An unfulfilled promise

The night before yesterday, my wife glanced at the TV and exclaimed: You also watch Korean movies? Well, this is the famous "Taichi Flag Flying", it's really wonderful, it's a masterpiece of family love and anti-war! Although it's been 13 years, it doesn't feel backward or outdated at all. This is the charm of a good movie. It should be said that Jiang Digui's position is neutral and his expression is objective. Many film friends say this is very valuable, and I also think so.

The hot war scenes are bloody and grand, and the characters are portrayed in nuanced detail. I don't have much feelings for Jang Dong Gun, but Won Bin, young, handsome, and brilliant at acting. He grew up in the war. Although he has misunderstandings and resentment towards his brother, he has the right balance. I can't think of a young freshman in China today. Who can perform this feeling. Hu Ge might be able to, but without such a strong script and director, it would be in vain.

Compared with the domestic wolf warrior series, or Hollywood's main theme hero blockbuster, this movie is undoubtedly more calm, objective, and has its own melody. Of course, I personally think that Wolf Warrior 2 is also a very good movie, and I don't mean to belittle it.
