Almost every South Korean war movie. Generally they are more sympathetic to the North, strangely enough. I think because unlike so many other wars, both countries got fucked in their own way.

Joint Security Area (Park Chan-wook) is pretty cool, not really that informative but it's about the conflict

Just watch M*A*S*H and you'll get the gist of it

hollywood won't touch it because it was so horrific it even made general MacArthur sick.

Not many from America. It was even less popular of a war than Vietnam.

I mean the South is generally better off, but they more or less had to surrender their culture to the West, so I suppose there's a sense of loss in that.

>>86391390
what?
South korea does not have a western culture

>>86392149
I think he's equating modern technology with western culture. Which isn't wrong.

>>86392149
they are degenerate just like all countries that have been "saved" by the west

Capitalism, skyscrapers, fast food and rapidly evolving technology?

China is communist, and that shit is everywhere over there too.

>Capitalism
Crony oligarchy
>skyscrapers
Soulless post-modernist architecture
>fast food
Rubbish and soul-crushing cuisine
>rapidly evolving technology
Planned obsolescence, labour outsourcing, Chinese and South Asian manufacturing, and a general decrease in attention span across all age groups

If you want a history lesson read a book don't watch a movie ya mongoloid

All those "downsides" are glowing tiles of awesome gold to people living in the before times.

it's because the south was just as bad as the north. at that time both were brutal, oppressive dictatorships that massacred civilians for their political views. entire villages on both sides were wiped out wholesale for suspicion of dissent.

and frankly kim il sung was a much more legitimate korean leader than syngman rhee. he actually fought the japanese and spent his life either in korea or among the resistance in manchuria and northern china. meanwhile rhee was gallivanting all over the world and being a typical corrupt politician. there's a reason why in south korea today the attitude toward rhee is either ambivalent or negative.

it became common practice to gun down civilian refugee columns heading south because of fear of nork/chinese infiltration. war is hell
