Review by T-xoo

For most of the west, this movie seems like a propaganda. I wanted to check it for myself, the ending is indeed a propaganda against the west. But I believe that any victims of the west will feel the same as the Chinese if they can win a battle against the Americans. And this will hurt the pride of any Americans, even more pronounced if you support the right wing party(ies). Anyway, just don't watch the last 3-5 minutes and this movie is actually good.

First, the movie is super violent. If you cannot watch people being stabbed and body parts being exposed, this is not a movie for you. In addition, the battles are super long. I like movies about wars to learn history but the battles in this movie are dragging it.

Second, in no way this movie has shown that the Americans were barbaric or monsters. So don't get offended. It actually shows in some scenes that the soldiers just want to go home for the holidays and be with their families.

Finally, the movie is depicting soldiers as heroes, but from my point of view, there are only victims. The sons taken from the loved ones just to amuse a bunch of politicians who want to show off who has a bigger d*ck. It even says in the movie that MacArthur by winning the war he would be in advantage to be the next president. So in some parts, the movie really show us what wars are about.

I believe the movie are missing some parts, it explains very little of the reason of the war which was Korea. If you can get over your patriotism for the USA, then the movie is a good watch. I don't believe it also tells a good story but anyone can learn that this battle had happened and who were the actors.
