An exceptional movie

Rating: 10/10 (18 January 2005)

I was recently given a copy of Taegugi to watch. It is a Korean picture and subtitled in English and other languages. This movie was very moving to me. It is about two close brothers whose lives are torn apart in war and pits them against each other. The director did not hold back on making the film with all the realizations of how terrible war is. But what captured me most about this movie was the emotional effects that I felt. The movies realization of just how tragic war can effects families and lives moved me so much that I cried through the second half of the movie. It is an intense movie. The writer should be commended for portraying the realization of how the effects of war change people in the way they think when faced with staying alive. I would recommend this film highly.
