The Battle at Lake Changjin (2021)

Review by johnnyengram

The Battle at Lake Changjin

6/10

Another side of the story

Historical Facts: Who Wins What?

To the US/UN, the war started at Incheon landing and stopped at the 38th Parallel. They won.

To the Chinese, the war started at the US bombing Dandong/US troops advancing towards the Chinese border, stopped at the 38th Parallel. They won.

To the Koreans, the war ended where it started. There is no winner.

Plot: Mediocre.

The main plot is based on true events that occurred during the Korean War. Though it's not something the West audience has been taught/educated with. Some of the details are overly exaggerated (like the swarm of US attack planes and PVA soldiers) to hype the drama which is mostly criticized by the public.

Cinematics: Great The battle scenes are intense and chilling. Chinese Rambo indeed lol

Props and Costume: Good The cast crew did their homework.

Character & Lines: Poor. Especially for the US side. Typical Pokerface + Stereotype. Lots of room for improvement.

As for the anti-China hate reviews: you don't have to be a scholar to hate China. The hatred/discrimination is deep down their democratic & free vein.
