Review of Welcome to Dongmakgol (2005) by Viviana M — 14 Jul 2009

Equal parts of dark humor, sadness and inspiring moments combine in this story of a North Korean, South Korean and American unit meeting in a remote village during the Korean war, so out of touch they not only don't know about the war, but what guns are, etc.

Putting aside their differences to help the villagers, they soon find commonalities between them. A nice anti-war/humanizing statement. A great cast interspersed with a touching script and excellent direction make this another wonderful example of Korean film making.
