The story begins in the context of a large number of prisoners of war left behind by the U.S. military's defeat in the Philippines in World War II, and is an adaptation of a real event at that time. More than 500 American prisoners of war were held in a prisoner of war camp by the Japanese army. As the war went on, the Japanese army decided to cover up the fact that they brutally tortured and killed prisoners of war, and prepared for a "final solution". At this time, a US assault force also quietly touched them, trying to Rescue...
In terms of audio and video effects, it's just average, because it can't be called a big scene, and the battle process is relatively short, so what attracts me more is its story.
No one will be left behind, the American belief is fully emphasized in any foreign war. Even today, they are still looking for soldiers who disappeared in the Vietnam War and the Korean War. You have to admire them. The American-style "noble" spirit always has an inspiring effect. Perhaps this is the "main theme" of the United States.
The unfolding of the battle is composed of multiple parts, planning, reconnaissance, response, decision-making, and implementation, allowing you to experience the silent pressure step by step. Life and death turned out to be only such a thin line.
There is also a love story between a prisoner of war and a civilian woman. Although there is not much ink, it is quite touching. In the end, when all the prisoners of war were rescued, the major who contracted malaria also evacuated with everyone, and the woman worked hard. It was hard to come to the meeting place, the people have passed away, leaving a piece of love... At that time, there was a moment when I hoped that he and the others would meet eventually, but...
The story can't be considered very ups and downs, but it is clean It's neat, especially when I see the Japanese devils, I feel very addicted, hehe! That's probably one of the reasons why I like the movie.
Finally, let me say that the major of the US assault force in this film seems to be the captain who succeeded in catching shrimp after losing his lower limbs in "Forrest Gump".
