YMMV / A Brighter Summer Day

• Award Snub: Despite being one of the most acclaimed and celebrated films ever among film fans and critics, it was submitted but not selected for an Academy Award nomination, though it would end up being much more of a cinephile conversation piece than the selected films.
• Tear Jerker: The end of the film, where Si'r's mother sobs into his old school uniform as the list of distinguished students is rattled off on the radio.
