[edit] Original Title

Don't know how much this matters, but the original title is listed as Taegeukgi Hwinallimyeo here, yet on iMdb it's listed as Taegukgi hwinalrimyeo - slight diff in spelling. Gram 13:50, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

-It's interchangable. R's and L's are pretty much the same in Korean. Thus it can really go either way.

[edit] Mistake

It seems that there had been an error in the sypnosis. Jin-tae didn't join the North Korean but was captured and was had already went crazy at the time. I've edited that portion. -- HistoryManiac

I think its is not very clear in the film weather he was captured or if he joined voluntarily. To me, it looks like he is wearing either POW clothes or a very dirty North Korean jacket that he must have been issued by the anti-communist officers when he was arrested. But you're right, he was going crazy at the time so it open to interpretation. --eelwerdna 6 July 2006

Even with the confused plotting, it is clear that Jin-tae really did join the North Koreans heart and broken soul. Until of course his brother is in trouble then he changes sides yet again. The movie from the point that Young-shin was taken as a "communist" a bunch of plot holes one could drive a whole war through. Early one in the movie I was engrossed, but the ending utterly broke my suspension of disbelief. MichaelSH 01:21, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Plot or Synopsis?

What are we calling the plot section? Is it still called Plot, or have we moved on to using Synopsis? I seem to remember a discussion on the WP Film pages somewhere, but I can't find it and can't remember the consensus. Geoff B 22:31, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

I thnk it should be all plot not synopsis Geoff. Golum4ever

I've seen both plot and synopsis being used in movie articles. Both are fine, but it seems plot is preferred.enderminh 20:54, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup

I think we should leave some of the stuff where it is for now until someone can fix everything but whoever added some of the stuff is kind of contributing to the article. Golum4ever

I saw the clean-up request a while ago, and significantly cleaned up this article by copy-editing a lot. See this change. In that change, I also removed the clean-up request, because I thought that it's cleaned-up now, but HanzoHattori has put back the cleanup stub. Does this article need further clean-up? enderminh 20:57, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Taegukgi movie.jpg

Image:Taegukgi movie.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
