"Brotherhood of War" fortæller historien om to brødre fra Seoul, som, da Korea-krigen begynder i 1950, bliver indkaldt til hæren mod deres vilje. Den ældste bror kæmper hårdt for at gøre sig fortjent til en tapperhedsmedalje, så han kan sikre sin lillebrors hjemsendelse. Men han ændre fuldstændigt personlighed i takt med, at krigshelvedet intensiveres.
A big, bruising epic of the Korean War, Tae Guk Gi smashed box-office records when it played in South Korea in 2004, almost as though the country needed to re-live the trauma at a 50-year distance. For the rest of the world, this movie looks like a ground-level reckoning in a melodramatic key, with an authentic feel for battle lines as well as home front. Tae Guk Gi follows two brothers--one uneducated and forceful, the other intellectual and reserved--as they are united and then divided by the conflict. The broadly emotional story has some of the power of tales of the American Civil War, when family members found themselves on opposite sides of a battle. Director Kang Je-gyu , who made the lively female-assassin hit Shiri, takes a blunt approach to the material (including a Saving Private Ryan-style framing device). And at 150 minutes, he has plenty of time for head-splitting, blood-spraying combat. This movie is meant as a punch in the stomach, and it connects. --Robert Horton |
