An unfulfilled promise

The night before yesterday, my wife glanced at the TV and exclaimed: You also watch Korean movies? Well, this is the famous "Taichi Flag Flying", it's really wonderful, it's a masterpiece of family love and anti-war! Although it's been 13 years, it doesn't feel backward or outdated at all. This is the charm of a good movie. It should be said that Jiang Digui's position is neutral and his expression is objective. Many film friends say this is very valuable, and I also think so.

The hot war scenes are bloody and grand, and the characters are portrayed in nuanced detail. I don't have much feelings for Jang Dong Gun, but Won Bin, young, handsome, and brilliant at acting. He grew up in the war. Although he has misunderstandings and resentment towards his brother, he has the right balance. I can't think of a young freshman in China today. Who can perform this feeling. Hu Ge might be able to, but without such a strong script and director, it would be in vain.

Compared with the domestic wolf warrior series, or Hollywood's main theme hero blockbuster, this movie is undoubtedly more calm, objective, and has its own melody. Of course, I personally think that Wolf Warrior 2 is also a very good movie, and I don't mean to belittle it.

    A film about the Korean War from a South Korean perspective. Was it initiated by North Korea? Is South Korea resisting? Originally, it was a country and a nation, fighting back and forth. Inextricably linked. Just because one is communism and the other is capitalism? As Zhenshi said, is ideology really that important? Live a good life, because of the war, the younger brother was arrested as a strong man. His brother wanted to save him, but was taken away with him. In the army, the elder brother wanted to protect his younger brother everywhere. But as the war began, his brother began to change. In particular, the army in South Korea found that a village was killed, believing that North Korea did it. The soldiers also shot and killed the prisoners. Among the prisoners caught at this time, a former good friend Yongshuo said that they were taken by force. Zhenshi protects him, but Zhentai doesn't remember any old feelings, and in the end he kills Yongshuo. From the perspective of the other side, one thing will be different. Now I really want to see the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression from a third-party perspective.

    The human nature in the war is well analyzed. Hold your head and cry during the bombing, don't bomb it. Brother kills the red eye. The liquidation of the Communist Party after the war made people feel the absurdity and fear of human nature.

  • Young-shin: [while trying to decide what to take along as they evacuate the house upon declaration of war] There's Kimchi pots buried in the yard. What will happen to them?

  • Jin-tae: [tears up the last will that Jin-seok was writing] Wills are for dying people. You've got to be strong.
