Better Man is the greatest movie ever made about a singing and dancing monkey
Musicals live and die by music and that is where Better Man succeeds. Most musicals are lucky if they have one or two show-stopping scenes. Better Man has at least five.
Harbin is a dark and intense story, one among many, of Korea’s fight for independence
In 1909 a small band of Korean independence fighters including protagonist Ahn Jung-geun (Hyun Bin) plot to assassinate Japan’s first Prime Minister Itō Hirobumi. Their goal was to take a big step toward Korean independence and pull their country out from underneath Japan’s harsh rule. Hirobumi had just rejected Korea’s attempt at annexation, so in response a small group of Korean soldiers hatched a plan to eliminate this new threat.
