good film
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
Very good action scenes and reflect life on the front line of an Army at War. I would have liked some kind of reference point in the film, for eg "Where was the Town/Village of the two main characters in relation to the front line of the conflict". The serious - as it turned out - question of the poor starving people going to Communist Rallys in order to get food - wasn't explained fully enough because of the actions taken by the South Koreans that turned the two brothers against one another. I can remember the Korean War, so this forgotten War being resurrected in this way was, in my opinion, quite brilliant. The sub titles didn't spoil it for me in anyway. truseskyblue
I bought this film on ebay as I had been told that the battle scenes were as good as in Saving Private Ryan. The story is set in June 1959 and told through the eyes of two brothers, who have seen their family torn apart by the Korean war. Brotherhood is an epic and heart wrenching story, which heralds the triumph of the human spirit in the midst of overwhelming suffeing and sacrifice. The Film is 142 mins long and has English Subtitles.
my father is a korean war veteran he was unable to go to korea for a reunion... the korean war veteran sociaty in conjunction with the korean goverment..have made available several places for the grandchildren of these veterans, my niece was lucky to be chosen to represent my father, so we purchased dvd for her to watch to give her some insight as to what the koreans were up against..she enjoyed the film ...And will be going to korea in the next few days.. a lot more knowledgeable
DVD was purchased for my son, the DVD is very violent, and I would say it is on par with the Film "Save Private Ryan" I thaink i hsould have looked into the film more closely before buying, certainly it would be ok for older children
