war in Korean's eyes

Rating: 9/10 (26 September 2005)

Korean War has been portrayed as a war to protect freedom in the west, and a war to defeat US imperialism in China and North Korea.
Fifty years on, the new generations of Koreans presented their view of this war: a war between the brothers, a war where Koreans killed each other for ideological differences between the communist and the capitalist.
This point was emphasized by the story that Jin-tae defected to the North to fight the South when he found that his brother was burnt to death by the south army.
The movie also showed the cruelty of the Korean people, from both the northand the south.
This is not a war movie to enjoy with pop corns. It brought tears in my eyes more than once.
