United Kingdom released, PAL/Region 2 DVD: LANGUAGES: Korean ( Dolby Digital 5.1 ), English ( Subtitles ), SPECIAL FEATURES: Featurette, Interactive Menu, Making Of, Photo Gallery, Scene Access, Trailer(s), SYNOPSIS: At the height of the Korean War, the remote community of Dongmakgol remains sheltered from the brutal conflict raging in its midst. But when two deserters from the South arrive at the same time that a naïve girl leads a small Northern unit to the village, a terrible conflict looks set to shatter its peaceful existence. Yet Dongmakgol is an almost magical place. A haven where the beauty of nature and the simplicity of life encourage the warring visitors to set aside their differences and join together in a desperate bid to defend the innocence of its people. Starring Hye-Jeong Kang (Old-Boy), Welcome to Dongmakgol is a beautifully shot war epic. Set to a sweeping score, it is both moving and uplifting, providing a cinematic experience guaranteed to live long in your memory ...Battle Ground 625 ( Welcome to Dongmakgol )

5.0 out of 5 stars Little masterpiece, 16 Jun 2010
This review is from: Battleground 625 [DVD] (DVD)
This is a re-packaging of Welcome to Dongmakgol, presumably to try to mis-sell it as a war film, which it is and it isn't. You're probably looking for another Korean war epic, as was I. Cheap enough to take a punt right? Well, go for it! This is a unique comedy melodrama with a few bits of decent action to drive the narrative. Doesn't sound promising does it? But this film is just wonderful! Unique, funny, intelligent, compelling! Everthing that most Hollywood films aren't. JUST BUY IT!

This review is from: Battleground 625 [DVD] (DVD)
I absolutely loved this film. Set during the Korean war, BATTLEGROUND 625 (aka WELCOME TO DONGMAKGOL) displays wry humour and a quality of magic. It can make you laugh and cry. Will definitely watch this again! Great entertainment.

4.0 out of 5 stars Re Release Warning, 29 Mar 2009

Tommy D "Tom" (London, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Battleground 625 [DVD] (DVD)
I am a great fan of Korean Cinema or more accurately South Korean Cinema, I was about to buy this on the strength of what has gone before when I decided to read the very short synopsis. Luckily I did as this is re package of Welcome to Dongmakgol Welcome to Dongmakgol [DVD](probably spelt that wrong). Which I alreday own and actually really like, it is a Korean take on the story told in The Last Valley The Last Valley [1970] [DVD]one of Michael Caines great little films set in Medieval Europe and also worth a look. This too is a great film, well acted and extremely beutifully shot. It is both warm and human and one of those where you get more from it on a subsequent viewing.There is even a smattering of humour, in subtitles with some English, this is a must see for all fans of foreign war cinema.
