Why watch the movie The Age of Shadows?
"Did you know that for 35 years, Japan invaded and controlled Korea? The rule ended at the end of World War II, but this Korean super-production deals with a period much before that: the 1920s, when Japanese imperialism was suffocating local identity - and resistance was fighting against the invaders. With beautiful photography and good action sequences, this is a feature film for those who like more action-packed movies or want to know a bit more about a recent historical period that is rarely mentioned in our classrooms."
