"As One" a korean movie...
Every now n then u r looking for a sporty thrill, an aggressive passion, n sizzling forward dream to pursue. These all elements could be but found in movie, with sport as theme. "as one" is one such movie.
hahahaa...by the cover i doubted whether the characters highlighted r male or female :P . Soon the query demolished, as soon as the movie began :D . the story is centred upon 2 table tennis players from opposing parties North Korea and South Korea. Korea is one such country still to todays time, with a division providing two separate national representation....as though both r different countries. One is so advanced in education n other sectors, n the other lagging...except for pursuing strictness n such.
The story reviews highlight it as an event based on 1991 or 1990 (i cant recall so) olympics table tennis session. North n south korea both get to play against each other in every olympics match...n whoever wins among them (as both get to succeed to the semi-finals) gets to play against the 'ace killer': The China, who maintains the status of consecutive wins.
For the first time in history, then the korea boards decides upon duelling on the idea of "as one". i-e both north n south korea will team up to reserve Korea's long lost respect in the olympics. though it was a hard nut to crack...teaming up the opposing teams..who had been maintaining aggressive attitude towars one another in every match.
God knows from where gets the call, n tied their hearts as one... friendship ties started to bud. but the twist arises here, n the board of directors suspended the North Korean team just before finals...omg wts gonna happen nxt???? n why the hell were they suspended??
bt a miracle happens ....n wt happens so onwards? wt exactly is this miracle?
wanna know?
then watch "As One"....
n get inspired to play table tennis ;)
i bet ya', u gonna crave t' play the game....'m on it! ;)
P.S
a true event based story, bt the unfortunate thing is that....north korea n south korea never played "as one" team ever again!
Update:
Oh well, buddy.. if there is some inconsistency in uttering a word or two about Korea, well that pardon me on account that I m no local to the country!
