"Highland War"

I haven't watched it for a long time, and I don't have the urge to watch it. War movies are not my thing, and Korean movies are very typed. So I watched it with no expectations, and I thought it was not bad. It was a masterpiece of Korean commercial films. Although the shadows of many classic films, predictable plot trends, and sensational and funny plots are also quite Hollywood, the war scenes, confrontation tactics and various delicate emotional entanglements between people are not bad, and they are put on the big screen. It should be worth the ticket price. The vast majority of domestic commercial films are really incomparable with South Korea and Japan.

Thanks to Park Sangyan's script to a large extent, although it is not on the same level as "JSA", it brings together the cruelty of war, comradeship, compatriots, homesickness, conspiracy investigation, etc. together in an orderly manner. It's not easy to see without the boring field. And Zhang Xun is obviously more proficient in the control of big scenes and the connection of small details than the previous work "The Righteous Brothers".

    If nothing else, "Highland War" should be the best Korean movie this year. Koreans have a kind, and Korean movies have a kind. They are in "Southern Army", "Life and Death", "Common Security Zone", and "Tai Chi Flag". "After ", I have never seen such a great North-South theme. Director Zhang Xun has made rapid progress. As the third director’s work, it is also a North-South theme. It is much more mature and magnificent than the previous film "The Righteous Brothers." The supporting roles are wonderful.
