A Violent Prosecutor helmer Lee Il Hyung is returning to the big screen with his new movie Remember. This new movie follows an elderly man with dementia who seeks revenge against pro-Japanese collaborators (people who took part in JapanŌĆÖs annexation of Korea in 1910) heŌĆÖs planned for 60 years and a young man who unintentionally gets involved in his revenge. ItŌĆÖs based on the 2015 movie Remember about an elderly Holocaust survivor with dementia setting out to kill a Nazi war criminal. ŌĆ£The projects dealing with the Japanese colonial period are mostly portrayed in a historical genre. But Remember takes place in a modern time,ŌĆØ Director Lee shared. ŌĆ£It has a theme of revenge, and I thought itŌĆÖd be fun if the intense, emotional revenge is blended with an elderly man.ŌĆØ Both Lee Sung Min and Nam Joo Hyuk chose the absorbing plot as the reason they chose the project. Nam Joo Hyuk then added, ŌĆ£Also, I was just thrilled that IŌĆÖll get to work with Lee Sung Min.ŌĆØ The actors took turns introducing their roles. Lee Sung Min, playing Pil Jo, said, ŌĆ£HeŌĆÖs an elderly man, over 80 years old, whoŌĆÖs worked at a family restaurant for a long time. He suffers from dementia, and as he realizes that heŌĆÖs losing memories, he seeks out revenge heŌĆÖs been plotting for a long time.ŌĆØ He then talked about playing a role thatŌĆÖs much older than him. ŌĆ£Narrowing this age gap was my homework and the biggest concern. IŌĆÖm not sure (how I did it,) but other people seemed to like it.ŌĆØ Nam Joo Hyuk plays In Kyu, an ordinary part-timer in his 20s. ŌĆ£Pil Jo tells him that heŌĆÖll pay him a generous pay if he drives him around for a week, and In Kyu accepts his offer. And thatŌĆÖs how he gets involved in Pil JoŌĆÖs revenge,ŌĆØ he commented. ŌĆ£All that happens is not normal, so I thought hard from In KyuŌĆÖs point of view and tried to focus on the situation.ŌĆØ Lee Sung Min and Nam Joo Hyuk both praised their teamwork, saying that ŌĆ£things couldnŌĆÖt have been better.ŌĆØ The movie has these two characters driving around in a supercar. ŌĆ£I added the wish of an old man who wishes to drive around in a supercar before he dies,ŌĆØ Director Lee explained. Nam Joo Hyuk, who was in charge of driving the car, felt a lot of pressure. ŌĆ£I had to get it all together as I was driving ŌĆō I couldnŌĆÖt damage it. I trained on my concentration.ŌĆØ Meanwhile, Remember will hit the screen on October 26th. Source (1)
