A movie that deals with colonial issues, even
though it takes place in the future, is 
"2008 endless memories" (I believe this is the title).
It starts with An's failure to assassinate Ito Hirobumi and
imagines how Seoul (scenes taken from Shinjuku, Tokyo I believe)
would be under Japanese rule in the year 2008.  A lot of
discussion on the history of Japanese rule.  In the end
the hero (I forget his name but he starts as a member of the Japanese
police force before he joins the underground anti-Japanese
movement) goes back in time to make sure that An completes his
job.
