Le message est clair : Le parti communiste chinois et l’L’Armée populaire de libération ont investi 200 millions de USD dans un film dont le succès témoigne du soutien du peuple chinois pour son armée. Le film raconte une bataille de la guerre de Corée et le triomphe des Chinois sur les troupes yankees.

Former US marine here, loved this movie, kinda fun seeing how the Chinese depicted us in this film. I’m feeling extra villainous right now.
Je pense que l’intérêt du film s’arrête là. Dans un autre commentaire l’utilisateur sugarbeets nous rappelle la folie sanglante du général MacArthur.

A superb film with great producers and directors. The story should emphasize the lack of weapons and ammunitions in the PLA due to the treachery of Stalin ( USSR ) because they were not in friendly terms with China. Most of the military supply were from the captured or left behind munitions by the U.S., Japanese and the KMT Army at the end of WW2 and the subsequent Civil War when the KMT army loss and fled to Taiwan. During the Korean War, hundreds of thousands of PLA died due to lack of munition, food, medicines, cold exposure ( an unusually cold winter ),
Gen. MacArthur wanted to destroy China with 50+ Atomic Bombs ( wipe China off the map ) a very cruel strategy. Thank our MERCIFUL GOD , the U.N. strongly vote against it as well as President Truman. Finally, Gen. MacArthur was fired by the President for insubordination because he strongly insisted on using massive A-bomb attack to destroy the whole China including all the women & children. Only a MAD AND EVIL MAN can do such a thing. If MacArthur really carried out the 50+ Thermonuclear bombing , we don’t know what the after effects might be to the EARTH. One thing for sure is that Russia ( USSR ) will be affected and maybe MacArthur also planned to destroy RUSSIA AS WELL ! The Earth for sure will be affected and we don’t know to what extent. “MAYBE ANOTHER MASS EXTINCTION !” And this ignorant World considered the U.S. as a BENEVOLENT COUNTRY at the end of WW2. IT’S A MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD WORLD !
Nous connaissons les réalisateurs Chen Kaige, Tsui Hark et Dante Lam pour des oeuvres plus raffinées. Ici ils ont fait preuve d’un grand professionnalisme. Pourtant je trouve Dunkirk de Christopher Nolan plus touchant, mais je ne suis ni Chinois ni Américain.
