The northern side backed by communist ideology, while the southern side by the capitalist. After the conclusion of the civil war, a state of tension emerged in the border area, which dominated the relationship for several decades. Precisely, the Joint Security Area film (Park Chan Wook, 2000) presents this confrontation through the friendship of four soldiers, two from the South and two from the North. Circumstantially, they build a friendship that is truncated by the ideological hatreds that frame their respective countries. The intermediation of the United Nations Organization depicted by an official with Korean roots, draws more ideological conflict, because she discovers the truth of the event that was about to cause a war between the Koreas, but at the same time, reveals the ideological rivalry that persists in the peninsula. Director Park emphasizes that obstacles to unification persist. However, with the final scenes, where he shows the friends smiling, the filmmaker ponders the hope of a change in the relationship of the two Koreas. La guerra de Corea entre 1950 y 1953 dio como resultado la creación de una frontera que separó en dos partes la península coreana: Norte y Sur. El lado norteño respaldado por la ideología comunista, mientras que el sureño por la capitalista. A partir de la conclusión de la guerra civil se activó en el área fronteriza un estado de tensión, mismo que dominó la relación por varias décadas. Precisamente, la película Área de seguridad conjunta de Park Chan-Wook, presenta dicho enfrentamiento por medio de la amistad de cuatro soldados, dos del Sur y dos del Norte. Encontrados de manera circunstancial, construyen una amistad que se ve truncada por los odios ideológicos que enmarcan sus respectivos países. La intermediación de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas2 a través de una funcionaria con raíces coreanas, dibuja más el conflicto ideológico, descubre la verdad del suceso que estuvo a punto de provocar una guerra entre las Coreas, pero al mismo tiempo, devela la rivalidad ideológica que persiste en la península. Al tener este desenlace la trama cinematográfica, el director Park enfatiza que persisten trabas para la unificación. Sin embargo, con las escenas finales, donde muestra a los amigos sonriendo, el cineasta pondera la esperanza de un cambio en la relación de las dos Coreas.
