Brotherhood (2004)
This heart breaking story of two brothers forced to fight in Korean war is one of most moving pieces of film i have ever experienced. We start of in 1950 Korea we see two normal young adults, brothers, living their day to day life. Jin-Tae who works hard to earn money for his family and brother, Jin-Seok. War is announced and Seok accidentally signs up for the army and Jin- Tae joins to help his younger brother, earn medals to send him home.However Jin-Tae becomes slowly poisoned by war. He gets taste for it and becomes reckless and risks lives of himself and his team mates, Jin-Seok included.The war scenes are brutal and breath taking. However, above all, this is a story of family, friendship and love, and how war can comprimise this. Brotherhood is my Fave war movie and possibly IMO, one of most affective dramas. I'm not ashamed to say my eyes welled up slightly on final scene. I cannot stress how amazing tihs movie is. From its excellent cinetography to the fantastic acting, i cannot recommend it enough. It is VERY brutal and not for weak at heart, however, for a great story of family, violence and heat break, see it. It's Awesome.
