The plot of this is quite childish and straightforward - you can guess how the story will be developed quite easy. Everything in film is exaggerated- feelings, personal emotions, cruelty, explosions. Of course it's impossible to speak about historical truth through the film's prism - it's all complete mess. There are multiple mistakes with geography, wear, usage of alphabet and so on. But it's even worse - this film leaves an impression, that the most humanistic combatants were Nazis. Two main heroes spent pleasant time in German Army with maximum comfort and most humanistic relationships between soldiers. My conclusion: it's quite weak compilation of clichės with a lot of factual errors and wrong misinterpretation of historical facts. Save your time, money and most important your brains from this rubbish stuff.

Underrated movie , had to watch it with subtitles but its a great film and I love it. In this movie we see the Koreans be with Japanese, Russian, and German army. Movie is full of action and you will get tired by the end cause its so long. This movie shows that there are evil officers in different armies and shows the perspective of Operation Overlord from the Germans point of view. This is the best war film I've seen. This movie was full of suspense and curiosity of what will happen next. The Koreans were all over Europe with a goal to get back home. Unbroken(2014) is similar to this film, because both of the Koreans that become friends, were rival runners. As this movie moves from perspective of Japanese to Russian to German, it is revealed that in war Everyone is guilty ( that is if you didn't know of that). I would give this movie a 10/10 but during some fight scenes and other action scene camera was shaky and it got me confused. Saving Private Ryan is know for their accurate remake of history, well My Way is way more realistic and accurate. No average soldier of any country is more evil than that soldier of another country.

There are less than 30 films that I give a 10/10 rating for. This film is one of them. I sat down and watched this film after school one day when I was bored on Netflix. I am usually up to date with foreign films and I was surprised how massively underrated this film is. Kang is able to weave historical fact into sheer excitement and energetic storytelling. How the story interconnects with itself and how it is able to create multiple perspectives of WWII dazzled me. I've seen all the war films from All Quiet to Saving Private and nothing compares to the uniqueness this film brings. The battle scenes are funded by a movie budget half the size of the usual Hollywood blockbusters and it looks millions of times better. The theme is a little cliché and corny but the way it is presented causes no hesitation to the cohesiveness and brilliance of the story. The cinematographer also does a phenomenal job of putting the viewer in each war zone and front that Jun-Shik and Tatsuo come across in a more realistic yet stylistic manner than almost all other war films. The contrast of colors for the dark time in the world powers the story's epic cinematography and storytelling. When it comes down to my personal loves in a movie, it capitalizes on the use of tons of different settings and places around the world, has a heroic character(s) that motivates and carries the narrative, and is able to bring the viewer into a stylized and idealistic world. If you love film and the immersion that it can bring,and if you find WWII an interesting topic, or love different cultures, this film is a must see!

I would start by comparing it to My Way. But I give you two reasons why this movie is better.1. It's not about two brothers, but about two rivals, coming from two very different nations, brought closer by the love for sport.2. Their journey seems to be more like a rite of passage.Let me tell you this. The psychological study of the characters reminded me in one episode of their journey of The Way Back. But My Way represents a step further. As the two main characters start off by being rival children, become mortal enemies and the brother-like friends, some of their friend become enemies. It reminds me of the equilibrium between Yin and Yang. It's constantly changing, fluid, but the two must always complete one another.This dynamism is present throughout the film and makes you so drawn to it, that you never seem to notice the passing of the time.All in all, it's truly magnificent.Arguably (one of) the best war movie ever.
