[Movie] Battlefield Heroes
Battlefield Heroes is a 2011 South Korean war comedy film, directed by Lee Joon-ik. In case you are not familiar with Lee Joon-ik's work, one of them is the King and The Clown. The one with the clown that got his eyes seared with hot iron, no? You guys haven't seen that? Well, it was awesome.Battlefield Heroes is a sequel to the Once Upon a Time in a Battlefield. It took place on AD668 where Shilla (south Korean state) join forces with the Tang Dynasty (Chinese kingdom) and attacked Goguryeo (north Korean state). Due to its historical nature of this movie, some of its plot might be unfamiliar with audience outside of Korea. But then again, this is not exactly a historically-accurate movie. Its a comedy film where I think it would be quite appealing to outside audience. Or maybe it just me, I dunno. I enjoyed the movie though. It hilarious.
Ok, maybe I watched this because Kwang-soo also cast in this film. Guilty as charged. But I was really interested to see his acting in movies other than the drama. He didn't act as the main protagonist though, seems like he is really good as supporting actor. The story is about the 2 side, Shilla and Goguryeo. On Shilla side, a Baekje man named Thingamajig (Lee Moon-sik) was drafted into the Shilla army. While on Goguryeo, well, they were about to be screwed over from both side, Shilla and Tang.
