Documentary “” from NiuVision Media opens in New York, Los Angeles and select markets 

SYNOPSIS

In 2014, the first batch of 437 remains of the soldiers of Chinese People's Volunteer Army returned to China, and the martyrs who had left the motherland for more than 60 years finally returned home. Seventy-one years ago, those warriors as young as flowers took to the battlefield of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. Some returned, and some remained in that land forever. “Remembering 1950” uses a new perspective to focus on ordinary young people who participated in the War to Resist U.S. Aid and Aid Korea 71 years ago. Through real-life veterans who participated in the war from different services and different periods, they present their once passionate youth and dreams in simple and subtle words. It also restores the most real battlefield and brings shock and resonance that touches the hearts of contemporary young people. The best thing to remember is not to forget. “Remembering 1950” uses the lens to record precious national memories and pay tribute to the heroes who defended their homes.

Ever since I watched Takeshi Kitano's "Hana-Bi" for the first time (and many times after that) I have been a cinephile. While much can be said about the technical aspects of film, coming from a small town in Germany, I cherish the notion of art showing its audience something which one does normally avoid, neglect or is unable to see for many different reasons. Often the stories told in films have helped me understand, discover and connect to something new which is a concept I would like to convey in the way I talk and write about films. Thus, I try to include some info on the background of each film as well as a short analysis (without spoilers, of course), an approach which should reflect the context of a work of art no matter what genre, director or cast. In the end, I hope to pass on my joy of watching film and talking about it.
