Professor Dube made a statement during last evening's class that made all of this make sense. If Korea has a population that is aging similar to the demographic patterns of China, it would make complete sense that there would be a need to examine the aging process through film. By presenting women who are dating, running businesses, continuing to dress fashionably, they are normalizing and providing acceptance for other women to continue to pursue issues pertinent to their identity. I see this movie in a whole new light as a welcome exploration and broadening of Korean society's expectations of the aging woman.
