The Gates of Hell Version of “He Busts Down My Door Again” is different from the other Young-Hae Chang movies we have seen.
The background has the look of a museum with high ceilings and and shiny floors. The music that the red words dance to is upbeat. It speeds as the story continues. The story being read in a woman’s voice is a tragic one. A woman is taken from her house and into the street in her underwear. She is being accused of being a “traitor.” She is being moved by gunpoint to a location where she will ultimately be killed by being shot in the head. She claims that the only thing that will be life-saving is remembering the dream that she was dreaming when she was awakened by the invader.
Her dream involves her and her lover, who are “caressed” by a cool sea breeze, sit on a terrace by the sea and “drank to the strains of an unbearable sweet Bossa Nova.” Bossa Nova, according the Wiki, is a style of Brazilian music, similar to jazz.
The story repeats over and over. First in english, with charactered subtitles, then with characters and english subtitles. I do not know what political movement this is referring to. The main character, who is at her moment of death, grasps onto her cool dream to stay sane and hopeful. It makes the sacrifice of her life for her beliefs, whatever it/they may have been, worthwhile.
The repetition make the story unending and therefore forever relevant.
