La bataille du lac Changjin

Bon film !

This one too much abeg

I highly recommend this film for those who are stress at work, have family pressures, or experience traumatic event that keep you from falling asleep. This is the cure. Millions of people with sleeping disorders have benefit from watching this film.

What an amazing cinematic experience! I don't want to spoil it for people, so I'd just say that it's an incredibly well made movie depicting the bitter cost of war intermingled with the heroism exhibited by the people involved. Check it out, you won't regret it.

So this movie is a huge box success, approaching over $1B in revenue. It depicts a pivotal battle in the Korean war; a war between the United nations and communist China and North-Korea. A war that North-Korea started and if it had lost it North-Korea would've have been no more and you'd have a united western Korea. Now this context matters to me when I watch this movie. North-Korea is a failed state and a terrible place to live. How can I root for the Chinese forces when the end-result of their victory is so bad? They didn't just die for nothing, their death was actively bad for the world. Now cinematically this movie isn't too great either. The story telling is predictable with a cartoonishly portrayed evil enemy. The CGI is really underwhelming, especially considering the budget. It's just modern day propaganda, I just wish China had picked something else to be proud of.

Please update to English version

This garbage movie glorifies Chinese invasion of Korea which destabilized the region for several decades. North Korea suffering under a despot, Chinese citizens are suffering under CCP. The next garbage sequel will likely glorify Uighur concerntration camps and organ harvesting.

I knew the war was rough, but didn't feel the roughness until I saw the movie. So many good men died in protecting the border, and buried far away from their home. Their Chinese soldiers' equipment is so poor compared with the US army, a sensible man would not engage in a fight like this, but they did, they knew it better than anyone but had to fight the war .

Nice Storyline, excellent cinematography, mind blowing background music, heavy action & war scenes, perfect colour grading & shooting set design, costume design etc makes this film extra-ordinary. Though It's a Chinese propaganda, It's a patriotic film & quite enjoyable also. I enjoyed the whole time & didn't get bored for a moment indeed.

I don't actually like heroic main theme movies, but I pay for them every time because I should support movies in my own country . This film showed a stereotype of American troops as moronic and evil, with lots of fighter aircraft, - bombs, submachine guns as well as advanced weapons. Although we had nothing, we still won by our great adrenaline. I don't believe that. It's hard to convince me. But Ilike it's stunning effects. Chen Kaige made progress again. Anyway, I respect this history , I respect every soldier who died in the war, whether they were eating turkeys or frozen potatoes, they also had a family.
