I didn't know much about the specific insider of the Inchon landing. Now, when I look closely, the gap between the film and the facts is still quite large. For example, before the action, Washington sent a senior representative to Tokyo to communicate with MacArthur about the landing plan. Den Burg, probably referring to the CIA director Hoyt Vandenberg, but the director at this time was actually Roscoe Hillencott, who represented the Joint Staff Meeting at 5:30 p.m. on 8.23, and it was Schell Admiral Mann, General Collins, and Air Force Deputy Chief of Staff General Idwall Edwards, and on the naval side Admirals Arthur Redford, Turner Joy, and Doyle . However, the film's intention for Mai's selection of the location in Incheon is that he wants to build meritorious achievements and accumulate political capital for returning to China to run for president. This perspective is quite in line with many people's views. Of course, in the film, facing Vandenberg's questioning, Mai's answer is quite reasonable in the first half. He believes that instead of continuing to fight with the main force of the People's Army in the Busan defensive circle and causing great sacrifice, it is better to attack its weakness and cut off the supply of the People's Army. route. But the second half of the story is ridiculous. It is inexplicably necessary to help an unknown peninsula boy and save his country. This is very propaganda. It is simply a patriotic drama for Koreans. In the history, the chief who was actually responsible for the defense of Incheon failed to arrange defense well because of his dereliction of duty. In fact, there were no mine facilities in the Flying Fish Channel, but they did attack and seize Wolmido Island and light the lighthouse there, but it was not. Lee Jung-jae's special agent team is a U.S. Navy captain Eugene Clark and his action team, who is well versed in intelligence work. It is said that at the time, the South Korean military had difficulty even getting people to the front lines, let alone sending people behind enemy lines. A few weeks after the outbreak of the war, the intelligence of the Korean agents was suspended. Therefore, the heroic behavior of Lee Jung-jae's team in the film is purely a fictional YY by a Korean screenwriter, similar to the anti-Japanese drama of my country's shredding devils. The acting skills of the two leading actors, Li Zhengzai and Li Fanxiu, are not to be mentioned. Especially in the film, "Zhang Xuexu" pretended to be a North Korean officer and wanted to gain the trust of "Lin Guizhen". The confrontation between the two sides at the dinner table of the welcome party was very enjoyable. It is still Zhang, and even the supporting role of "Comrade Han Caishan" and her colleagues, everyone battles wits and courage, and the characters' complex psychology and character are very well portrayed. You can't pay attention to the details of this film, just treat it as a Korean patriotic political propaganda film mixed with personal heroism.
