In the aftermath of war, the film 'Uprising' explores the evolving friendship between Cheon-yeong, a noble slave, and Jong-ryeo, a conflicted nobleman, revealing societal inequalities.
Korean film legend Park Chan-wook emphasizes that 'Uprising' reflects on the chaos sparked by war, not simply the act of war itself, providing a deeper exploration of its historical repercussions.
'The Imjin War remains a vital part of Korean history, shaping national identity and perceptions about Japan,' explains Professor Hur, highlighting its omission from American education.
The film portrays the personal journey of two men in late 16th century Korea, encapsulating themes of war, class disparity, and the enduring effects of conflict on friendship.
