This movie is about two brothers who got drafted into the South Korean Army to fight against the North Koreans. It shows how powerful brotherly love is and also how having power can change someone 360 degrees. The older brother goes to war only to protect his own brother but ends up becoming a war hero. This sense of power makes him irrational and makes him forget the whole reason for joining the army which was to watch out for his brother's life. This movie shows how one line can divide two brothers from ever seeing each other for over 40 years. This movie made me think about how government actions can really mess up thousands of individual's life. Even today people in South Korea have not been able to see their families for over sixty years and probably will never get to do so until they die. It disgusts me how politics can keep a nation, like korea, with the same blood and heritage apart. It gets me angry to see how North koreans live because they are, in fact, my brothers ans sisters. We may never be able to meet because of one line, of on war.
