Fence

About This Movie

Fence is a fascinating deep dive into the transformation of Ikego village. It starts as this serene agricultural community, you know, before the war, where life seemed pretty idyllic. Then, the Imperial Navy swoops in, and everything shifts as they build the largest ammunition preserve in Asia. It’s interesting to see how the landscape changes with the arrival of the US Navy post-war, as the village evolves into military housing. The pacing is reflective, allowing you to soak in the gravity of these shifts. There’s something haunting about the juxtaposition of peaceful life being replaced by military presence. It kind of lingers in your mind, making you think about the impacts of war on everyday lives and communities.
