For Chinese audiences, it is hard to hide their disappointment after watching "Ming Liang Sea Battle". To be honest, this movie is really not a masterpiece of war, it can only be regarded as a serious and serious war movie. The reason why it achieved a box office miracle in South Korea is, on the one hand, because the national sentiment of the Koreans has been ignited (after all, this is a big victory with less wins), and on the other hand, it is also related to President Park Geun-hye watching and publicly supporting the film.
In 2011, the costume war action film "The Last Weapon: Bow" directed by Jin Hanmin won the annual box office championship in South Korea. "Ming Liang Sea Battle" is another blockbuster war action film by Jin Hanmin after "The Last Weapon: Bow". The director himself is very fond of war films. "The Ultimate Weapon: Bow" tells the resistance of small people, and "Ming Liang Sea Battle" is the resistance of big heroes. In the final analysis, Jin Hanmin follows the ideology of Hollywood movies in his own films, combines the righteousness of the family and the country with individual heroes, does not believe in the power of the collective, but deliberately creates a colorful chapter of individual heroes.
According to the introduction to the story of "The Battle of Mingliang Sea", the Koreans, under the leadership of Yi Sun-sin, fought more than 300 Japanese warships with 12 panoks and finally won. Not really! To be precise, it was the famous general Yi Sun-sin who led a large ship to fight against 300 enemy warships. Not to mention, whether the story of Yi Sun-sin in history is exaggerated. Judging from the story of "Ming Liang Sea Battle", it's really hard to believe. During the viewing of the movie, I couldn't help but sigh that Yi Sun-sin is really like a god, and this is definitely not something that can be manipulated by human beings. A credible point in the movie is that his generals felt that this was an unwinnable battle. Therefore, when Yi Sun-sin's general ship fought the enemy to the death in the whirlpool, the other generals watched on the sidelines and did not come. To help him, objectively speaking, this is in line with the logic of human nature. Another death point of director Kim Hanmin is that he likes to turn a battle with tens of thousands of casualties down to a personal battle in the end. "The Ultimate Weapon: Bow" shows the Manchu general's siege and interception of a North Korean archer named Nan Yi, and the two finally staged a peak duel. The exaggerated Japanese general in "Ming Liang Sea Battle" also "hatred" Yi Sun-shin, as if the so-called national righteousness was not as good as destroying him. Overall, a 61-minute naval battle that looked like a dynamism was hardly a heroic one. A lot of sensational slow motion makes people look boring. The handling of the turning point of the war also made the audience feel "wonderful". It seems that all North Koreans have clairvoyance. Standing on the shore, they can see everything that happened during the naval battle and can read their lips, which is simply a fantasy.
Although "Ming Liang Sea Battle" is not an excellent naval battle film, but looking back and thinking about it, the Koreans can shoot the naval battle with the Japanese to this level, and it is also a history of the naval battle with the Japanese. What we came up with is "1894 • Jiawu Sea Battle". As soon as I made a comparison, I immediately felt the sense of shutting my mouth and bowing my head. I was so ashamed to take back the above complaints about "Ming Liang Hai Battle"!
