"Brotherhood (Tae Guk Gi)" Korean War Film

[Patrocles]

This flick started playing in Seattle about 2 weeks ago. Has anyone seen it? Is it worth checking out? (the few reviews I've read said it is a fair film)

Heard about it while in Korea. Somewhat contriversal there.

really? The film seems pretty tame in terms of politics (at least from teh writeups). Do most Koreans avoid discussing 'the war.?'

Koreans are conservative and very nationalistic. A film that approaches the concept that Communists are human and their own government being less then perfect is a bizarre concept there.
