00:00:37,125 --> 00:00:39,A SEE AT FILM CO.,LTD. Production

00:00:43,333 --> 00:00:46,Do you know what makes
the people angry the most?

00:00:47,375 --> 00:00:49,That's when you're betrayed
by someone you trusted.

00:00:49,958 --> 00:00:53,THIS FILM WAS INSPIRED BY REAL EVENTS
AND PEOPLE, BUT IT IS A WORK OF FICTION

00:00:58,083 --> 00:01:00,We g***t 5 chickens at home.

00:01:00,916 --> 00:01:03,2 roosters, and 3 hens.

00:01:03,625 --> 00:01:06,But they haven't laid any eggs in days.

00:01:07,458 --> 00:01:12,My one joy in life is to fry
up an egg for breakfast.

00:01:13,416 --> 00:01:14,You listening?

00:01:15,833 --> 00:01:17,Keep talking.

00:01:17,458 --> 00:01:21,So for the past 3 days I
kept watch by the coop.

00:01:21,541 --> 00:01:26,At 4AM, I caught a guy
red-handed, sneaking in.

00:01:26,625 --> 00:01:31,Know who it was? My
neighbor, Chang-shik.

00:01:32,083 --> 00:01:36,But that scoundrel,
he denied everything.

00:01:37,958 --> 00:01:39,Can you believe it?

00:01:39,208 --> 00:01:43,He said he came at 4AM to
give my chickens some food.

00:01:43,458 --> 00:01:47,Then you should go to
the village foreman, not me.

00:01:47,041 --> 00:01:48,No way.

00:01:49,291 --> 00:01:52,Chang-shik is the
foreman's cousin's son.

00:01:52,791 --> 00:01:57,People just blamed me for
accusing an innocent man.

00:01:58,375 --> 00:02:03,Now my hens cry each night
like they lost their children.

00:02:03,791 --> 00:02:05,I can't sleep.

00:02:14,875 --> 00:02:16,What's this?

00:02:16,333 --> 00:02:19,Tie bits of string to
your chickens' legs.

00:02:20,291 --> 00:02:24,Then late at night, put one of
your hens in Chang-shik's coop.

00:02:24,875 --> 00:02:28,In the morning call all the
villagers over to his place.

00:02:28,750 --> 00:02:32,"Now it's not just eggs,
he stole my hen!"

00:02:33,708 --> 00:02:38,When he denies it, say you tied
a red string on all your hen's legs.

00:02:38,833 --> 00:02:42,Not even the foreman's
grandfather could save him then.

00:02:43,041 --> 00:02:46,But can I really do that?

00:02:46,583 --> 00:02:48,He only took a few eggs.

00:02:50,458 --> 00:02:52,It's a cruel tactic.

00:02:52,666 --> 00:02:56,Or, you can just live
your life as a pushover.

00:03:01,666 --> 00:03:05,But Mr. Pharmacist,
what are you writing there?

00:03:07,333 --> 00:03:09,I told you not to call me that.

00:03:09,875 --> 00:03:13,The pharmacy is just a temporary job.

00:03:31,583 --> 00:03:32,Gentlemen!

00:03:32,791 --> 00:03:37,In order to secure proper
rights and status for yourselves,

00:03:37,334 --> 00:03:41,The democratization of this country...

00:03:37,666 --> 00:03:39,there are times to
negotiate, and times...

00:03:39,666 --> 00:03:40,Shut up!

00:03:40,708 --> 00:03:43,KIM Woon-bum, you commie!

00:03:44,291 --> 00:03:46,...and times when you must fight.

00:03:46,666 --> 00:03:49,If industrialists negotiate
in good conscience,

00:03:46,958 --> 00:03:49,1961, Inje County, Gangwon Province

00:03:49,563 --> 00:03:51,- Eat this, you commie!
- and promote transparency...

00:03:51,916 --> 00:03:53,Sir, how could you?

00:03:53,625 --> 00:03:55,- Don't listen to him!
- Take this man away.

00:03:55,666 --> 00:03:57,It's all lies!

00:03:57,625 --> 00:04:00,Let him be. Just let him be.

00:04:00,541 --> 00:04:02,He said leave me alone!

00:04:03,791 --> 00:04:09,All of us, in any situation,
have the right to speak.

00:04:10,916 --> 00:04:14,I respect this man's words.

00:04:14,958 --> 00:04:16,And what he says is correct!

00:04:16,791 --> 00:04:19,You mustn't elect a communist!

00:04:20,375 --> 00:04:24,But sir, why do you
think I'm a communist?

00:04:24,833 --> 00:04:29,You're running to hand over
our country to the North!

00:04:29,958 --> 00:04:31,Sir, as for me.

00:04:32,833 --> 00:04:38,During the war, the Northern
army threw me in Mokpo Prison,

00:04:38,875 --> 00:04:41,and I just barely escaped
the firing squad.

00:04:41,791 --> 00:04:46,A communist who was nearly
executed by the North Koreans?

00:04:46,958 --> 00:04:51,If I'm a communist,
I'm a pretty stupid one.

00:04:56,791 --> 00:04:58,To KIM Woon-bum

00:05:18,916 --> 00:05:22,I've come to see Mr. KIM Woon-bum.

