Description
----------------
On June 25th, 1950, the North Korean People's Army attacks the South with the blessing of the Soviet Union. Three days later the North Korean People's Army reaches Seoul and then occupies the rest of the county, with the exception of a small area south of the Nakdong River.
Vastly outnumbered by the North Korean People's Army, the South Korean Army enlists thousands of students who have never received military training. Most are immediately sent as reinforcements to the Young-deok battleground.
On August 11th, 1950, 71 boy soldiers of the South Korean army singlehandedly held back the elite North Korean 766 Commando Brigade for a full 11 hours. Most were still in their school uniforms and had only fired a single bullet in training! Their astonishing bravery under fire enabled allied forces to hold a strategic bridgehead at the Nakdong River and gain a tactical advantage that would help turn the tide of the entire war. This is their remarkable true story.
There are a number of large-scale battle scenes, some of which remind about other similarly themed films, such as Feng Xiaogang's Assembly, Kang Je-gyu's Tae Guk Gi: The Brotherhood of War, and Lu Chuan's City of Life and Death. The battle choreography and special effects are indeed very impressive.
There are numerous quiet, incredibly beautiful scenes in which Jang-beom and his men are seen contemplating the war, life and death. A few interesting subplots, one involving a fascinating rivalry between Jang-beom and a former prisoner, Kap-Jo, More Than Blue), add a different dimension to the story as well.
