no one gets beyond evil, my liberation notes, my country and the youth of may like i do
#shows so dear to me shows that have touched something so deep within me shows that continue to make me feel#beyond evil for it's intricate exploration of siblinghood and grief and community#my liberation notes for that lacking sense of excitement about life and feeling so unlovable and without purpose#my country for the deep complex relationships during times of political unrest and what it does to people that love each other#youth of may for the depiction of cruelty and outright oppression and violence imposed by a government on their own people#a scene i always think of is when the two boys break out of their sports camp & encounter the protest. then soldiers shooting at the crowd#one of the boys says north korea has invaded. it cant be south korean soldiers why would they shoot their own people. the naivitë kills me#this and han kang's human acts set around the same period of time. the student protest in may 1980#where the teen character at the beginning of the book asks why the dead bodies are wrapped with the flag#and why the national anthem is sung for them. when it was soldiers of that same country that killed them. for no reason#idk idkkkkkkk need to go to sleep#also i really really need to get back into reading and watching stuff instead of wasting time on tiktok. i say this every day#nesi rants
