Nambugun

I watched this, because as a long time fan of Im Chang Jung, I know that this is the film where he debut and started his acting career. I was surprised to find that he had a pretty substantial role. (those of you who are interested in how he joined the film, you can watch a clip about it on youtube by searching his name and the movie name).

You will also find other famous actors like Choi jin sil (RIP) and Cho hyung gi.

I knew of the korean was history, but this movie helped me piece together the tidbits of knowledge i knew. I didn't learn much about the Partisan (btw i did not know that BBAL-CHI-SAN meant partisan) in school, and now I have a more nuanced understanding of the war. The written text on the last scene really resonated with how i felt.
