These Carbines have the 30 round magazines issued after WWII, but are still M1 Carbines, not M2 Carbines, since they lack the selector switch. This scene in this film depicts some vigilantes driven by this paranoia using M1 Carbines to execute suspected communist sympathizers/collaborators in Seoul. During the chaos of the Korean War, paranoia about communism in then-right-wing South Korea motivated several massacres of civilians suspected of communist support, all without trial, and in some cases still without official recognition from the South Korean government. Uniformed South Korean militants fire their M1 Carbines at fleeing civilians suspected to be communist sympathizers/collaborators. forces in WWII, the Colt was the main sidearm of the American-supplied South Korean forces, both historically and in the film. The Colt M1911A1 is the standard-issue handgun for the South Korean ROK Army officers and NCOs, mostly being the sidearm of Sergeant Huh (Kil-Kang Ahn) and briefly wielded after taking the pistol from ROK militia officers by Private Jin-seok Lee ( Bin Won), Sergeant Jin-tae Lee ( Dong-gun Jang) and a North Korean prisoner during the mass retreat.
The following weapons were used in the film Tae Guk Gi: The Brotherhood of War: Horrified at the realization that Jin-tae no longer fights to help their family, but fights because he enjoys killing, the increasingly chaotic tides of war will challenge both the relationship between the brothers and their relationship to their country.
However, upon winning the Medal, the younger brother Jin-seok Lee ( Bin Won) refuses to return home.
The older brother Jin-tae Lee ( Dong-gun Jang) volunteers for all of the dangerous missions he can get, committed to win the Korean equivalent of the Medal of Honor (a loophole in Korean Military rules allowed a winner of such a medal to send his siblings home). Two brothers are tricked into 'enlisting' by boarding the wrong railroad car and are not allowed to return home to take care of their family. The story, told in retrospective from a Korean War veteran, follows the experiences of two brothers who survived World War II and the waning years of the Japanese occupation of Korea, only to be plunged into the madness and chaos of the Korean War (1950-1953). In Asian cinema, this title was widely seen as South Korea's own Saving Private Ryan reflecting the pain and anguish of the Korean people, but also showcasing epic Korean War battle sequences, bringing attention to what has long been deemed "The Forgotten War" outside of the Korean Peninsula. It was a bestseller in Korea and a moderate performer overseas, becoming one of the highest-selling South Korean films of all time. Tae Guk Gi: The Brotherhood of War (also known under the British title Brotherhood) is a 2004 epic Korean War film, directed by South Korean director Je-gyu Kang.
