Inspired by a photo found in the the United States National Archives, which showed an Asian in German war uniform amongst the POW captured during the Normandy, France battle.
The story tells how a Korean (Jang Dong Gun as Kim Jun Shik) and a Japanese (Odagiri Joe as Hasegawa Tatsuo), who both aspired to be the top marathoners met as rivals, then enemies and then finally as friends. Spanning the battle fields of China, the Soviet Union, and Germany, finally Normandy, France, the movie is about the humanity that transcends border and nationality.
The veteran Jang Dong Gun stars in this epic war movie together with an international cast- Japanese Odagiri Joe and China’s Fan Bing Bing. Directed by Kang Je Kyu of the famous movie, Taegukgi (which also starred Jang Dong Gun and Won Bin), this movie will delight those into epic war movies.
‘My Way’ was invited to the Berlin Film Festival 2012.
