violence
Multiple people are shot, resulting in blood spurts and strong bloody aftermath detail. In a black-and-white flashback scene a man throws a prisoner to the floor and repeatedly stamps on him; the initial blows occur off screen, but we then see him stamp on the prisoner’s bloody hand. A kidnapped man fights back by headbutting, kicking, punching and biting his abductors. We also see a black-and-white still image of real bloodstains on the floor and furnishings of the room where Park Chung-hee was assassinated.
