GO is a Japanese drama in which a high school misfit navigates his identity and falls in love with a girl unaware of his Korean heritage.
violence
There is a close up shot of a blade lodged in a character's neck following a brief fight, resulting in bloody aftermath detail. In one sequence, a character attacks a foe by hitting him using an improvised weapon, resulting in a small blood spurt. Other moments include a severed finger displayed on a television at a nightclub.
A character beats up his son as punishment for delinquent behaviour. This is accompanied by bloody aftermath detail. There are visual allusions to a character physically assaulting his wife.
language
Occasional strong language occurs ('f**k'), as well as milder terms including 'pussy', ‘bastard’, 'asshole', 'bullshit', shit' ‘God’, ‘damn’ and 'hell'.
discrimination
The film explores xenophobia towards North Koreans as the protagonist faces discrimination on both a societal and personal level due to his heritage. This includes infrequent scenes of bullying, as well as discriminatory comments from the protagonist's love interest.
There is aggressive and directed use of an offensive term ('zainchi') towards a character of Korean heritage, with accompanying moderate violence.
additional issues
A brief, comic verbal reference is made to acquiring adult magazines. There is infrequent sexualised focus on the physical attributes of female characters. A group of teenage boys look at a billboard featuring colourful illustrations of topless models.
Infrequent scenes of dangerous behaviour includes a character jumping onto underground railway tracks as a train approaches. The activity is not made to appear harm-free and the behaviour is condemned.
There are verbal references to drug misuse. In one brief sequence, a teenage boy hallucinates after having taken a drug. Drug misuse is presented as aversive and results in negative consequences.
There are mild scenes of emotional upset and references to bereavement.
