I think it’s safe to say that most guys out there love WWII films. There history of the war is so powerful and there are countless stories to be told that there is a good chance you’ll be able to find something new every time a WWII film is released. The next picture in this massive category comes to us from Korea and is titled My Way (Mai Wei) and stars Jang Dong-Gun, Joe Odagiri and Fan Bingbing.
The visuals in the trailer look absolutely stunning and reminiscent of Saving Private Ryan but its quality is diminished a little because of the unusually corny voice over.
My Way is both written and directed by Kang Je-Kyu, the man who brought us one of the best war films ever made, Tak Guk Gi: The Brotherhood of War. Check out the trailer and synopsis below and let us know what you think.
My Way will have a limited theatrical run starting on April 20th thanks to PMK*BNC, Well Go USA and CJ Entertainment.
After emerging as bitter rivals and enemies as young marathon runners, Korean native Kim Jun-shik and Japanese aristocrat Tatsuo Hasegawa both find themselves in the Japanese army, fighting the Chinese and Soviets in a bloody battle. Jun-shik is there under duress, while Tatsuo is a powerful colonel. After both are taken prisoner by the Soviets, their mutual hatred and mistrust boils over into a violence that is only stopped by the continuing horror of the war. Forced to fight for the Soviets, the two eventually rely on each other for survival, making it to Germany, where they are in turn separated and forced to fight for the Nazis. They meet again at Normandy Beach, both unlikely survivors, bonded together by history as they struggle to survive one more terrible battle as the Allies arrive on D-Day.
