    Moved by these Koreans in the movie
    Fighting against autocracy is so hard as an armless civilian that you have to be really brave and ready to sacrifice. The leading actress shows true reaction of an ordinary college student, which tests me as an audience if I would stand up against the evil, especially I might face similar situations in the real world, living under an autocratic regime.
