i think this movie be definitely original and funny and sad and and emotional in many way . i do not expect much and be simply curious about the film due to have be the number 2 movie of 2005 in korea . i would definitely recommend it it really remind u about what important in life . i find it quite heartwarming how such adversarial party could learn to enjoy a genuine fellowship sans the rigid and conformist partisanship that be indoctrinate by their respective country . this symbolic shedding of their former identity be demonstrate quite poignantly when each of them adopt the traditional garment of the town . the fact that each of them voluntarily assume such physical transformation evince a willing preference and readiness for unity . it be quite move to see the progressive dissolution of their contempt and distrust for each other evolve into such a powerful and familial bond . in many way and this transient and new life within the village represent a form of utopia which seem far more preferable than their former way of lifespoiler the only thing i do not like be the tragic end and i do agree with the argument make by a few on this board concern the illogical nature of opt for a futile and suicidal standoff a oppose to a more practical evacuation of the village even if that would entail some sacrifice on the part of the villager . there be definitely an alternative to avoid the unnecessary death . just because the villager would be lose their way of life doesn not seem to justify their death . on the other hand and i guess it arguable that their death be heroic and almost redemptive for them . especially for the nk leader and the suicidal sk solider . nevertheless and it be a great film .
