SEOUL - Veteran director remains confident about his much-debated film that aims to portray oppression in subtle fashion. Some claim it depicts Korean characters as overly villainous in comparison to the Japanese corporate executives who held them captive. But the film's director Ryoo Seung-wan is confident that he and his crew have given their all to the blockbuster, in both the scope of the cinematography and the depiction of accurate facts. Finding records that contained an organized account of the events on the island proved a difficult feat, Ryoo said. Ryoo, who debuted as a director in 2000, acknowledges his transition from making more entertainment-focused flicks to features with socially conscious messages.
