There are several things that I really have to make clear:
1) Zhang is once a great director who usually turned Chinese common people into larger-than-life memorable characters. But what he did and has been doing recently were those things completely to kiss the behind of the CCP. A director who totally lost his dignity as a faithful movie maker and sadly, pathetically turned himself into not just a mouthpiece, a henchman, but also a tool of CCP's propaganda tool, by using his skill and know-how to rewrite the Chinese and international history. Anything which was not cool or against Chinese Communist Party then and now are been thoroughly wiped or twisted to brainwash his own people and mind-twisting all of the foreign people. But should we or could we blame this old horse? No, guys, don't forget he and his folks are living under the control of CCP. The guy simply couldn't but do everything CCP required him to do for the Party.
2) When CCP decided to get involved in the Korean War, they never thought that war could be so tough, they just rushed into the Korean peninsula during the harsh winter without any proper logistic preparation and backup for winter battles. So what we saw in this fantasy at the very beginning that a small company of Chinese Liberation soldiers were equipped with machine-washed clean white camouflage shawls, successfully ambushed an American convoy and wiped them out, we immediately know that this movie is a miraculous fantasy.
2) There were many white supporting crowd who played the American G. I.s, so what can I say to them? These people were a bunch of shameless sold-outs who had no conscience, no morality, no guilt to participate in such history-rewriting made-up. Guess they needed the money rewarded to them for helping rewriting the Chinese history after 1949. I don't blame them at all, because Money always talks louder and clearer.
I'm terribly sorry for not liking this lying movie at all, even by Zhang's usual standard, especially after what I've seen how the CCP treating its own people during the pandemic time.