00:05:22,333 --> 00:05:24,He's gone out.

00:05:24,041 --> 00:05:25,I see.

00:05:25,416 --> 00:05:27,- When will he...?
- I don't know.

00:05:30,291 --> 00:05:31,Can I wait until...

00:05:31,583 --> 00:05:33,- Yes.
- All right.

00:06:07,375 --> 00:06:08,Hello.

00:06:08,250 --> 00:06:09,Hi.

00:06:09,333 --> 00:06:10,Welcome back.

00:06:10,916 --> 00:06:11,Hello.

00:06:11,834 --> 00:06:13,What's our plan for tomorrow?

00:06:13,750 --> 00:06:16,At 7AM you'll stop by
the community center.

00:06:16,791 --> 00:06:18,Greet the village elders.

00:06:18,666 --> 00:06:21,At 9AM there's a presentation
on self-governing councils.

00:06:21,416 --> 00:06:23,At 3PM there's a rice
wine gathering at the...

00:06:23,250 --> 00:06:25,If you keep using such outdated tactics

00:06:26,500 --> 00:06:28,you'll lose the next election too!

00:06:28,791 --> 00:06:31,You've lost 4 times in
7 years, don't you get it?

00:06:33,291 --> 00:06:34,What the hell?

00:06:34,084 --> 00:06:36,Sorry, he came looking for Mr. KIM...

00:06:36,375 --> 00:06:40,Your campaign policies
and promises are all fine,

00:06:41,166 --> 00:06:44,but to people who struggle
to put food on the table,

00:06:44,541 --> 00:06:46,it all sounds like bullshit.

00:06:46,666 --> 00:06:48,Who does he think he is?

00:06:51,125 --> 00:06:52,Who are you?

00:06:52,375 --> 00:06:55,Pleased to meet you. I'm SEO Chang-dae.

00:06:55,625 --> 00:06:56,All right.

00:06:58,041 --> 00:07:00,Chang-dae. What ** I doing wrong?

00:07:01,041 --> 00:07:04,Look at the Freedom
Party, how efficient they are!

00:07:04,416 --> 00:07:07,You expound on 10 different issues,

00:07:07,333 --> 00:07:10,and they reply "com-mu-nist",
just three syllables!

00:07:11,041 --> 00:07:12,What?

00:07:13,250 --> 00:07:17,Are you the man who sent me a letter?

00:07:17,750 --> 00:07:18,Yes.

00:07:19,083 --> 00:07:22,For the cost of one vote, I'll
make the other side lose 10.

00:07:22,916 --> 00:07:25,I thought you could use
such capitalist thinking.

00:07:25,833 --> 00:07:29,Look here, we're
politicians, not merchants!

00:07:29,166 --> 00:07:32,Earning votes or earning
money, what's the difference?

00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:35,It's different.

00:07:37,208 --> 00:07:40,The goal of a merchant
can be to earn money,

00:07:40,750 --> 00:07:45,but the goal of a politician
shouldn't be to earn votes.

00:07:45,041 --> 00:07:49,Last time, the election board didn't
even let you register as a candidate.

00:07:50,291 --> 00:07:52,To fight people covered in
s***t, you need to get dirty.

00:07:52,958 --> 00:07:57,A nation where politicians
fling s***t is nothing but a toilet.

00:07:58,500 --> 00:08:03,In ancient times, Aristotle
from Greece said this.

00:08:03,875 --> 00:08:07,Justice forms the order of society.

00:08:07,416 --> 00:08:11,Plato said for a just cause,
any means can be considered.

00:08:11,375 --> 00:08:14,And Plato was Aristotle's teacher.

00:08:19,041 --> 00:08:21,Plato? D***n.

00:08:22,083 --> 00:08:23,How could he say that?

00:08:26,458 --> 00:08:28,So what's your proposal?

00:08:31,208 --> 00:08:34,I want to work with you.

00:08:36,833 --> 00:08:38,Oh d***n.

00:08:38,958 --> 00:08:43,As you see, I can't
afford another salary.

00:08:43,708 --> 00:08:45,I don't need a salary!

00:08:46,666 --> 00:08:49,I'm a labor activist after all.

00:08:50,500 --> 00:08:51,Take care.

00:08:52,041 --> 00:08:55,I'm from the North,
but I lost my accent.

00:08:55,250 --> 00:08:57,Other people try for years and fail,

00:08:57,458 --> 00:09:00,but seeing my father killed for
sounding like a commie made it easy!

00:09:00,666 --> 00:09:02,- Sure, you've had it hard.
- Wait!

00:09:02,166 --> 00:09:03,Let's go have a smoke.

00:09:03,208 --> 00:09:05,I want to change this damned world!

00:09:05,916 --> 00:09:07,Stop it!

00:09:07,250 --> 00:09:10,In your letter, what was that flower?

00:09:15,541 --> 00:09:17,People call it "baby's poop."

00:09:17,666 --> 00:09:20,It's both poison, and antidote.

00:09:21,500 --> 00:09:22,Please use me.

00:09:28,416 --> 00:09:30,- You some kind of pharmacist?
- No.

00:09:31,916 --> 00:09:33,Well, yes.

00:09:34,041...
