This movie reminds me that I should really be grateful to have such great friends.
We're not like the characters in the movie, but we're "long and close" companions.
I feel like this movie helped me understand my parents better too, and the time they lived in. They didn't grow up in Busan, but it seems like the culture of Korea was so different, and it helped me to see the way they see things today from their time.
This movie is based on a true story. Many people are not aware of the fact that the director of this
Movie is sangtaeks character in the movie. It's his way of telling the story of how his friends went separate ways. A very true story though some things were put in for movie purposes. Also FYI the movie covers the war between the 7 star family and the 20th century families. That part is very true. I am from busan most people not just from busan but all over Korea are familiar with these two org
what you said wasn't intelligent at all. cause you based that on false information. lol so just shut the fuck up. probably your own country, which you have so much pride in, would most likely think your a dumb ass too. To me, i don't take you as a Japanese, nope. You're one of the few people we call extreme nationalist. Those few people that everyone hates. my friend is with me right now he said your a "遅らせる" aretard. He's more Japanese than you are..lol
I think crying while watching movies are for pussys, but the end was really touching i had a hard time trying not to cry :'( too bad friendship like this is rare to find.
This has to be one of my fav films and I'm not even Korean lol.
I watched this like 10 times before I even had a copy with subtitles.
Just on the betrayal tip. I don't think the film showed betrayal. In the end when Dong Su got murdered the whole ordeal stemmed from misunderstanding. Firstly Junsuk never ordered Dong Su to be murdered initially it was his right hand man. And when the first attempt failed Dong Su went for revenge. Dong Su was give a chance by Junsuk however didn't take it.
yea, it's been a while since i've seen the movie but i think i remember what you're saying, thanks.
but i do recall the Junsok was going to leave for Hawaii, at the last minute when he walked out of the club, but things got messy.
no wait, i think it was Junsuk who advised Dong Su to leave for Hawaii, which Dong Su disagreed. but after walking out of the club, changed his mind but it was too late.
@sir5ive Actually, DongSu's right hand man killed him thinking that DongSu was accepting the Junsuk's offer and leaving them behind since he requested to go to Airport to give a farewell to another friend who was going abroad for schooling.
@sir5ive Junsuk took the charge of DongSu's murder because as he said, "True gangster shouldn't lose face" when asked by another friend in the jail why he took the blame which he didn't do. Meaning JunSuk took the blame for the murder because he wanted to save JunSuk's face and legacy by letting the whole world know that he wasn't killed by his own man but rather by his rivals. Because getting killed by one of your own man is real lower form of ending a gangster life.

I read an article that Junsuk's real character was released from jail december last year (for murdering his friend, Dong-Su) and married to longtime girlfriend(real character in the movie) in April this year. About 500 gangsters showed up at his wedding & 100 policemen were monitored the wedding. I know the movie is based on true story but I did not think the girlfriend was real character.
Great Classic! I was fortunate enough to watch it in a theater. One of my all time favorites. I still watch it today on my dvd every now and then. I heard it was inspired by a true story.
This movie is based on true story. Yoo OhSung chacracter is still in jail for murder and other charges. Jang dong gun character was murdered by ax, not knife. Sangtek character is the director of this movie.
also all the characters has Busan accent, which is considered to be one of the thickest accent in Korea. when this moive came out and had such great success, everybody tried to speak with Busan accent.
god that's what i hate about korean movies, they always seem so dark and violent. but other than that they've got great story lines and actors, and don't cram it with special effects like american movies.
don't say too violent... u mean too realistic for you because korean fighting scenes are not like what you're used to seeing. Asians flying around with swords........
hey guys i need help...^_^ i just watched this movie and i ended up here in youtube trying to find out the ending...the dvd i have is fucked up...it stopped in the part where 2 friends are talking in jail after the court trial and he's asking him why did he do it?(telling the court that he ordered the murder of their friend)....plz help^_^ tell me the ending...thanks
oh wow, you missed the best part. The guy you saw in jail Jin sook didn't want to hurt is friend in the rival gang, so he tells him to go to hawaii until things cool down, but when he's telling him this the rival gang had a plan to kill him, but his friends tells them no to do it, so he instead gets killed for treason.
and since Jin sook was there when he was killed he was blamed for it and ended up going to jail, and out of respect he told the court that he was the one who killed him so it doesn't make the other guy look bad in front of his gangster friends. Get it?
i dont know why everyone thumbed u down but i agree with u. Being korean myself i know koreans have a history of violence and they get really angry lol. I first saw it in my parents but now its in me :/

Its not a fucking cult film at all.
A cult film is a film that has acquired a highly devoted but specific group of fans.
Friend is a very commercial A-class Korean movie.
