Movie Discussion: The Eight Hundred and The Battle at Lake Changjin 影评:八佰和长津湖
Manage episode 342880930 series 2855919
In this episode we compare and contrast two modern Chinese Blockbusters.
The 800, telling the tale of a doomed Chinese Battalion in the last ditch defense of Shanghai, was plagued by delays, censorship, and CCP meddling.
The Battle of Lake Changjin on the other hand, was a top down propaganda piece about the Korean War ordered to be ready for the 100th anniversary of the Chinese Communist Party.
Both movies were extremely successful commercially, and are interesting in their own way. However if you're just going to watch one... it should be the 800.
