MANNAM: TaeGukGi: Brotherhood Of War (Heal the world)

 All the Koreans know what day is 25th of June. Do you know what day is it? It is the day when Korean War started in 1950. Since the War became ceasefire, we can’t say it has ended until now. It has been over 60 years since the war started, but even now, there are many parts of sadness that still maintains. The elders know our sad history because they saw and heard it with their own eyes. The new generations doesn’t know much about history because it didn’t happen when they were alive. So it is a pity when the young speaks about the history, especially about Korean War, like that they don’t care. This is the reason why many historical movies come out.

 TeaGukgi huinaleemow(Known as “Brotherhood of War”2003.) is a historical movie about the Korean War in 1950. Before the movie came out, the movie was a hot issue because two of the famous actors of Korea played the main character. 장동건(JangDongGun) and 원빈(Wonben) are the main characters who are brothers in the movie.

 

 The director 강제규(Kangjeakuw) did an excellent job to show family love through the movie. Love was expressed touchingly by using the background of war.

 The movie tells us about many things to consider. It makes people think about their family and make them think how precious it is to have them by our sides. The younger brother waits for his brother to come back from war. He waits because his brother promised him that he will come alive. But about after 50 years, they meet but it is as bone to flesh.

Many people loved this movie and cried because their hearts was touched and moved by the sorrowful story about two brothers. I have a question. What if the brothers didn’t have to go to the army? What if they were too old to be in an army? And what would have happened if the war didn’t happen in the first time at all? Well, then there wouldn’t have been a great movie like this, but it would have been more peaceful for all the people. If a war happens, it is the citizens who are sacrificed by the public. A few of the leader makes a lot of people die. So a war is a thing that must not happen again. No one is a winner in a war. But surprisingly, even now every place in the world has war.

Let us stop this. What can we do? I may be small compare to the world, but we can change the world by gathering all the power we got. This is the reason I am volunteering in MANNAM Volunteer association. Change the world and make it into a better place. To understand people who have different culture, language and appearance you have to have a chance to meet and be with them. That is why I like MANNAM. There are many opportunities to meet and make new friends. But the best part of being a member of MANNAM, is that I realize new fact and thinks that I never thought before. These things make me a better person and a better human being. Peace is possible and you can be the next hero who leads the play.
