While having seen many Hollywood True Historic event based movies, this was the first Korean movie that I have seen ever.
So Ji-Sub from "Oh My Venus" fame and Song Joong-ki from "Descendents of the Sun" fame, are the two actors who brought me to this point, leading to "The Battleship Island". And their performance has been really great. The direction is quite good, leaving very few logical loopholes and the movie captures your constant attention. While within Korea and Japan most of the people would be aware of such an incident, people like us truly have no idea about such events even happening.
And while it is a hair-raisingly tragic affair, I am thankful for making this movie available worldwide and enjoyed the narration and acting overall.
P.S. The child artist is amazing as well ! Kim Su-An.
A must watch for fans of either Korean Movies or the above mentioned actors!
