Homes Apart: Korea (1991)
Homes Apart: Korea WikiData IMDb TMDB Douban
A thorough examination of the devastating human cost of the Korean War, which suddenly and forcibly divided the nation in two in 1953, separating millions of families, with no end in sight even as the Cold War ended decades later. Christine Choy’s personal experience of growing up under conflicting views from both sides of the Cold War is beautifully woven into a script by playwright David Henry Hwang, as Choy and JT Takagi follow a man’s mission to reunite with his sister in the north. As the first US filmmakers to be given permission to shoot in both North and South Korea, Choy and Takagi capture the different paths the nations took after their separation, with stunning, uncompromising footage of life in the north and civil unrest against the military dictatorship in the south, providing a powerful testament of the social, economic and political consequences of a forgotten proxy war. 源自:
