Hansan (2022)

Tactical and Stunning Movie

This movie did not have a dull moment in my opinion. Every scene, sequence was smooth and had meaning. What made the show really good was that this was a true historical story and a real character in Korean History. If you are Korean , or love Korean culture this is a must watch.

The main character and even the Japanese villain both had real passion that was felt behind the screen. This made the ending/climax 10x better. Really love it when brains and scenes in the movies have unexpected twists and plotting/thinking involved similar to psychological warfare.

Righteous Fighting Against the Unrighteous

I feel fortunate that I was able to watch it in theaters today. Initially, I watched it because of Ok Taec Yeon, but ultimately, I fell in love with it because of the visual effects, storytelling, acting, and music. When it comes out on DVD, I'll definitely buy it. I enjoy historical fiction, historical drama, and historical films, so if you're not a fan of them, I wouldn't recommend watching the film.

This film specifically focuses on Japan attacking Korea via the ocean. So it encompasses what happens when another country tries to fight back by using ships and what happens the war goes to land. The visual effects between the main actors (specifically the generals and admirals and the spies) are amazing going back and forth between the war in the ocean and the war on land. The director did an amazing job showcasing the tension between the two warring opponents. On top of that, the actors were fabulous, which added to the tension of the story. The music was incorporated beautifully into the film. The sounds of war, drums, horns, and ships crashing into each other and into rocks were just as amazing and it made me feel like I was there.

Overall, I think this film is a great addition to Director Kim's trilogy.
