Customer Reviews:

It sucks as a movie........2004-08-01

The original fiction which has the same name was great.
It's based on the author's personal experience.
The book itself had some problem with Korean government at the middle of 80's.

But the movie.. well... read the book.

PS: Oh, for Forza Azzuri, they were using Chinese letters, not Korean letters.
Chinese letters are still used in most of Asian countries as a second letter system.

A poor imitation.......2002-03-04

This film is a poor imitation of Platoon and Deer Hunter. It's hard for me to believe that semi-illiterate Vietnamese farmers know how to write Korean language to demand compensation for the loss of their water buffaloes accidentally killed by Korean soldiers. You will be very disappointed if you're looking for war actions. Also, the director fails miserably to show the effects of psycholgical trauma experienced by the returning soldiers. The storyline is not well connected. Don't waste your money on this DVD.

VIET NAM - a Korean persepctive.......2001-06-19

This is a Korean version of... PLATOON, was how this film was marketed when it was released (early 90's?), but it really is a grand attempt at presenting the Korean involvement in the War. At the time it made waves with A list casting, location shooting in Nam (controvercial at the time for Korea) and a huge budget for the action scenes. It is essentially a buddy film of two vets - one who has succesfully adapted to society and one who has not from them dark days in Nam. I highly recommend this piece for those who are not familiar with korean cinema, and those who are interested in seeing the Nam experience from a different perspective.
