The Forgotten War (2020)
As the second world war came to an end, the once colonized Korea was split at the 38th parallel by allied forces. Less than five years after the split North Korean forces led by Kim-Il-Sung invaded the south. The UN headed by the United States responded with the first ever police action to combat the invading North Korean forces. Thus the world was once again plunged into pinnacle conflict that would set the tone for the second half of the 20th century. The Korean war saw three years of heavy combat on the small Korean peninsula, ending in a stalemate and an armistice that still remains open today. The Forgotten War tells the story of this war from the veterans that were sent to fight it.

    You need to watch

    History is repeating itself. Here's a reminder of what happens if you let it. We're at the phase now, where you need to know what will happen if you let it.

    Hard to follow

    With dozens of awesome WWII movies to copy from, The Forgotten War somehow manages to completely lose this viewer's interest. The plot is incoherent and random nameless characters are just thrown in the first 30 minutes. You never gain emotional connection with anyone.

    I had more fun writing this review than watching it. Don't waste your time.

    History for the ignorant

    I assume this is targeted at teens or people who similarly don't yet know much about the world. It says nothing but the obvious (OMG, so obvious) over and over again. Can be skipped if you have in fact ever read a history of the 20th C.
