1950 In the spring, on the eve of the Korean Civil War, Jin-tae (Zhang Dongjian) lived in an ordinary family in Seoul. After her mother and father died, she lived alone with her stepmother and her brother who was ill in bed all the year round. Zhentai goes to the streets to repair shoes every day and supports her family. After marrying his fiancee Ying Shun (Li Yinzhu), his greatest wish is to send his younger brother to college. My younger brother, Zhen Xi (Yuan Bin), is in high school. He is eager to be admitted to college, so that his brother, sister-in-law and stepmother can live a better life in the future.

Summer came and the war broke out on June 25th. In Seoul, where Kim Tae lives, there was no change at first, and I still went to the streets to repair shoes. However, the next day, my brother really came back from school with amazing news of the outbreak of war. Soon, the bell road in the street where they lived became tense, and the smell of war spread here. The bustling streets used to echo the horn and slogan of pre-war mobilization, and trucks full of soldiers roared past all day. ...

The strength of this film is unprecedented in Korean movies. It is not only the five-year masterpiece of Jiang Digui, a great Korean director who owns his own film company, but also the co-starring of two popular Korean male superstars, as well as a strong investment and production team.

Obviously, in addition to these super productions, "Flying Tai Chi Flag" has great ambitions. It not only depicts the most important war affecting Korean history, but also shows the brotherhood of ordinary people in the war, and also reproduces the disaster brought by the war to the people of North and South Korea. ...

In order to highlight the effect of the film in the civil war, photography director Hong Jinbiao adopted a shooting technique similar to Zhang Yimou's Hero, dividing the flying Taiji flag into four parts and shooting four battle scenes in the film in four ways. Only these big scenes are the turning point of the film. The first battle highlights the sense of the scene of the war in the form of a complete big scene, and quickly draws the audience into the environment of the movie war. The second battle was centered on Zhentai, and a large number of gun battles highlighted the truth and cruelty of the details; The third battle is the street fighting in Pyongyang, which highlights the disaster caused by the war by racing against those who bombed for their lives; The fourth scene is the highland conflict, which is purely a bitter plan and the picture is thrilling. ...

Unlike China's films, which like to take the common people's faults as the starting point, Korean films, whether comedies, burlesque, action dramas or love dramas, all show a strong national complex. "Flying the Tai Chi flag", the most important historical event of the Korean nation, has brought their national complex to the extreme. The description of the historical thickness and the reflection on the war are all condensed under the national complex. From the war scenes in the big scene to the emotional scenes in the details, the audience can undoubtedly feel this strongly, which is also a major emotional tone of the film.

Flying Tai Chi Flag follows the successful mode of Hollywood war movies, from the big emotional tone to the specific shooting and production, a large number of war scenes combined with touching human details, and the participation of 1/3 CG computer technology in the later period, which makes it enjoy audio-visual viewing as much as American movies.
