what i didn't like & what i liked

Rating: 10/10 (18 November 2006)

The movie was fabulous, as good as Band of brothers & Saving Private Ryan. There were couple of scenes which seemed staged or pretentious, even though this is a movie - other war movies have this natural, continuous flow, but this movie's abrupt, condensed, etc. between fighting scenes.
There's this scene where the S Koreans captured a city, & at that exact celebratory moment, American planes fill the sky & make booming noises, etc. while people cheer. I mean, doesn't this sound fake? At the radio's comment on U.S.'s aid for S. Korea, S. Koreans begin to make a celebratory cheer & pat each other & laugh... This shouldn't be a news for them. They knew that U.S. would help them from the first place.
They should be more creative in making battle scenes. Just men bayonetting each other to death is kind of boring. I don' think the planes used in the movie are historically accurate. Where did the jet planes go? Other than several cruel scenes, I really loved the romantic & philosophical part of the movie (not romance), like brotherhood, friendship, justice of war, etc.
Again, a lot of things were coincidental & just practically impossible, like the two brothers meeting each other again.
