DVD PICK OF THE WEEK - WELCOME TO DONGMAKGOL


This weeks DVD Pick of the Week is the 2005 Korean film titled Welcome To Dongmakgol. This is a really great movie that I have watched several times.
The movie is about six soldiers (three North Koreans, two South Koreans, and one American) who find themselves stranded in a remote mountain village during the Korean War in 1950. The villagers no nothing about war or conflict and just live a peaceful life. Slowly the soldiers begin to overlook their differences and find their similarities. This movie has great cinematography, great music and is a truly enjoyable story. There are certain scenes in this movie that have me crying like a baby every time I watch it.
Anyway, check it out! Here is the trailer for the film although I was unable to find a trailer with English subtitles.
