Remember (2022)

The Story of Pil-Joo, an Alzheimer's patient in his 80s, who lost all his family during the Japanese colonial era, and devotes his lifelong revenge before his memories disappear, and a young man in his 20s who helps him.

It's a bit like Memento ain't it? Or like the Korean version of Oldboy. A forgetful old soldier seeks Vengeance, with the names of his aggressors tattooed onto his fingers.

It's an emotional story, starring mainly Lee Sung-min and Nam Joo-hyuk, with plenty of plot twists along the way.

critics were cold on this one - is there maybe a certain bias towards the Japanese - the war crimes they did not perceived as terrible as they really were? Listen to some Jocko podcasts if you doubt. The Japanese were RUTHLESS. This doesn't even begin to do it justice, yet I'm positively surprised they attempted to bring parts of their past to life, even if I'm a huge fan of Japanese content and culture now. Even if vengeance feeds vengeance, and you wonder if it really was worth it after all.

And dementia is such a scary thing... makes this one all the better.
