Ode to my Father.

About a North Korean who loses his Father / Sister while a refugee to South Korea.

He ends up living through the economic transformation of South Korea.

Works in Germany as a miner where he meets his Wife

Goes to Vietnam during the Vietnam War

Etc Etc.

Great movie. I found a subtitled version online and kept a hard copy of it and rewatched it several times.

Didn't like this as much but this was another great history film about Korea.

Amores Perros

Your welcome
"The flowers bloom, then wither... The stars shine and one day become extinct. This earth, the sun, the galaxies and even the big universe, someday will be destroyed. Compared with that, the human life is only a blink, just a little time. In that short time - people are born, laugh, cry, fight, are injured, feel joy, sadness, hate someone, love someone. All in just a moment. And then, are embraced by the eternal sleep called death."

My friend is a big history buff and loves movies. He says the best war movie ever made was Korean (subtitles only). I can’t remember what it’s called but I’ve meant to check it out.
