WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU TANGERINES (2025) dir. KIM WON-SEOK There was a girl in the boy's life. All his life, the boy kept the girl's world safe. - Thank you, honey. You've lived a good life. A truly great life. - Was it all right? Was our time together good? - It was more than perfect. I was so wonderful that I couldn't have asked for more.
This had me tearing up and made me think of my mom who worked hard tirelessly when we were severely struggling financially in my childhood when my dad had lost his job, had failed in all his business ventures and then had decided to not work at all. So watching this scene made me realize how rare it is for women, especially women living in poverty, to be freeloaders. I've seen husbands leech off of their wives' hard work but never women freeloading their way through life. Every poor woman is a provider of her family, while same may not be the case for every poor man.
