charm gem of a film have be unfairly lose to the world a mere year after it release and which be a real shame . this be a powerful statement about people and life . the plot of this film have a crashed american flier and two south korean soldier and three north korean soldier all end up in a small remote village that seem untouched by the civil war that rag in the rest of the country . at first there be tension between the two war side and but the slowly the two side begin to see eye to eye . unfortunately beast of war take no side and it isn not long before the violence threaten the peaceful village . yes it clichéd and and yes you will probably know where it go and but this be still a charming little film that touch both the heart and the head . there be magic in this tale and both on screen and off a the simple story win over the audience like the village win over the sworn enemy . the film maker seem to feel that there be a magical quality to living and they have infuse their film with some truly magical moment and how else do you describe a hostage situation that fall apart because the hostage wander off to do other thing . this be a movie for the head and the heart . you will be touch by some wonderful character and the world they live in . a some people say there be magic all around you and in a film like this you will believe it . it begin with the crashing pilot notice a moth and it end with the final image that be both heartfelt and bittersweet . for the head there be another meditation on the stupidity of war and the pointlessness of it all . and while it may seem to be yet another warning that war will destroy all that we love and it a warning we can not hear often enough . if the film have any real flaw it that it probably too long at two and a quarter hour . i do not know what you would cut and but it just seem a bit long to me . still and i can not recommend this film enough . it a charming off the beaten track sort of film that deserve a big audience . those look for a change from the stereotypical asian horror or action film should look here . the same should be say to anyone simply look for a good film to see . positive .
