My Way

JULY, 1948, LONDON, ENGLAND

MARCH, 1928, KYUNG-SUNG, KOREA

Isn't the air nice, Tatsuo? You'll

get used to it here soon

I'm sure you'll make good friends here

It's Jun-shik!

I'm faster than a car!

Grandpa!

You show the signs of a great

Imperial soldier already

Welcome, my boy

How've you been, Father?

Greet them

He's the new, young master

Jun-shik Kim, sir

I'm Eun-soo Kim, sir

Great, Tatsuo. You have

a new friend your age

Tatsuo runs well. Like you.

My brother's the best runner

in Kyung-sung, sir

I'm the best in Tokyo

No match for a country boy

Wanna race me?

Ready

Go!

HASEGAWA TATSUO WINS NATIONAL

MARATHONS AGAIN!

KIM JUN-SHIK WINS!

Congratulations

Good job chasing behind me

Must be your damn lucky day

Let's applaud Hasegawa Tatsuo who won

the national high school marathon

and brought great honor

to Imperial Japan

Long live our Emperor!

Long live Imperial Japan!

This is my grandson, Tatsuo

You must be very proud

I expect a lot from you

It's a gift from the Japanese

Minister of Defense

Open it

Yes, sir

Give me that!

Get away!

Grandfather! Grandfather!

Father! Grandfather! Grandfather!

Do something! Father,

please! Do something!

You're a doctor who saves lives!

Why aren't you doing anything?

You killed him! No.

You killed him!

No

Bring my grandfather back!

Let go!

He didn't kill anyone!

You bastards killed him!

Jun-shik!

Bring my grandfather back!

No!

No! I didn't do it! Daddy! Daddy!

Jun-shik! Daddy!

Father!

Bring my grandfather back!

Father! Jun-shik

Let go!

Father! Father. Daddy... Daddy

Don't show your face around here again

Or I might kill you

Korea's hero, Ki-jung Sohn won

an Olympic gold medal! Rejoice!

MAY, 1938, KYUNG-SUNG, KOREA

Why do you have sandbags strapped on?

Are you a marathon runner?

Korea's luck in the marathon

stops with Ki-jung Sohn

A Korean man will never be

an Olympic victor again

Koreans are banned from Olympics 'cause

Sohn covered the Japanese flag?

If you were a bomb, I'd run straight

into the Athletics Association

Marathon running is a science demanding

concentration and fighting spirit

I'll prove it once and for

all at the Olympic tryouts

Can you go any faster?

You might regret it

I'll pay double if you

get there in 30 minutes

Triple for 20 minutes

Hold on tight

Your victory in the

tryouts is a given

What is your goal in the Olympics?

I'll win the gold and

set a new record

What a laugh

in honor of our great empire!

Look out!

Look out!

Let's go! Coming through!

To a marathon gold medal

at the Tokyo Olympics!

Cheers!

Cheers!

You're quite the runner

Here you are

Double would've been fine

Opportunities come to

those who don't give up

Jun-shik Kim

Jun-shik!

Are you okay?

Isn't that...

Are you all so happy

over half of a race?

I'm Ki-jung Sohn

Ki-jung Soho's in Japan

Wanna bet?

If I win, I get to marry your sister

Hurry

You say Japan and Korea are one

yet you ban Koreans from tryouts?

Are you claiming the Athletics

Association is unjust?

Your comment, Mr. Chairman?

The board has decided

If a Japanese runner will win

anyways, what's the problem?

It'll be boring for Hasegawa

without Jun-shik Kim

I think Jun-shik Kim shouldn't

be in the discussion

See!

Jun-shik Kim?

Jun-shik

Jun-shik Kim, what have you been up to?

What are your thoughts on

the ban on Korean runners?

Are you still training?

How much do you train each day?

Your comments, please

Mr. Hasegawa?

Are you confident you'll win

even if Jun-shik Kim enters?

You think he stands

a chance against me?

But aren't Jun-shik Kim's

records better than yours?

That was in the past

You think a mere rickshaw driver can

beat a well-trained marathoner?

If you could enter, are you confident

you can beat Hasegawa?

How good can a mere rickshaw driver be?

I'd be grateful just to enter the race

Here is your acceptance letter

from Berlin Medical University

Sign it

The marathon is more important

to me than my studies

This is the most important

period in your life

Focus on your studies

Our men are sacrificing their lives

to build a Greater East Asia

I don't want to be a coward

who runs away from war

War is futile

You are insulting Grandfather

Tatsuo, watch what you say

Think of the people

before your country

That's the way of a doctor

Then I must treat the Korean people

who killed my grandfather?

Even if it kills me, I'll never do that

The picture is missing from

the frame in my room

Jong-dae! Why you

Why would someone steal

a picture of all things?

It should be around somewhere

Anyway, I hope you can

enter the tryouts

Father will be so happy

Don't get your hopes up

Can't trust the Japs

Get more firewood. The fire's dying.

Please?

It's so pretty

How do I look?

Eun-soo

I think you're the prettiest

girl in all of Asia

OLYMPIC TRYOUTS ENTRY FORM

Please win and bring

hope to Korea again

I can really enter the race?

Show them how scary a mere

rickshaw driver can be!

Jun-shik

Listen carefully

The man in front of Jun-shik

is Ki-jung Sohn

Then, you must be holding the

Olympic tryouts entry form

If I'm right, hold it up high!

Yes!

Let me see!

Yes!

Sir! Sir!

Jun-shik!

Min-woo! Everyone!

Korea's best marathoner, Jun-shik

Kim, will run the marathon again!

Hurray for Jun-shik Kim!

Hurray!

Jun-shik Kim! Jun-shik Kim!

Get the rice cake kings

ate! Rice cakes here!

Here you are

Father picked it out himself

The best pair there is

Promise you'll win the race today?

Tatsuo

Your father will be here soon!

Look

Let's relieve all our Korean

folks' heartaches today!

Jun-shik Kim!

Runners to the starting line

Jun-shik Kim!

You can do it!

And they're off!

Tatsuo!

Go, Jun-shik

Tatsuo, go get 'em!

Hasegawa! Faster! Faster!

Jun-shik, you're half way there!

Don't mind Jun-shik Kim

Hasegawa! Spurt ahead!

Spurt ahead!

Hasegawa!

The runners will come into

the stadium any minute!

Why are you so late?

A surgery took long

What a tense moment!

There! The runners can be finally seen!

Who is the first runner coming

in? Who will it be?

As expected, it's Hasegawa

with Kimura behind him!

What? There's another runner!

It's Jun-shik Kim!

You can do it

Jun-shik

Jun-shik Kim!

Go, Jun-shik!

Kimura! Kimura!

Hey! What's that bastard doing!

Be careful Jun-shik! That bastard

Jun-shik!

Jun-shik!

Tatsuo!

Jun-shik!

Jun-shik! The rickshaw won!

Jun-shik Kim! Hurray!

Jun-shik Kim!

The last runner is coming in!

It's a dream come true!

The medals will be awarded soon

I knew you could do it!

Ladies and gentlemen, the results

will now be announced

The winner of All Japan Olympic

Marathon Tryouts is

Hasegawa Tatsuo!

Second is number 13, Ando!

Third is number 18, Kimura!

Will the three runners come

up to the victory stand?

Hasegawa, Ando, and Kimura. Please

come to the victory stand

Jun-shik Kim was first!

Jun-shik Kim!

Spectators, please calm

down and be seated

Jun-shik Kim has been disqualified
