The implied, obvious reading of The Battle of Jangsari is that the South Korean teenagers who were brutally killed fighting North Koreans during the Korean War were heroes. At least, that s what you d think if you d ever seen any other war movie. And it s certainly what I was expecting, given that The Battle of Jangsari proved far more intriguing than those clichés once I realized this reading isn t actually supported by the text.
Absolutely nothing about the South Korean leadership in this movie is portrayed in a remotely positive manner. Exactly one scene with a high-ranking South Korean commander shows him to be utterly indifferent as to whether these scrappy kids live or die. The movie ends with one of the heroes of the battle being sentenced to death and the battle itself being buried historically because it makes the South Korean government look bad.
Deadline reports a growing cast.
‘CSI: Vegas’: Paula Newsome, Matt Lauria & Mel Rodriguez Join CBS Sequel
Paula Newsome, Matt Lauria and Mel Rodriguez have been cast as leads in CSI: Vegas, which is nearing a formal straight-to-series order at CBS, I have learned.
I hear William Petersen and Jorja Fox are finalizing their deals to star in CSI: Vegas, which serves as a sequel to the mothership CSI series, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, reprising their roles as Gil Grissom and Sara Sidle, respectively. While billed as an event series, I hear CSI: Vegas, from writer Jason Tracey (Elementary), CBS Studios and Jerry Bruckheimer TV, could become an ongoing series running for multiple seasons.
