| | Taegukgi hwinalrimyeo - Movie Review (Taegukgi, Brotherhood, Tae Guk Gi: The Brotherhood of War) |
 | | Near the beginning of 'Taegukgi', a soldier gravely wounded by a landmine goes mad in the army hospital, shooting the other patients around him before turning the gun on himself. |
 | | The red, blue and fl designs of the 'Taegukgi' represent male, female and earth respectively, and it is with earth that the film begins and ends - but not earth as a place of fertility and sustenance for a nation, but rather as a mass grave. |
 | | The most expensive South Korean film to date, 'Taegukgi' is set on an epic scale, with years of meticulous research ensuring that the political background is accurate, and with the vast sets and cast of over 25,000 extras bringing a brutal reality to the battle sequences. |
