Taeguki

If I'm not wrong its a NC-16 show.. well but PC Lee jio-ed me to catch the show with him so we shivered in the cold West Mall cineplex together.. and watched that wretched 2 hour +++++ movie until we almost had to take the midnight charge cab back home. Luckily for us, we caught the very last MRT then we walked home from the nearest LRT.

The movie was .. very forgettable as "another war movie" as I think because most of the time the plots are around the same. Some parts are gory, gruesome, bloody and I find that these movies like to use shocking, grisly images to stir up emotions in viewers which of course, makes me feel most repulsive haha..
Like there was a scene where the South Korean soldiers encountered a village where all the villagers have already been slaughtered and some of the bodies.. blah blah yada yada booby trap is set off and the bodies are blown up. That was by far the most gross scene in the whole movie.

I wonder what real war will look like, not that I want it to happen or want to be in it.. its just the curiosity factor, how come so many people fight willingly, knowing they will die. Why doesn't everyone just "dig a shellscrape, take cover and shoot from there?"
I wonder, in wartime, will the leaders we "take for granted" really be leaders, and will the men really follow their orders even if it means their lives are at risk..

Oh but I forgot to give the #1 politically correct answer for "If you had one wish, what would you wish for"

"world peace.."
