About This DVD
Nearly five years after the release of his blockbuster hit Shiri hit theatres,
director Kang Je Gyu returns to the director's chair with Taegukgi, the
big-budget war epic that thrilled Korean audiences in 2004. Taking its title
from the South Korean flag, the film details the story of two brothers who find
themselves swept up by the tide of war. Believing that the future of the family
lies with his younger sibling, simple cobbler Lee Jin Tae (Jang Dong Gun) works
out a deal with his superior officer: if he wins the Medal of Honor, his brother
Jin Seok (Won Bin) gets sent home. But in order to take home the medal, he
begins volunteering for increasingly dangerous missions, much to the confusion
of his younger brother. Even worse, Jin Tae's noble aim soon corrupts him, as he
begins loving the idea of playing the hero a little too much.
Eventually, his promotion to sergeant, the parties thrown in his honor, and the
interviews with the media seem to go to Jin Tae's head. And as a result of this
newfound fame, he starts to exhibit an apparent lack of regard for the fiancee
(the late Lee Eun Joo) he left back home. This change in behavior causes a rift
between the brothers, one that will have dramatic consequences for both their
lives as history's "Forgotten War" heats up. Shot in a style that is strongly
reminiscent of Saving Private Ryan and Band of Brothers, Taegukgi goes to great
lengths to show the horrors of war in graphic fashion in telling its tale of two
warring ideologies and the common people destroyed by it!
