      The meaning of naval warfare


      A few days ago, I was fortunate enough to go to the cinema to watch the recently hit Korean movie "Ming Liang" with a group purchase of friends. After watching, in Children Gor's mind, the thoughts that aroused were far more than the movie itself—— Keyword: "Sea Battle".

      The word "sea battle" should have a complicated taste in the hearts of the people of China, Japan and South Korea. is love? is hate? pregnant? Are you sad? Because for these three countries, there is a major...

      epic epic

      I have been watching "Tokugawa Ieyasu" some time ago. It mentioned that Toyotomi Hideyoshi attacked North Korea, and used it as a springboard to conquer the Ming Kingdom. In the middle, a war was raised, saying that the Japanese navy was severely damaged, so the people in Japan rebelled. The war mood was high, and finally, Japan had to withdraw its troops from North Korea, ending the more than ten years of Korean war of aggression.

      It's Mingliang Sea Battle, it's patriotic feelings

      I must first say the first feeling after reading it, patriotic feelings, full of patriotic feelings, it is this full of patriotic feelings that makes me inexplicably have a lot of tears when I watch it, and then I still wonder why there My own tears are so strange, it looks like they are, but there are not so many tears.
      I must say that I didn't know who Yi Sun-shin was mentioned in the movie until it was released for a long time. The prison scene at the beginning of the movie gave me a...

      What domestic directors need: think more deeply

      One of the biggest differences between watching Korean movies and domestic movies is that the entire narrative process of Korean movies is a little bit more in-depth, straightforward, detailed, reasonable, more appropriate and true. In short, Korean movies are basically more than many domestic movies. After thinking a little more, it is more cinematic, delicate and focused.

      The film broke box office records in South Korea, but it is really just a film tailored for South Korean patriotism, and it is difficult to gain a huge sense of identity in other countries. The naval battle scene is really good, although a little messy, but the effect is very good. Many people praised Choi Min-sik's performance, but I thought it was just a mid-to-high level of his...

      Vortex ocean currents, sniper guns and bows and arrows, artillery swords, skulls and blood flying everywhere, tough guy Yi Sun-sin fights Samurai One Piece. The foreplay of the mainland version has been cut too much, and the relationship between the characters is a bit inexplicable. Fortunately, the various naval battle strategies are filmed with enough blood, and they are not annoying if they are fake. Choi Min-sik's acting...

    Behind the scenes gags

    The film mobilized 17 million movie viewers in South Korea, surpassing "Avatar" and set a record for Korean movie viewers over the years.
