no just war

I think the name "Taichi Flag Flying" is not as good as "Brotherhood in War", although it seems that the domestic translation of the name is the former. I don't think the director has too many intentions about the flying of the Tai Chi flag, it's about brotherhood throughout.
It turns out that South Korea has been able to shoot such an atmospheric war film. Not only is the scene grand and the details handled properly, but the film is not only a visual impact, but also allows people to think about it aftertaste.

We all grew up listening to Qiu Shaoyun's story, and we used to think that resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea was a matter of course. Only after watching the film did I realize that the war was initially provoked by North Korea.

Is there a just war in this world? What is the reason for all the killings throughout the ages? Politics is such an insidious thing, and for the sake of someone or someone, the common people have to be mercenaries. Whether people live rich or poor, war only displaces people and destroys their homes.
When North Korea goes to war, Jintae and his younger brother Jinseok are forced to join the army, leaving their fiancée to take care of the mumbling mother and a group of underage children. In order to protect his younger brother, Zhenta went forward bravely, hoping to get a medal in exchange for his brother's freedom to go home. He was ruthless in the face of the enemy, and he believed that all the communist troops were murdering the people, and only bullets were given to the prisoners. Once, their friend Rong Shih in Seoul was found among the surrendering soldiers. Rong Shih said that he was forcibly enlisted by North Korea and that he had never done anything to kill people, but Zhenta was indifferent to his pleas, as long as it was a communist party. The army is his enemy. Zhenxi rescued Rongshik, and he felt that his brother was becoming more and more strange.
Zhentai never misses any opportunity to make merit, even if someone pays for it with their lives. Finally, he received the long-awaited medal. The commander promised to report to his brother Jinxi to be discharged from the army.
Zhentai and his younger brother went back to visit their family on the way, and happened to meet Zhentai's fiancée who was taken away as the Communist Party. At the moment when the execution was about to be executed, Zhenta and Zhenxi clashed with the executioners. However, they still failed to save their fiancée. She closed her eyes regretfully in Zhenta's arms. Zhenta and her younger brother were imprisoned. .
The new chief angrily scolded Zhenta for not thinking that he could do whatever he wanted with the medal. Zhenta asked him to fulfill his promise to let his younger brother go home. The new chief ignored this and issued an order to set fire to the detainees. When Zhenta arrived at the prison, he saw only the charred pen he had given to his younger brother, thinking that his younger brother had been burned to death. The ground fell and a large number of Han troops were captured. Zhentai saw the new commander among the prisoners and killed him. He surrendered to the communist army and became the leader of the communist army.
It turned out that Zhenxi was rescued by others and was not burned to death. When he learned that his brother had surrendered, he risked his life to break into the enemy camp to prove to his brother that he was still alive. During the melee, Zhenxi finally found his brother, and Zhentai had already killed and killed to get carried away, hating every Korean soldier, he could not recognize Zhenxi, and kept attacking him until Zhentai was injured, only to find out that his beloved brother was actually in front of you. He asked Zhenxi to go quickly, promising that he would find him, and then, with the only remaining strength, he aimed the submachine gun at the communist army again.

I think, this is the truth of the Korean War, brothers, friends can also kill each other, there is no real enemy, only the ruler makes people lose their way.

Although as a Korean film, it is inevitable to have a political leaning, but I don't think the director praised either side of the battle. The communist army killed the villagers, but didn't the Han army kill innocent people by mistake? Movies are not about who is right, but about how dirty war is! ! !

The clever director weakened the conflict between the Han army and my volunteer army, and there is only one shot of the volunteer army charging. What does the 100,000 troops support North Korea mean to the North Korean people? When time goes on, and goes on, there will be a fairer interpretation of this history.
