Synopsis
Don’t cross the river is known as a transitional poem which moved from a collective song to a lyric poetry; it is also known as the oldest lyric poetry in Korea. Though it has only 4 lines, it is a sad and beautiful lamentation. I focused on showing it as a meditative poem instead of representing it literally.
Purpose
We are losing an opportunity to read the poems with rich implications which have touched a lot of people, as society changes fast in materialism of civilization. I happened to listen to the song ‘Gong-mu-do-ha-ga(Don’t cross the river)’ by the singer, Lee Sang-eun, and found out that the title is the oldest lyric poem. I was very much touched by interpreting the meaning of the poem. I wonder why we degrade our unlimited sensitivity in ourselves for modern culture. I wanted to express the sentiment of the poem in the film and share it with someone.
