QUESTION 2.
Throughout the film Ho-chang falls madly in love with his un-interested
female coach, adding to the comic relief. One day while headed to
practice the team is confronted by a group of Japanese soldiers, who claim
that their practice ground is a new Japanese training camp. To settle the
dispute one of the team members, Oh Dae-hyeon, who went to school in
Tokyo with the Japanese Officer, suggests a competitive game of baseball.
The game would not only settle the dispute, but it would also be a way for
the Koreans to establish themselves against Japan, and for the players to
further prove themselves to the skeptics of their town. Meanwhile, a more
serious dispute is going on between the Korean diplomats and the
revolutionary thinkers, over the signing of the Eulsa Treaty that officially
made Korea a protectorate of Japan. Coincidentally, Oh Dae-hyeon and
Min Jong-rim are members of the Anti-Eulsa League, an organization
formed in protest of the Five Eulsa Traitors, which one of their teammates,
Kwang-tae, father belongs to. Due to all of the suppressed tension, the
YMCA team loses to the Japanese, also losing their chance to dignify
themselves in the face of their suppressors. Devastated over the loss, the
team members decide to abandon baseball and return to more practical
roles in society. Ho-chang fulfills his fathers wish and takes over the
family school, despite his desires to become a great baseball player. In the
end, the team reunites for one final and quite dramatic rematch against
the Japanese. The Koreans victory in this rematch symbolizes their unity in
baseball, and their ability to come together despite the social and cultural
issues facing the changing country.
