Synopsis
"ARIRANG - Movie" is about Kim Ki-duk playing 3 roles in 1.

Through "ARIRANG - Movie" I climb over one hill in life.

Through "ARIRANG - Movie" I understand human beings, thank the nature, and accept my life as it is now.

We are now…in the terrestrial world lurking with desires,in the ghostly world lurking with sorrow

in the imaginary world lurking with dreams,with no beginning nor end,slowly going crazy.

What is affection that it still remains all around me decaying?

It’s still stuck to the crown of my head, testing my emotions.

It’s still hiding deep within my heart, testing my sense of compassion.

If I didn’t give my heart, they would be bad people erased from memories but if I gave my heart, I couldn’t let them go till the day that I die as despicable people.

Ah…Arirang

Alright

Let’s mercilessly kill each other in our hearts till we die.

Even today hold back as I get angry.

I laugh as I get jealous. I love as I despise.

And forgive as I quiver with the urge to kill.

Wait, I will kill Myself, who remembers you.

Great movie. However, the poster is from "Amen", not Arirang ;)
