Duration: 110 Minutes

Author(s): Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick

Director: Jon M. Chu

Cast: Dwayne Johnson, D.J. Controna, Channing Tatum, Byung-hun Lee

Why I select G.I. Joe: Retaliation

-On the famous Korean TV talk show, ‘Healing Camp,’ the Actor Mr. Lee, Byung-hun spoke about the Hollywood behind story.

He is a famous top actor. But in Hollywood, he was just normal person(just expert in martial art). So he confessed that it made him feel very small in the film studio and award ceremonies because nobody recognized him there. Just one person recognized him. He was a waiter in award ceremony. The waiter said, “I am your big fan! I watched all of your films.” He felt something what he have forgotten. When the G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra(2009) came for promotion in Asia, situation was reversed. Fans of 95% of Byung-hun Lee came to meet. Sienna Miller asked Lee, “What happen?” Lee just said, ”Well.” It became an opportunity to appeal strong presence in G.I. Joe: Retaliation. So I wanted to check his presence paid with his nonperson experience.

“How was it?” Interviews of MANNAM MEETS CINEMA

-Dorothy: “I was sorry to see Channing Tatum shortly. It took a time to get over a shock of his death. My brother said that the G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra was dull but the G.I. Joe: Retaliation was exciting. He enjoyed it.”

-David: “Most thrilling scene was the cliff. I thought that director put so much into that scene. It was refreshing.”

-Terry: “Satirizing on nuclear clubs was funny. I hope that it’s not happened North Korea push the button of launcher as well as IRL.”  

OPINION

Overall, the scene was speedy and thrilling. It is feast for the eyes. As Terry words, I agreed with that opinion. Situation of Korea is getting serious. For that reason, many foreigners in Korea are getting scary. But as message of the G.I. Joe: Retaliation, we have to finish the war like nuclear weapon. It’s time to push the button of launcher a peace campaign not the launcher of missile.

 MANNAM volunteer is an association, aiming for world peace with no war and no weapons.

MANNAM: Why Do We Need Peace?

Have you ever watched a movie called 'TaeGukGi: Brotherhood Of War’? This renowned movie talks about the Korean Wars which occurred on June 25 1950, and lasted for three and half years. In the movie, two beloved brothers tore apart, and ended up fighting on the other side of wars. Decades and decades later, the younger brother finally found the remains of his brother, and cried out in front of the body.

What do you feel about this story of the Korean War? Do you think this story is something apart from reality? No, I don’t think the war is something that only exist in the screen. Near us, there are many people who went through the war and suffered from those memory and experiences of it. Also in Korea, it is not difficult to find people who lost their family during the Korean WAR. This is another reason we need ‘PEACE’

Before, I felt the war is not really related with me, so I didn’t feel strong about necessity of peace. We think we are living in the world apart from war, but that is not exactly true. I thought my life is apart from those wars or fighting, but MANNAM 54th commemoration of the Korean War event reminded me there are many people who went through the war.

This is why we need peace. The war and conflicts leave scars and suffers that can’t be easily erased. But through peace, we can make people become together. Within the peace, two loving brothers do not need to fight each others. Peace can bring the harmonized world which doesn’t have such a sad thing as war. And the peace can be achieved from the small step forward, with the mind of sharing sufferings and caring others, and with true volunteerism.
