Review: One of the Best Films About the Korean War - "Tae Guk Gi" centers around the story of two close-knit brothers who are conscripted into the South Korean army at the start of the Korean War. After enduring numerous battles and personal hardships that severely strain their relationship, the brothers find themselves on opposite sides of a battlefield, and are forced to fight each other, as well as the enemy, in order to survive. Although "Tae Guk Gi" has often been compared to "Saving Private Ryan," its storyline also contains elements of "Flags of our Fathers" (issues surrounding the "war hero") and "Letters from Iwo Jima" (intensely close-up and personal nature of combat). The most memorable scene of this film, however, was when the brothers were literally torn from their family, dragged onto a train, and sent to the front. No draft card or induction ceremony (and we dont see the brothers going through basic training). I think this blending of civilian and soldier distinguishes "Tae Guk Gi" from most American war movies, where a clear break exists between a soldier's civilian and military life. Perhaps the closest resemblance to this blending in America occurred during the first year of the Civil War, when Northern farmboys and factory workers were hastily given a uniform and rifle, organized into regiments, and sent down to Virginia to fight Confederates (this first group was pretty much all volunteers, however). Like many (recent) American war movies, "Tae Guk Gi" portrays the chaotic, gory, and deeply personal nature of war, experiences that those of us who've never been in combat will never really know. But it also dramatically illustrates the blurring between civilian and soldier that frequently occurs during war. General William Tecumseh Sherman was ultimately referring to this blurred boundary when he said that "War is Hell." General Robert E. Lee's equally profound statement, however, perhaps better sums up the powerful emotional appeal of this film: "It is well that war is so terrible -- lest we should grow too fond of it." ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001CZJOXQ | | Actors | Jang Dong-Gun, Lee Eun-Joo, Won Bin | | Best Sellers Rank | #363,120 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #1,003 in Military & War (Movies & TV) #15,855 in Drama Blu-ray Discs | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (603) | | Director | Kang Je-Gyu | | MPAA rating | R (Restricted) | | Media Format | Blu-ray, Dolby, Import, Multiple Formats, NTSC, Subtitled | | Number of discs | 1 | | Package Dimensions | 7.1 x 5.42 x 0.58 inches; 3 ounces | | Release date | September 9, 2008 | | Run time | 2 hours and 31 minutes | | Studio | BMG/Arista | | Subtitles: | English | ## Product Details - **Contributor:** Jang Dong-Gun, Kang Je-Gyu, Lee Eun-Joo, Won Bin - **Format:** Blu-ray, Dolby, Import, Multiple Formats, NTSC, Subtitled - **Genre:** Drama, Military & War - **Language:** Korean - **Runtime:** 2 hours and 31 minutes ## Images ![Tae Guk Gi - The Brotherhood of War [Blu-ray] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/919dAtVGrtL.jpg) ![Tae Guk Gi - The Brotherhood of War [Blu-ray] - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91EbKSVxQFL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality good movie *by H***R on September 21, 2025* Good movie.

I've seen so many movies about American Civil War, and I'm kinda tired of it. I'm not saying they are bad, but the movies don't go with fast pace. They have great story lines, but they are so typical since they are only based on true people. But with this movie, you never get bored. It's a fiction, of course, but it's bloody-realistic, and it shows how awful and sad war(any wars!) is. I might feel that way because I'm Korean, and I know about the war. But the movie truly is good. A lot of American people think Korea has bad movie production, but you know what? We DO NOT. I really think Korean movies deal with more interesting stories and synopsises.(Of course there are some bad movies just like America does.) I can promise you that you will not be dissapointed. You will like it. For American people, I recommend you to watch the movie with ampathy and think that the war happened in America. Then you will enjoy the movie more; well, at least that's what I do when I watch movies about American History. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/100444620-tae-guk-gi-the-brotherhood-of-war-blu-ray](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/100444620-tae-guk-gi-the-brotherhood-of-war-blu-ray) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-06*
