[kh4nhl3]

OMG That little kid is extremely cute ♥

Good story :) and I'm proud to be a Buddhist.

[sketchup73]

@kh4nhl3 the story is not about buddhism.

[kh4nhl3]

@sketchup73 I know it's about cycle of life. But all chracters are Buddhist right? and they also have lots of thing about Buddhism in the whole story. He's holding the Buddhism statue at the end, and when the master was writing on the ground for the apprentice to carve, it was Buddhist scriptures.

[sketchup73]

@kh4nhl3 the story is not about buddhism.

its set within the context of buddhism, but not about it.

i am not a buddhist but i doubt if i enjoyed it less than any buddhist monk.

[kh4nhl3]

@sketchup73 I already know that the whole story is not about Buddhism. -__-

[sketchup73]

@kh4nhl3 there is another great movie set within a similar context of tthe fleetingness of everything, maybe you might find it as enjoyable.check it out watch?v=M7n4LeRB6js

[kh4nhl3]

@sketchup73 that was a great short movie!

[FrostedPingu]

That was soo depresssinggg!!! :-(

[Camillelele69]

the end really reminds me about the greek myth about the king who was punished by having to carry a rock up a hill

[bigheadedJ]

morale of the story. what goes around comes back around.

karma !

even the title too, goes around.

[sketchup73]

@bigheadedJ sex without love ends up creating humans in pain like the child. even sperms are intielligent enough.

[konangisantosh]

What is the statue he is carrying at 2:15?

[r3prum]

@konangisantosh Bodhisattva

[konangisantosh]

@r3prum Thanks!

[sketchup73]

@konangisantosh its the symbol of feminine power, the childs mother is set upon high above the valley so that she can look at her child growing.

[genericusername337]

I keep coming back to this scene - i would burst out crying if I was him at the top of that mountain, haha. anyway, I downloaded that track right after watching this, what a beautiful combination

[alohalaie]

Very beautifully moved movie

[mikeavram]

beautifully made

[elguapotetigre]

Damn..I didn't think this movie would have such a dark tone to it!

[sketchup73]

@elguapotetigre it has awoken something dark in you.

[ptsivakumar]

This is life...

[ynoss308]

really, i did not understand the movie

[aizik2005]

@ynoss308 I will give you a hint: think about a self-repeating circle.

[sketchup73]

@ynoss308 dosnt matter, even then its was beautiful enough to carrry someone right to the end. good enough.

[ttvampirett]

He could never forgive himself. I love the way he punished himself after all these years !! and this kid !!!!! OH !! I was gonna kill him !! Yet a very nice movie !

[julo19]

which is the name of the song at 2:15 - anyone please?

[xith1]

@julo19 Kim Young-im - Jeongseon Arirang , watch?v=4MC3Z-WvS_o

[julo19]

@xith1 thanks!

[highermystery]

beautiful film

[Lcktam]

animal cruelty

[xith1]

@Lcktam this is true cruelty: watch?v=D2dYNLwtRkc

[sketchup73]

@xith1 what is the point of propagating animal cruelty if you feel bad about it,

[wyomingsamurai]

i dont get the ending. is the lake cursed or something. it would make a great thriller

[evendetta5]

@wyomingsamurai More to do with karmic retribution and being reborn in such a position to pay for ones sins.

[angelwingkat]

@wyomingsamurai I think it's more simply signifying the cycle of awareness. From ignorance to enlightenment. The child is as ignorant and cruel as the main character was in his youth, but just as the main character learned through trials and tribulations so will this child.

[UnitedTen]

Moving movie.
