Today Bundles woke me up at the unearthly hour of 1 something in the afternoon and I went over to her house to watch Taegukgi which is this Korean war movie which is absolutely touching. I nearly cried while watching it! You must go watch it...even if you don't understand Korean! Because I don't understand Korean either!
The english name for this movie is Brotherhood or The Brotherhood of War although Bundles says Taegukgi is the South Korean flag and it's all about these two brothers who had to go fight in the war between South and North Korea fought. And the older brother like, really really really loves his younger brother, he's unbelievably good to his younger brother. The kind of brotherly love shown in this movie puts all other kinds of brotherly love to shame. And you know all those stories about brothers who hate each other like venom? This movie so totally puts them to complete shame.
Anyway, the older brother is desperate to get his younger brother out of the war so he goes and volunteers for all these risky missions because his commander had promised him that if he earns a medal he can send his brother home. And then all sorts of things happen after that - like his brother finding out about his plan and getting mad at him for risking his life for him and his fiance getting accused of being a communist and his meeting a good friend who has gone to fight for the other side...and, well, things just get complicated...
Anyway, it's a really good movie! Go watch it!
And on Friday, we're going over to Alleya's house to watch Windstruck! This week is Korean Movie Week!
