Chinese-American director Wayne Wang talks about his latest film focusing on Korean-American family
...“I hope viewers think about their own lives and their parents or family members who might be sick,” Wang said. “I want them to realize that people’s lives can change at any moment, and that even death needs to be accepted as an example of the changes of life.”
Lee Moon-se’s song “Yetsarang [Old Love]” plays a major role in the film. The mother character hums the tune, which actually represented a bad memory – leading her to sense her husband’s past infidelity. “It’s funny how a good song can turn bad,” the mother mutters.
