the most emotionaly draining movie I've ever seen

Rating: 10/10 (22 June 2005)

every comment has the words "saving private ryan", and mine is no different. Tae Guk Gi has the true-to-life war scenes and feel that Ryan has. it has the slick production and cinematography ryan has. But what Tae Guk Gi has that Ryan doesn't is power. when watching Ryan, you are taken by how horrible war can be. when watching Tae Guk Gi, you feel like the movie reached into your chest, and squeezed all the blood from your heart. this movie is beyond powerful. after watching it I feel so emotionaly drained that I need to lay down. In my 20 year life no movie has effected me this much. watching it made me cry, but THINKING about it chokes me up.
It isn't a question of "do you like war movies?", because even if you don't you'll be blown away by Tae Guk Gi. if this movie were American it would have swept the Oscars. It's a crying shame more people don't know about this movie.
10/10. easily the best looking, and most powerful movie I have ever seen.
