This film is rated R, so as teachers, we would definitely need to get permission slips for students to be able to watch this film due to some of the bloody, gory, and graphic war scenes, and some foul language. The film starts and ends with an older Jin Seok looking at the remains of his brother, and he questions himself why he did not stay with his injured brother the last time he saw him on the battlefield. Jin Seok talks to his brother a few times to confront him about his aggressive changes, but alas, does not change his war mania mentality. However, as Jin Tae becomes one of the most successful military soldiers, his persona and mentality change to the worse, so much that Jin Seok and other soldiers do not even know who he is anymore. Jin Tae even goes as far as to make a deal with the general to fight in the more difficult and riskier battles so that his brother Jin Seok is safe (as well as tries to earn a medal for his work in the battles). Throughout the film, Jin Tae looks after his younger brother Jin Seok, and does everything he can to make sure he doesn't get killed in battle and wants the best for his younger brother, like for him to attend college since he never did. This film centers around the heart of the Korean War, and tells the story of two brothers, Jin Tae and Jin Seok, who are refugees in South Korea but get drafted to fight in the war against North Korea. The film Tae Guk Gi: The Brotherhood of War is a great Korean film directed by Kang Je-gyu.
