Have you watched the movie?

Synopsis (Courtesy from Encore Films and Warner Bros) : JinTae (Jang DongGun) shines shoes hoping to save money to send his younger brother JinSuk (Won Bin) to university. Their mother runs a noodle shop wishing the best for her two sons even though life has been difficult since her husband has passed away. Sending JinSuk to university has become the beacon of light in their lives. When war breaks out in Korea (25 June 1950), JinSuk is unwillingly conscripted into the war. JinTae is forced to join the war to save his brother from the perils of war. Without money or influence, the only way to save his brother is for JinTae to enlist in suicide missions in order to earn the Medal of Honour. This is the only thing that will guarantee JinSuk's release. JinSuk fails to understand his brother's act and misinterprets it as a dangerous mix of patriotism and an obsession with fame and glory. It is only at the fatal end when JinSuk realises the truth of his brother's sacrifice.

As I watched it, my heart wrenched when I saw scenes after scenes protraying the loss of humanity. The strong brotherhood and family ties gave hope that humanity can triumph in the midst of human savagery. The comradeship of the soldiers were also well protrayed. It showed the universal bond amongst soldiers that when we fight, we fight for those around us.
Accolades to the Korean movie industry. Another movie with depth!
A citizen soldier.
