    worth seeing

    In 2022 Spring Festival,it is most favored by Chinese film lovers.

    In addition,Zhang Yimou's daughter Zhang Mo is the Mo meaning "FINALLY",not the Morning meaning "SILENT" by Google Translation.

    Good production but followed the trend

    So many films about Korean war came out recent years. This film shows a good quality of storytelling and cinematography but inevitably inserted a lot emotional scenes trying to convince every audience. The film told audience how cruel the war was and the difficulties the Chinese soldiers were facing. Although some would say this is a film of propaganda, its story is based on real facts and it was targeted Chinese audience. Also, there is no protagonist in this kind of film, so details of every character's mental description would be lost.

    fake story

    Not only the story is not real, but also not even possible. I didn't understand why Zhang Yimong would go this low and direct such a movie until I saw his daughter's name at the end. Very disappointed. Don't waste your time!

    Hidden messages

    Actually this is new to me to see that the Chinese have started making war movies against the Americans ,although the movie is about the Korean War back in the 50s ,however,it tells us what is going on in China ,specially this movie is 2022 production.

    I did not like what is behind the movie ,it seems that it has a very political messages for the fans .

    The glorious PLA wins against the evil US

    Just a bunch of propagandist bs about how PLA were such a nice guys and US forces were evil murdering child kidnappers. Watching this is a waste of time imho.
