Brotherhood

Watched brotherhood today. Hmmmm interesting to see the Korean War from the korean`s perspective instead of the usual American one. Guess most of the koreans at the war front on either side during that time were unwilling conscripts being drafted to fight a war which idealism in which it is being fought upon was unknown or little known to them. War is really such a terrible thing i guess. Those conscripts at the war front, most of them also did not really know what they are fighting for. I do realised something to, when it comes to war, soldiers don`t fight for their country, they fight to protect their love ones, their wives and families that are in danger, their comrades fighting side by side with them. That is their motivation for fighting on. I mean, when u see people dying around u, bullets whizzing pass your head, who the hell gives a damn on what politics, what idealism, what medaks, what country???????? ( Opps.... national day coming ah .... ) U just want to survive today and tomorrow and the day after... For this movie, its kinda touching how much this guy can do for his brother. Great movie i must say, just ignore the exagerating parts like him charging towards an MG with little fire support. hmmmmm........... movies will always be movies. In real life, gung ho also must gung ho smartly .....charging straight towards the enemy can only mean a bullet ridden body and a war medal. So if all these are for real, who are the really brave one? The selfless ones? I guess no one can tell unless one is thrown into the battlefield
