

Eunok, walk straight!

Eunok, what's wrong with you? Have you been drinking?

Eunok!

What's wrong with you?

I can't believe it.

35 pounds!

Is that all?

He's at least 40. Weigh him again.

Forget it! You should be thankful I'm buying it.

- Okay, don't lose your temper. - In the cage.

Put it in the noose, stupid!

Can't we let this one go? He's my friend's dog.

Don't talk shit. Put it in the noose!

Go!

You bastard!

Get over here, you bastard! Do you have any sense, dickhead?!

You asshole!

Stop right there!

Hey, Dog-Eye.

The dog's lying dead in my yard.

Get over here now.

Where did you bury it?

Tell me now, you moron!

I don't have the money...

so where is it buried?

Damn it!

Crazy bastard...

Good work.

Get some work done, okay?

What's going on? Back to work!

- What makes you so almighty? - Back to work!

Do some work!

No trouble, okay?

Son of a bitch! Where are you taking this innocent girl?

You think I don't know what you are?

You pretend to be nice and then eat her up.

I worked three years at Camp Carol.

Eunok, do you want to end up like Chang-Guk's ma?

Go home!

What are you saying? You can't give me my pension?

By any chance, have you heard from Mr. Wonli Jang?

How could I? He's dead!

They say your husband didn't die in the war...

he's alive in North Korea.

It's been confirmed that Jang Won-ll voluntarily went North.

Voluntarily?

So, if you ever see him around, report him to us.

And report to us if you leave the village. The kids, too.

We're the family of an honored soldier!

Not anymore, he's a defector.

The exact opposite. Bear that in mind.

We're always watching you.

Return the medal and certificate of merit by tomorrow.

Don't cry. They say father's alive!

What use is he alive? What are we going to live on?

Don't take it out on me, damn it.

What's wrong with you? What's the matter?

Who's the bastard? Tell me now!

Look at me!

Come here, you bastard!

Get up, asshole!

GYNECOLOGY CLINIC

Go in! Now!

Got any money?

They're hiring people to make underwear for the American soldiers.

Why stay at home? You got kicked out of school anyway.

Clear off and die, you worthless shit.

Damn it!

They're commie bastards, executed during the war.

He was a second lieutenant.

These bastards did this to me.

Anything else down there?

What's this? It looks important.

Look, shouldn't you report that to the police?

What, this rusty old thing?

Bury the bones by the river.

I always thought the water in our well was tasty.

They say that rotting corpses improve the taste.

- Clean this up. - Okay.

I bet it still works.

It's been a while since I heard a gunshot. It reminds me of the war.

How many commies did your father kill?

Three.

That's right, three commies, but no goddamn medal.

Don't tell anyone...

about the gun.

I... I'm having eye surgery today.

Is it that American soldier? No, don't have it done.

You want me to spend the rest of my life like this?

Hold me.

Hold me... hold me.

No! I like you the way you are!

Is this what you like?

Tell me the truth!

Are you sure you could smile at this for the rest of your life?

Are you?

Can you see me?

You got paid today, right?

He asked if you got paid.

You haven't been studying!

I'll ask you again, an easy one.

Why can't we be friends?

My name...

Who asked you your name?

Try it again with me!

If you can't answer me...

then you'll take five blows each.

You're a mixed-blood bastard, right?

Yeah, that's right, asshole!

Your mom was a western princess who sold herself for American soldiers, right?

Yeah, my mom was a Western princess. What you gonna do about it?

You fucking piece of shit!

Dicks like you, who are so English-hungry,

that'll go abroad and come back to sell off our country.

What's your answer?

You do the rest!

Harder!

You said five blows!

Are you in there, Dog-Eye?

What brings you to the butcher's?

Don't get your hands bloody. Use this.

Fuck, my hands are still bloody.

So who was it?

What's wrong?

Our wallets are gone! Who's been through our pockets?

You went into the shed for some water, right?

I just had some water, that's all!

Liar! You mix-blooded bastard!

What? You bastard!

What's going on here?

This bastard stole our wallets. He won't admit it!

