Unexpectedly, it was really made into a pornographic film

"The Battle of Mingliang Sea" once again proves that although South Korea's crime film is a great success, its ability to control historical films still only stays at the level of "Dae Jang Geum".
I once laughed and talked with a friend that this is a Korean pornographic film, but I was still full of expectations in my heart. After all, it is historical truth that Yi Sun-sin defeated 330 Japanese fleets with 12 ships. Such a good theme, the true hero of the Korean nation, did not expect it to be made into a pornographic film.
The Mingliang Sea Battle was an ambush. Although only 130 of the 330 ships in the Japanese fleet are warships, there is a huge disparity of one to ten. In this case, if it is the ship-to-floor attack depicted in the film, or even a large-scale ship-to-board battle, it is impossible to win anyway. The true historical fact is that Yi Sun-sin's 12 ships are all tortoise-shell boats, and their bodies cannot be penetrated by iron shells, and they are mobile and flexible. They used angle of attack tactics to inflict mass destruction on Japanese ships. Is it true that only the melee with a bayonet to see the red is a hero?
The relationship between the characters in the whole film is unclear, the contradictions and conflicts are chaotic, and the emotions are simple and naive. It shouldn't be because Yi Sun-sin and President Konishi are the only ones in my accumulation of knowledge.
A few more abolitions-in the Imjin War, the Minglianghai battle was compared with the decisive Lulianghai battle six years later, like the relationship between the Huoshaoxinye and the Chibi decisive battle. The Battle of Luliang Sea was the result of the joint battle between Daming and the North Korean navy. Like another war fought on the same land 50 years ago, the image of the Chinese was deliberately erased. At this point, North and South Korea is absolutely unified.

    Mature industrial production + skilled film skills + strong national sentiment, it is understandable that it sells so well in Korea. The overall production far exceeds "Chibi".

    I have seen the box office appeal of this record-breaking film. The biggest advantage of the story of one of North Korea’s most famous national heroes is the low threshold, strong appeal, and a large audience. But for me as an outsider, it's too personal heroism, with a little more bugs. The characters are facialized, the protagonist has various undead auras, and the plot is bloody. Korean military education patriotic film.
