GP506






























GP 506 Movie Review


Rating: ★★★★☆



Around the border lines between South Korea and North Korean, there are a lot of GPs (guard posts). In fact, the GPs are within DMZ(Demilitarized Zones). Usually, several platoons rotate to guard GPs. One day, a group of 21 soldiers staying at GP 506 died except for one. A Military Police officer was called in to investigate this horrible incident. The Defense Department sent a group of 21 soldiers to check the matter out.

Upon inspecting the scene, 19 soldiers were shot to death and a soldier who seemed to have shot the 19 soldiers was carrying an axe in his hands. He began to attack the soldiers who were there to check things out. They had no choice but to shoot him.

The thing is that there is still one missing soldier. While the inspection team was searching for the missing soldier, they found him hiding in a storage room downstairs.
The Military Police officer interviewed him in order to solve the mystery. What he told the officer was very shocking.

One day, a few soldiers went out to do a regular search mission. When they got back, they looked very tired and got rashes all over their body. They got infected with a deadly virus and the virus spread in the unit.
However, the platoon leader chose not to report the matter to his superior. He was afraid that it might be bad for his military career. He hoped that everything would be fine. As time went by, the soldiers went mad and shot at each other.
In the end, the Military Police officer and the 21 soldiers who were there to check the scene out got infected as well. Sadly, they had to kill themselves to stop the virus.

While I was watching this movie, I got scared of serving in the Army. On the other hand, I began to appreciate the Korean men and women doing a great job of protecting our country. I also think when there is a even small matter, the leading officer should immediately report it to his superior to solve it.
