여덟발의 총성! 진실은 그곳에 있다. 미스터리 휴먼 블록버스터
판문점 공동경비구역 내 돌아오지 않는 다리 북측 초소에서 북한 초소병(신하균 분)이 총상을 입고 살해되는 사건이 발생한다. 사건 이후 북한은 남한의 기습테러공격으로, 남한은 북한의 납치설로 각각 엇갈린 주장을 한다. 양국은 남북한의 실무협조 하에 스위스와 스웨덴으로 구성된 중립국 감독위원회의 책임수사관을 기용해 수사에 착수할 것을 극적으로 합의한다.
중립국 감독 위원회에서는 책임수사관으로 쮜리히 법대 출신의 한국계 스위스인이며 군 정보단 소령인 소피(이영애 분)를 파견한다. 태어나 처음으로 한국에 입국한 소피는 남측과 북측 모두 피의자 인도 거부와 관계 당국의 비협조적인 태도로 수사 초기부터 어려움을 겪는다. 어렵게 사건 당사자인 남한의 이수혁 병장(이병헌 분)과 북한의 오경필 중사(송강호 분)를 만나 사건 정황을 듣게 되지만, 그들은 서로 상반된 진술만을 반복해 수사는 점차 미궁으로 빠져든다.
그러던 중 사건 최초의 목격자인 남성식 일병(김태우 분)의 진술에서 의혹을 느끼고 수사를 주변 인물로 확대시켜 나간다. 사건을 은폐 축소하려는 남북한의 상부조직의 음모와 극도의 혼돈 상태에 빠진 피의자들, 중립국 감독 위원회 측의 미온적인 수사태도로 소피는 계속적인 어려움을 겪게 되지만 시체부검과 증거물 조사, 공격적이고 치밀한 추적으로 점차 진실에 가까이 접근해 간다.
그러던 중 사건의 전모가 드러날 것을 두려워한 남성식이 돌연 투신 자살을 시도한다. 이 사건을 계기로 상부 조직은 소피의 아버지가 과거 한국전에 참전했던 인민군이었음을 폭로하고 중립국 감독위원회를 사주해 소피의 수사전권 해임을 통보한다. 남한 병사 이수혁 병장은 왜 북한 초소병을 쏘았을까? 최초 목격자인 남성식 일병은 왜 자살을 시도했을까? 그리고, 북한의 오경필 중사는 무엇을 숨기고 있는가? 그녀는, 진실을 파헤치기 위해 마지막 시도를 감행하는데.

This professional review refers to Joint Security Area-VCD
|
Joint Security Area is the highest invested film in Korean film history, it is also one of the highest grossed films in Korea ever. It was released in Korea in 2000 and received immediate success due to its controversial subject and the director's decisive critique on the issue. This film is about a mysterious murder case involving several soldiers who are camping at the border of South and North Korea, an area known as Joint Security Area. One night, two North Korean soldiers were shot to death. A South Korean soldier (Lee Byung-Heon) is the prime suspect. The investigation is carried out by a neutral party headed by Sophie (Lee Young-Ae). Sophie soon discovers that it is not merely a brutal murder, the case is more complicated than she expected as there is a clandestine relationship among several South and North Korean soldiers. What makes this film interesting is that the director is able to break the political taboo and deal with the issue in an honest yet peaceful manner. Tension is turned to humors and then to suspense, the director is good at controlling the atmosphere of the story and revolving the reaction of the audience, hence, the film succeeds in raising certain discourse regarding the current situation in Korea and elicits positive responses from the Korean people. For instance, the ending snapshot is a very important motif of the film. It symbolizes the theme successfully. What the director wants to convey is that although South Korea and North Korea are separated, there is nothing that can stop the people of the two countries from getting together. Korea is one nation after all. Fate will put them together no matter what. From the depiction of the intimate friendship among the soldiers, Park Chan-Wook tells us how anxious the Koreans long for reunion of the nation. Song Kang-Ho is always a supporting character in other films. In JSA, he is finally able to take the lead role, and he gives excellent performance to substantiate his capability. His role as the North Korean officer beats Lee Byung Heon in terms of every aspect. The bodily gestures, emotions and dialogues are all carried out persuasively. It is no wonder why he could capture various best actor awards with this film. Lee Young-Ae speaks fluent English in the film and succeeds in building up a convincing image of the NNSC officer. This film is shot in a 2.35:1 aspect ratio. The resulted image is so beautiful and serene that you will almost forget you are watching a narrative film. The filmmaker has created a tangible world for the film and heightens the artistic value brilliantly. No matter you are Korean or not, there are always something you can gain from watching this film. DVD (HK version) - The picture quality is not bad, I am not sure if it is in the original 2.35:1 format or not, but it looks like widescreen to me. Nevertheless, I don't have a 16x9 TV and I heard that this DVD is not real 16:9. For the sound, its ok, but I am not certain if it is my audio system or what, I have to turn up the volume quite a bit to get the desired quality. Overall speaking, with the region free coding, all the special features and bonus materials(postcards and booklet), this DVD is definitely worth to buy!

Death at the DMZ
|
"JSA" is an exciting, if uneven, film about an investigation into the deaths of two North Korean soldiers at Korea's DMZ. Although entirely different in subject matter, the structure of the movie is remarkably similar to Norman Jewison's superb film, "A Soldier's Story".
Lee Byung Hun commands the screen as an impulsive young South Korean sergeant who reaches out to befriend two North Korean border guards who had saved his life when he became lost during a patrol. Song Kang Ho brilliantly portrays his older, more stable North Korean counterpart. This heart-warming relationship ultimately explodes in a shocking culmination driven by military duty and political tensions. Lee Young Ae, who later became Asia's darling for her star turn in the "Dae Jang Geum" TV series, plays the lead investigator, an underwritten role that primarily serves as a device to move the story forward. The attempt to give her character a background story about her father is a confusing, but blessedly brief, distraction. I wholeheartedly recommend "JSA" as a taut thriller that offers enduring insights into our human nature. |

Very good movie!
|
This was the first Korean movie I saw and was thuroughly impressed by the quality of action, drama, and story line. It stars young Lee Young Ae who was later popularized by the TV series 'Dae Jang Geum'.
It's an excellent suspense movie. I highly recommend it. |

Joint Security Area
|
As a fan of Lee Byung Hun, I watched this movie, never expecting it to end the way it did. I continue to be impressed by the range of emotions he can show in a movie. The male leads did an outstanding job and showed how even in war, friendships are formed.
Unfortunately, Lee Young Ae's performance was quite weak and did nothing to enhance this movie. I recommend it highly but be prepared for a hard ending. |
