The story is mainly about the friendship between North and South Korean soldiers. The Joint Security Area JSA is located near Panmunjom, and its two sides are jointly guarded by North and South Korea. One day, gunshots pierced the silent night sky, and a South Korean soldier killed two North Korean soldiers and wounded one in an area guarded by the North. The incident eventually sparked a fierce gun battle. The relationship between North and South Korea became very tense immediately, and it was on the verge of breaking out. The Neutral Nations Supervisory Committee, which is composed of soldiers from Switzerland and Sweden, sent Sophie, a Swiss second lieutenant, to investigate the matter. The investigation did not go well. The North and the South held their own words, and the two surviving parties were silent, the other was emotional. But under Sophie's unremitting efforts, all the problems were solved one by one, and the true face of the whole incident was revealed.

Many details in the film left a deep impression on me, painstakingly adjusting the camera angle in the Northern Dynasty post, jokingly spitting at each other on duty, the little panic caused by a gust of wind, the black and white picture at the end of the film. Photo... "It was born from the same root, why is it too urgent to fry each other", I hope that peace can belong to those who love peace, but it is a pity that beautiful ideals always bow their heads in the face of cruel reality.

    The Korean films at the bottom of the box are shocking, and I never thought that it would be Merry Christmas on the March 8th line. Park Chan-wook's nationalist spirit is really touching. His unabashed political inclination and criticism make this film full of anger and resentment. The film never denies its role as a political means. status must be undeniable

    The hereditary dictatorship of North Korea is the obstacle to the reunification of the North and the South, and the people of the North and South are kind, and the final photo is also the finishing touch. ★★★★

  • Maj. Gen. Bruno Botta: You haven't learned much about Panmunjom yet. Here, the peace is preserved by hiding the truth. What they both really want is that this investigation proves nothing after all.
