An Asian Perspective on World War II

SEOUL — In one excruciating scene of Kang Je-kyu’s new movie “My Way,” Soviet soldiers order two war prisoners of different nationalities to fight to the death, but the Korean one refuses to kill his fellow Japanese captive, who he had known as a rival in sports. Instead, an unlikely alliance begins to form.

The movie is the most expensive ever made in South Korea, a fictionalized account of the real-life story of how a Korean man ended up fighting for the Germans in World War II and being found by American soldiers at the invasion of Normandy.
