Another addition to the "Underrated

Another addition to the "Underrated/Unknown War Movie" list.
Taegukgi: The Brotherhood Of War.



Tells the story of two brothers who are forcibly drafted into the South Korean army at the outbreak of the Korean War and how one brother will do ANYTHING to send his younger brother home safely.
Filled with high drama and visceral, well-crafted combat scenes.
Very impressive overall based on the fact that it was made on 1/5 of the budget as Saving Private Ryan & is arguably just as powerful.
I can't recommend this film enough.
The ending will break you 💯

Imagine a network of trails carved into the very spine of mountains

Imagine a network of trails carved into the very spine of mountains , traversed by a tireless flow of human porters bearing precious cargo on their backs. This was the reality of the Ancient Tea-Horse Road, a vital artery of trade that snaked through the rugged landscapes of southwestern China, connecting the tea-rich regions of Sichuan with Tibet for centuries. A photograph from 1908 captures a poignant moment along this arduous route in Sichuan Sheng: porters, their bodies bent under the weight of tightly compressed tea packages, their faces etched with determination, embarking on a journey that was as much a lifeline as it was a testament to human endurance. The Tea-Horse Road was more than just a trade route; it was a conduit of culture, a pathway for the exchange of not only tea and horses (the primary commodities traded) but also religion, customs, and ideas between the Han Chinese and the Tibetan people. The porters, often walking for weeks or even months, faced treacherous terr...

5 Things You Need To Know About The First World War red war between 1914 and 1918. The majority joined on the side of the Allies, including Serbia, Russia, France, Britain, Italy and the United States. They were opposed by Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire, who together formed the Central Powers. What began as a relatively small conflict in southeast Europe became a war between European empires. Britain and its Empire’s entry into the war made this a truly global conflict fought on a geographical scale never seen before. Fighting occurred not only on the Western Front, but in eastern and southeast Europe, Africa and the Middle East.... The First World War was not inevitable or accidental, but began as a result of human actions and decisions. Over 65 million men volunteered or were conscripted to fight in mass citizen armies. Millions of civilians also contributed to the war effort by working in industry, agriculture or jobs left open when men enlisted. Victory d...

The End Of The Naked Dress? Designers Return To A More Refined Take On Sexy

Image
The End Of The Naked Dress? Designers Return To A More Refined Take On Sexy While the autumn winter 2023 shows delivered a slew of unforgettable moments, this season as a whole felt particularly void of social-media gimmicks. The focus instead? Clothes that were exceptionally well-made, which resulted in exquisite tailoring and razor-sharp lines. But there was also a subtle undercurrent of tactility throughout, some body-conscious and some more textural, which felt sensuous in the most elevated way.  Even though New York and London fashion weeks, respectively, may have featured spectacles that exuded playfulness, such as Christopher Kane’s AI-generated pig print and Collina Strada’s shredded prairie dresses, there were a few collections that concentrated on sophisticated eveningwear. In New York, for example, Gabriela Hearst’s floor-length gowns with peekaboo hips felt quietly sensual, while LaQuan Smith achieved the ideal harmony between his signature daring cut-out details and pr...

Naked Students Protest Dictator's Secret Burial

Naked Students Protest Dictator's Secret Burial More than a dozen nude students joined thousands of Filipinos in a protest against the burial of Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos in a heroes' cemetery. A few thousand activists joined a "Black Friday" protest on November 25 in the rain at Manila's seaside Rizal Park, where they carried Marcos' effigy in a mock coffin. Anger was directed at Marcos and his family. But President Rodrigo Duterte was also targeted for allowing the burial of the dictator, who was ousted in a "people power" revolt three decades ago. Protesters held placards reading "Digong traitor, a lapdog of the dictator," referring to Duterte by his nickname. Dozens of students trooped outside the presidential palace in Manila in a separate protest and burned an effigy of Marcos in a mock coffin. At the state-run University of the Philippines, a fraternity turned its annual recruitment ritual into a protest with naked student...
