The Day He Arrives

directed by Hong Sang-soo / shot by Kim Hyung-koo

“I ran into four people on the street today. A film producer, a director, a music director, and a student of mine. They’re all related to film. It all happened in twenty minutes. Isn’t that so strange?”

“It’s just a coincidence.”

“Nothing happened, but it’s still strange.”

“It happened to me too. Ran into someone three times in a day.”

“I can’t understand why it happens. But it’s very strange. I want to know the reason.”

“There is no reason. Random things happen for no reason in our lives. We choose a few and form a line of thought. Made by all these dots, which we call reason. For example… say I accidentally push this cup off the table. Why was my arm here right then? Why did I move that way? Countless coincidences operate behind this action. But we’re only concerned with the result. We make my clumsiness the reason. I am the reason, but I’m really not.”

“True. Too many coincidences behind it. And more are behind those.”

“We can’t help but make up reasons, but many untraceable forces are at work in reality. That’s probably why our actions are fallible and sometimes lead to disaster. I’m talking too much.”

“Not at all. You put a lot of thought into it.”“
