Things That We Shouldn't Do

Synopsis

Footage from the Vietnam War and 1970s military educational films sets the backdrop for a critical look at Korean military style. The documentary addresses the connection between macho aesthetics and militarism, while also condemning the actions of the Korean army during the war. It humorously critiques a Korean society that, in 2003, was supporting the deployment of troops to Iraq. The film combines sarcasm with historical context to question prevailing attitudes toward patriotism and violence.
