War movie and War documentary


War movie and War documentary

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
On this June, I think about peace, the world without wars.
 
Yesterday night, I watched a documentary which was saying about ‘Obama and Truman, their dilemma of war’.The documentary was based on British’s sarcastic words to president Obama, that was America about Korean war.
 
Some of the british journalists and politicians were derogating and disregarding South Korea which had been weak and poor at that time. As a citizen of South Korea, having watched that, I was seriously mad and sad.
 
Every country looks so busy to self-justify and excuse their behaviors in the documentaries or movies which deal with all the wars that had happened in the world including Korean war. So, these kind of movies look pretty stupid, not somber and serious. I guess people who make this kind of movie or documentary would have dilemma.
 
Chief of state, generals and scientists could regret because results of war are different from what they intended first. And some of them live their lives with guilt and stress injuries caused by a psychological trauma of people killing each other. A figure who used to be a hero can be reappraised and revaluated in the turn of a hand. I felt confused watching war documentaries and movies for last few days.
 
War victimizes everyone.
I was wondering that there would be any need to have war.
 
War will be repeated constantly when we justifies it like in the documentaries or movies that I’ve watched. I think we, in this era, may have duty to break out this vicious circle. We must leave peace, the world without wars at least to our next generation.
 
'No War, Yes Peace! '
 
On this June, we cannot be just happy. This is really simple, but would be a definitely exact answer.

IPYG: Hope the new image of the Red

Hope the new image of the Red.
(not blood, but passion)

Today, all over the world is getting hotter with soccer fever by starting the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. There are 4 main countries (England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland) related to soccer in the United Kingdom (UK).Because they are the home of soccer, their interest in soccer is the highest. Ireland next to these countries is as hot as they are.

 Like this, UK and Ireland have many similar things to live in union. but Ireland started the history of its blood by being invaded by England in 1167. When Henry VIII was on the throne, England conquered entire Ireland and persecuted Catholicism that Irish had believed in. By doing, the religious conflict began. In the twentieth century, Ireland became independent, however, the religious conflict started the new bottle: Northern 6 states in Ulster that have more Protestantism than the Catholic Church didn't want to be separated from England. so a civil war broke out in Ireland.
 
After a civil war, Northern ireland remained in England, but they became the land of endless troubles. One case that has sparked attention was "Bloody Sunday". in 1972. The affair was that english sky army fired at protesting citizens and 13 citizens dead. Through the movie of Bloody Sunday, director Paul Greengrass particularized this affair. Irish Republican Army (IRA) as a reckless armed group of the Catholic Church in Northern Ireland caused a lot of terrorisms. Until declaring an armistice , for about 25 years, bloodshed had occurred and more than 3,200 people were killed in incidents of terrorism.
 
The conflicts are end, but Belfast, the capital of Northen Ireland, still is divided into two parts; Protestantism and the Catholic Church. The Irish flag introduced in the picture hasn't been used nationally except playing soccer games.
 
That the United Kingdom that is consist of many nations had brought on war because of their own religions makes me think about religion again. The role of religion is to achieve love, forgiveness, and harmony, but because of religion, so many conflicts have been happened. I think that is because the religion gets lost. I realized yet again just the best way to put an end to war is the harmony of religions.
 
 
As the whole world has became one through soccer games, Ireland and Northen Ireland end the war to symbolize red blood. I hope the red is not the symbol of the blood any more, but the image of the Harmony and Passion.

Sprache des Frühlings - Herman Hesse

Sprache des Frühlings

Herman Hesse






Jedes Kind weiß, was der Frühling spricht:
Lebe, wachse, blühe, hoffe, liebe,
freue dich und treibe neue Triebe,
gib dich hin und fürcht das Leben nicht!
 
 

 
 
어느 소년 소녀들이나 알고 있다 봄이 말하는 것을:

살아라, 자라나라, 피어나라, 희망하라, 사랑하라,

기뻐하라, 새싹을 움트게 하라.

몸을 던져 삶을 두려워 말아라!

 





Jeder Greis weiß, was der Frühling spricht:

Alter Mann, laß dich begraben,
räume deinen Platz den muntern Knaben,
gib dich hin und fürcht das Sterben nicht!
 
 
 
 

늙은이들은 모두 봄이 소곤거리는 것을 알아듣는다.

늙은이여, 땅 속에 묻혀라.

씩씩한 아이들에게 자리를 내어 주라.

몸을 내던지고 죽음을 겁내지 마라!
