I remember a very strange punishment given by my school teacher when I was little. He used to ask the misbehaved children to slap each other's cheeks in the classroom. The children started as if they were playing but in the end they almost hurt each other and it ended in a big fight.7 k1 }. K. ^ T
3 D( ]! f( b4 I# A0 ]; ]While looking back upon the age of chaos which extends from the Liberation from Japan to the Korean Civil War, I've always felt the same kind of sorrow and anxiety as I used to feel about the children in my class. My family was not an exception. We were also torn apart by the national disorder and I was always shrunkn from my family's divided history. For such a reason, I wanted to reflect the age which made so many earnest people feel shrunken. I was almost destined to film the sorrow of the people who survived the difficult period.( O& Z% H/ ?1 d; `7 t; v ^

Ideology stems from people and it is for the people. Therefore if it doesn't care about people, it loses its ideal and dream and cannot exist. I think the leftists and the rightists were too absorbed in the empty ideology, and thus lost the true ideal which should be cherished and respected. On the contrary, the false ideology might have engraved terrible memories on the minds of the people who survived the difficult period.; L* B: ?$ d2 V! F# A

: o9 z+ J! \7 Z6 |+ k5 c, i7 e/ F# c5 t; t
This Korean drama is set in a period of Korean schism, approximately 1948, when political forces both within and without are rending the country in two. Just as the Communists begin to seize vital centers to begin their expansion, the United States covertly supports militias standing at the opposite of the political spectrum; the result is a tug of war that leaves thousands of innocents dead. The conflict is dramatized in the relationship between two brothers, one who tries to liberate land for the peasants, the other a functionary of the military. While destitute farmers are lulled into pipe-dreams by leftists, this affiliation becomes their very ruin, and the conflict soon slips well out of control of either side. Although strongly political, this film remains remarkably low-key -- at times almost anti-dramatic. Taebek Mountains seems to be aiming for a certain clear-headed honesty amidst the slogans and propaganda. It also reaffirms the South Korean film industry's willingness to deal with old wounds in a manner that's cinematic and instructive. It's well worth your attention.

& s' |! C$ l* d! k8 Q C7 vSince the Korean Peninsula was liberated, conflicts between the right and the left have been continuously taking place. In 1948, the communists headed by Sanjin put the town of Bulkyo under their control and enforce discipline among the townspeople. Before long the government troops of the South recover the town and drive the communists out to a mountain, where the communists form a guerrilla band. The right-winger, Sangku, who is Sangjin's brother is in the government troops. The anti-communist troops oppress the communist families. Under the circumstances, Sohwa, a shrine maiden, helps a communist who is her childhood friend and falls in love with him. Kim, a calm teacher, is physically attacked in the dark because he criticizes both the right and the left. Sangjin solicits cooperation in the village of Yuro, but those who show willingness for collaboration fall victim to betrayer. The communist camp becomes cornered because the guerrilla bands are subjugated. Then, the Korean War breaks out and the North advances into the South. Sangjin and his comrades become overjoyed but soon find out that the North does not approve of the communist party of the South. Soon the US troops launch a massive attack. In response to this action, the communist troops initiate genocide, burn down buildings, and pull out. All who is left to pray for the repose of the dead is Sohwa alone.
