Following the release of the first two installments of the critically acclaimed The Past Unearthed series, the Korean Film Archive unveils its third collection, The Past Unearthed The 3rd: Dear Soldier. A pro-militarism film with strong propaganda undertones, Dear Soldier sees young Korean men being drafted into the Japanese Imperial Army during the latter stages of World War II, as their proud parents bask in the glory of their sons. Discovered through the Chinese Film Archive, the film was directed by one of the colonial period's most well-known filmmakers Bang Han Joon (Hangang, Seonghwangdang). Designed by the Japanese Imperial Army as part of a massive national campaign to downplay their forced conscription system in Korea, the film, which was produced in a semi-documentary style by the news division of the Japan Joseon Army, encourages thousands of nervous Korean mothers to willingly embrace the Imperial ordinance by providing a mind-easing look at the daily rituals of life in the military training camps. Hiramas Jenki (Nam Seong Min) and Yasmoto Aichi (Dok Eun Ki) are both facing the draft. Though extremely proud that their sons have been called by the Imperial Japanese Empire, their mothers grow increasingly worried about the boys' well-being. But rest assured, life in the training camp turns out to be anything but unpleasant. Though they undergo a rigorous training regiment everyday, each soldier is treated with utmost respect, nutritious food, and top-notch living conditions. They are even allowed to go home every holiday. Hiramas and Yasmoto excel in their performance and soon, to their mothers' delight, advance in ranks. When Hiramas is assigned his first field mission, Yasmoto, who is excluded from the mission, feels wronged but soon realizes that his role at the homefront is just as rewarding and glorifious as that of his friend's. |
