71 Into the Fire Korean Movie Dvd English Sub Ntsc All Region Code (Based on a True Story) Kwon Sang Woo

This movie is a must see. It is based on the true story of 71 student soldiers who in 1950 were left on a corner of the Pusan Perimeter to slow the DPRK advance. People must realize it is a movie and it is not going to be 100% historically accurate. I personally was picking out equipment inaccuracies in the movie, like using M-4 Shermans and M-48 Pattons for T-34s. I also saw a couple rubber M-1 Garands get into the scene that should have been in the background, minor issue that most would not catch. I thought the acting was good and the story kept you drawn in. This is right up there with Tae Guk Gi. For those complaining about the blood and explosions... this is a war movie not a dramatic comedy. The koreans always seem to budget plenty of money for blood and gore in their movies. Definitely more realistic than what you see in most movies out of Hollywood. If you watch the credits you see some of the interviews with the real life survivors of this battle. I would love to see a documentary done about the real battle with interviews and tours of the real battlefield.

This ranks in my top 5 favorite movies. I watch it and then try to find a bigger screen to watch it on. Then watch it again to repeat the process. What really makes this movie, is that it does not hold back. This is war. It is brutal. You can almost see the rounds flying across the screen. It is not Hollywood where they fire a mortar and there is an explosion somewhere else. Here they fire a mortar, you see it travel, then hit and explode. The guns sound like the firearm it was shot from. It is worth watching. I paid $19.99 for it and not disappointed by any means. The draw backs are: on a computer I had no trouble but on a DVD player it locks up in the opening and keeps wanting to go back to the previews. You also have to set up for English captions. Spoiler Alert: The movie implies that there are few if any survivors, but historically there were.

Very good movie showing the sacrifices made by the Korean people young and old to save the democracy from the communists of the north. Both sides suffered horribly for so many years right from the Japanese takeover in 1910 to the end of the Korean War in 1953. The movie shows the courage of young students that were recruited to fight as soldiers for the south against their northern counterparts. Good to watch for historical reasons.

Great movie one of the better war movies out there highly recommend, however half of the special features on the disc did not work at all. I would have liked to watch the making of it but oh well. Great movie none the less.5 stars for the movie itself3 stars for half the special features not working.Total: 4 stars

This is one slam dunk war film! It's about a group of South Korean students who are soldiers, who are left to defend the town by a girls school. They have to deal with their own insecurities and fears while still learning combat tactics. Plus a huge army of communist regulars are advancing on the town to "take no prisoners." The acting is good and the battle scenes are outstanding. The film is in Korean language but does have English subtitles. Funny cause it must have been censored, cause they translate "Son of a Witch" and "DARN" instead of the curse words. I enjoyed the film and did get involved because it was based on an actual real incident.

I'm a big fan of T.O.P (Choi Seung Hyun) and his performance was honestly really great, especially for someone who had only been cast in relatively small television parts and music videos previous to this.That being said, the film has elements that make it feel very much like an instant classic, but it is not without flaws in its execution. For example, Cha Seung Won's character is a little too evil and a little too stoic, to the point of feeling a little bit 2-D.As a whole, however, the story is extremely entertaining and emotionally resonant. It absolutely feels like a blockbuster as opposed to something more artsy or gritty but is there really so much wrong with that?I am not one to watch a war movie once, let alone re-watch it repeatedly, but I can do that with 71: Into the Fire.
