Hello there, I’m going to introduce some Korean movies
to you.
Hope you enjoy!
The next movie that I’m going to introduce is ‘26years
(26년)’. This movie was
released at November 28th, 2012. The director is Guen-Hyun Cho. He
has directed many famous movies like ‘My way’, ‘GoGo 70s’ and ‘Herb’. The movie
‘26years’ is made out from Webtoon by Kangpull. Kangpull is famous Webtoon
writer. Wbtoon is cartoons that authors post on the web. Many of Kangpull’s
webtoons were made in to movies. Main characters are Jin-Gu, Hye-Jin
Han, Suel-Ong Lim and Su-Bin Bae.
The movie is about the revenge of some people
who had lost their family because of the dictator. In 1980, Korea was in a
chaos because of dictators and coup. And the dictator Du-Hwan Jun is ‘elected’
as a president. So many people got mad at the unfair situation and undemocratic
society. So people in city Gwang-Ju, started demonstration against the
president. But the president was a soldier, so he just order to kill all the
people who are against him. This is the Gwangju Democratization Movement. In
this movement thousands of people died.
In this movie, there are 3 people who lost their
family. One guy came to see them and tell them to join with him. The guy was planning
to kill Du-Hwan Jun. Du-Hwan Jun is still alive. The guy’s father was a soldier
when he was young and he did kill people at Gwngju at 5.18. But he regret his
acts so he try to kill the Du-Hwan Jun. they plan all the story. But Du-Hwan
Jun is still protected by the government and the police. So it is hard to get
closer to him. But all 4 of them think about their pains in the life and try their
best. Mijin lost her mother when the movement was occur and her dad killed
himself because he was so shocked about Mijin’s mom’s death. Jin-Bae, he is a
gangster but his mom got some mental problem because of the movement. And Jung-hyck
lost his only family, his sister. But their plan fails. And the movie end.
I guess, Du-Hwan Jun is still alive
so the director couldn’t kill him. But this movie made me to think one more
time of sacrifices of many people who wanted democratic society in Korea. The 5.18
is a movement that we should never forget. There are still many people who have
hurts. So many people lost their family and friends at that time. We should
always think that the democratic lives we have now are really valuable and we
should always try to save it.
I didn’t read the Webtoon but I liked
it a lot! But one of my friends, she read the Webtoon and said that the movie
is not that great as the Webtoon.
Hi Da Hee~
답글삭제I also watched '26years'. While watching the movie, I was really upset. Do you know the reason? Because dictator, Do-Hwan Jun. I can't understand that the reason why he is not recieve punishment. I little disappointed ending of the movie because I wanted dictator's punishment. Though, '26years' truly memorable movie.

답글삭제Hi, I'm Jae Gu. I didn't see the movie "26 Years," but i saw the webtoon "26 Years." Jun Du Hwan is a god-damn trash that killed many Gwang Ju people. If I have the time, I'm going to download this movie. I heard that Jin-Gu's acting is great. Anyway, have a good day!

I really wanted watch this movie with my family but I failed to do that as I couldn't find the file on the internet..But I can see the contents of the movie is interesting by reading your blog! There are still lots of families in the city Gwang ju who lost their family members and friends at that moment and we also should not forget about the reality ;(
