Add to this the fact that these teenagers are going through life straddling two very distinct cultures. The film is about the usual antics teens get into when left to their own devices: ego trips, binge drinking, rebellion, accidental self-discovery and falling in and out of love. The group boards buses and goes to a camp outside of Seoul-where most of the soul searching takes place. They’re in Korea on a government-funded summer camp that would help the youngsters trace their heritage and connect their ethnic roots. These teens are the children of those who escaped the military conflict of decades past. They hail from all over the globe: the United States, England, Mexico, Germany, etc.
Teenagers of Korean descent find themselves at the Gimpo airport. The war that broke out in the Korean peninsula in the 1950s caused a massive dispersion of Korean immigrants into all corners of the world. Will their plot succeed? Will they finally avenge the deaths of their loved ones? Watch to find out. The team, composed of an Olympic sharp shooter, a police officer, a gangster, a bribing businessman and a head of a private security firm, is now within shooting distance of the heavily guarded former head of state. They’ve patiently bided their time and cleverly positioned themselves to perform the perfect assassination. Five relatives of those who died have banded together to take revenge on the country’s former president, the man said to be ultimately responsible for the death of their loved ones. Taking inspiration from this historical incident, “26 Years” is set in 2006, 26 years after the massacre. The event, known in Korean history books as the “Gwangju Massacre,” is a dark episode in the country’s tumultuous march to democracy. In May 1980, in the city of Gwangju, South Korea, soldiers were ordered to open fire on protesting civilians, resulting in hundreds of deaths.
“26 Years” is the length of time five people have waited to exact revenge. Regardless of what your beliefs about the upper class are, “High Society” will seduce you with its stellar cinematography. If you already find yourself biased against rich folks, this movie will make your prejudice feel justified! It’s a grandmaster chess match between the couple and people who harbor their own personal agendas.
The premise is fertile ground for backroom dealings, deceptive negotiations and not-so-innocent moves to gain the upper hand. She’s a deputy curator for one of the country’s richest families, and he’s an economics professor with an eye for the big prize. “High Society” details an ambitious couple’s journey to the top of South Korea’s social rankings. This hold-on-to-your-seats, heart-stopping movie will get your adrenaline levels to DEFCON 1. Not only do the two guys share the same family name, they also realize that they need to work together on a critical mission if the world is to avoid a deadly nuclear war. There he meets his security counterpart, Kwak Chul-woo. With rogue North Korean hardliners hot on their tail, he sneaks the injured leader into the South. That very possibility is contemplated in this action-thriller headlined by Jung Woo-sung, playing the role of Eom Chul-woo-a top North Korean security officer who finds himself protecting “Number One.”Īmidst the chaos of violent explosions, comrade Eom is dedicated to stopping bullets for the country’s leader. Imagine a violent military coup in North Korea.
