| It's getting very good reviews from my students. I don't know if I'd trust their taste or not, but they were very enthused about it. |

Sounds really interesting; too bad it'll probably be a couple of years before I get to see it...

Secret Cold War Project Revealed in New Film (7/10)
review by Joon Soh
December 19, 2003
Read: 273
In 1968, when tensions between South and North Korea were running high, a special unit of 31 North Korean soldiers infiltrated Seoul and attempted to kill then-President Park Chung-hee. The news of the failed assassination plot, which ended with the death of all but one member of the unit, shocked and terrified the public.
The new domestic film Silmido, however, shows how the South Korean government then tried to retaliate by doing the same. Promised a new lease on life if they succeeded in their mission to assassinate the North Korean leader Kim Il-sung, a group of criminals and outcasts undergo intense and sometimes deadly training on the remote island of Silmido. |

| I'm hearing good things about it, too. It's no doubt a good thing for Korean movie makers to begin to study what happened under the dictatorships. I just hope they also make movies about life in the North as well. Otherwise it would not be a healthy development. |
