OPENING CREDITS FOR "꽃잎 A PETAL" (1996)

[samcpark]

This clip was taken by Japanese reporters who were in Kwangjoo during the massacre and compiled by McGill University in Toronto, Canada.

I've seen and shown that footage at almost every annual Kwangju People's Uprising commemoration held by UCLA Korean Student Ass. from 1984 to 1991.

But, every time I see it, I can't hold me tears.

The Kwangju uprising happened in May 1980. The movie is based on a 1988 story called "There a petal silently falls" by Choi Yun, and the song is the Shin Jung-hyun song "A Petal" as performed by Kim Chu-ja (from the late 60s). In the story, the girl's brother's friends had never met her, but as you see in the opening, the director shows the girl singing the song "A petal" to her brother's friends, which makes clear that they met her, and ties the name of the story with the song (and the movie).

You're the best for posting all this info. I've loved and puzzled over this song (and the movie) for a long time, having seen it at a San Francisco film festival. Thank you so much for clarifying everything!

[reemstrrr]

[imbestigador]

I have watched this Movie on Crunchyroll...[Too bad it was deleted due to some Copyright Imfringement...]

[doanphiv]

Does anyone know where to buy a copy of the DVD for this movie?

[obviouslysubtle]

Gwangju massacre happened in 1980. Tiananmen Square happened in 1989. Anyway, this movie is great. Hope someone put the animation sequence from this movie. Really heartbreaking story.

[Shadow2271]

funny same shit was happening almost at the exact same time it was on Tiananmen Square

[autoblindato]

not quite- the massacre was in the early 1980s

[Shadow2271]

somewhere like that

[floatinglandscape]

Any one knows how to get a DVD version, or any format of this movie, I saw it in Korea ten years ago.

[ivycompton]

I checked some Korean sites and it seems to be out of print. Amazon had 1 copy for $200 U.S.!!! Insane.

[ivycompton]

I saw this in 96 at a film festival and could never get that song out of my head. Great hook. Thanks for posting this rarity!

[Labyrinthe]

Thanks :)
