bravo for korean film-making

Rating: 10/10 (21 May 2005)

very poignant at times ending lacked a tad credibility but no doubt some soldiers on both sides changes loyalties and still fewer changed back.
chronicles the personal and national devastation visited on the koreans from outsiders; stalin and mao to the uninitiated.
you have to see this film to understand how far the south koreans have come from that time. now they do things like host olympics and manufacture ships and cars. north korean economy is based on nuclear braggadocio and starvation. when kim jong il finally croaks and his military generals along with him and the outside world no longer gives north Korea any support, then the common people of that geographic area of the world just might determine their own destiny instead of being sacrificed to the megalomania of communism.
the war almost succeeded in preempting that whole situation but thats history.