I didn't do it!

You went in there, too. I saw you.

What?

So you're judge and jury are you? '

You're more suspicious than he is! Where are your things?

What? This is ridiculous!

Honey! Look at that!

Hey! Are you stealing our vegetables?

- Weren't you gonna throw this out? - What?

Fine talk from a thieving bitch!

I'll give you back! These are only cabbages!

What's the thieving bitch saying now?

They're not even fully grown!

- Plant them back again! - Thieving bitch? You bitch!

You life is shitty because you were so shameless!

What? What!

Crazy bitch!

Why am I a crazy bitch?!

Bye-bye.

Damn people.

That bastard!

You bastard! Why you keep hitting her?

Have you no pity for your mom?

He won't ever hit you again.

I kicked the living shit out of him.

You bastard! Who are you to hit my son?

He's already such a poor boy!

Fuck!

What the hell am I supposed to do?

Shoot. Shoot!

Bastard.

Bastard!

Rotten son of a bitch! What are you doing?

Chang-Guk... What's wrong with you today?

Bear it for a minute.

MQm!

Mom, I was wrong all this time.

Please, forgive me!

I want to live happily with you, too.

He killed dogs, and he died like a dog.

Don't talk like that in front of the dead!

Where is your son?

He killed the dog butcher!

Get out!

Chang-Guk. . . Chang-Gum!

are now searching for War veterans who did not receive medals...

due to administrative errors.

Anyone whose commanding officer filed a request...

contact the Ministry for National Defense...

by the 27m...

Service Number 72281444, Sgt. Kim Jung-Ho under Commander...

Maj. Gen. Lee Jung-Hak Regimental Commander...

Lt. Col. Jang Ul-Sung Commander, Kim Ki-Dong...

I killed three enemy soldiers at Nakdong River.

You found it?

Here! Now do you believe me?

Look.

Who didn't believe you?

We were just teasing you.

Is it real platinum?

Careful.

Who cares whether it's platinum or bronze? It's all about honor.

It looks good.

Beautiful!

Damn it!

Give me some money!

Are U.S. Soldiers that good?

You whore!

What are you doing?

Give it back!

Let me go, you bastard!

Shit!

Shameless bastard!

Playing with my sister... and being stingy with some bucks!

Chang-Gum!

Chang-Gum!

Hey!

Remember that time you hit me?

What are you staring at?

Don't look at me like that!

Look, I'm really scared now!

- Do you think I'm your inferior? - Have you gone crazy?

Fuck, let go of me! Son of a bitch!

Arrows are not to be shot like that.

Let me show you.

Hold the bow correctly.

Look directly at the target, hold your breath.

Empty your mind. Like this, pull it all the way back.

Got it? Try it once.

Hold it properly.

Stay calm, or you'll miss the target.

That's good.

Chang-Gum!

Chang-Gum!

Go away!

Go away!

- Eunok! - Mom!

- What's wrong? What is it? - Eunok!

- He's killing my Eunok! - Where?

Come on, cooperate.

Whose arrow is this?

You practice together. You must know!

We shot at the same time!

If you don't talk, all three of you will go to jail!

It's mine.

You're sure this is yours? Right?

I'm sure, so go ahead.

Officer Lee.

He has a war medal. Can't you go easy on him?

- It's not as if any one died. - It was an American soldier!

- Take him away. - Let my father go!

I shot him.

What's this nonsense? Go home, you brat!

What's going on here? Did you really do it?

Yes.

You idiot! Don't you know what a U. S. Soldier means?

Don't hit my son!

What's this?

Open your mouth.

Okay.

What are you doing here?

Bastard.

You had her too, didn't you?

That bitch's eye is messed up, but what a body!

You saw her breasts.

What the hell...

Officer!

Hey! What are you doing?

Let go, you son of a bitch!

Wake up! Get him loose!

C'mon, breathe! Are you all right?

Anyone home?

Anyone home?

I have a letter for you.

Stop! Stop the car!

- Bastard, stop what, punk? - Stop! Stop!

Stop! Stop the car!

Stop! Stop the car!
