Superb Movie-"My Way"
This is by far one of the absolute fantastic movies I have ever seen. I've watched many, many war movies but this one is rated R truly for a reason. It is based on actual events and as I watched this while knowing that my heart truly was moved with sorrow, sympathy, and empathy for the people who endured the actions at that time. The acting is superb The audio and video as very good. You have to go to Setup if you want it in English, instead of reading captions. It is definitely not about American. It is a Korean young man and a Japanese young man. I could not give this movie any less than 5 stars. I'm not even finished watching it yet and I was compelled to come here and write a review. I am going to lend this to others to watch. If you like action, this is for you. Never a dull moment, so far. ... show more

Based on actual events
I have been a big war movie for years, and my DVD collection is living proof of that. This movie I had heard of before but I finally got around buying it for said collection...and I am glad I did. Starting to be a big fan of South Korean production war movies. In a way better than what Hollywood shuffles out the door, for we can't be too political or show nazi symbols, or can't forget the constant African-Americans contributions of wars anymore either. But My Way is top notch in my book...but if you don't like reading sub-titles, then move on to something else I say. ... show more

Very moving!
I had read long ago about a few Asians being conscripted into the German army just in time to see plenty of action at Normandy, but I never imagined a movie would be made about two of them in particular! This movie is very battle-packed! It shows a Korean man named Jun-shik who dreams about being able to go to the Olympics, but Japan won't allow any representatives from a country that they have annexed many years earlier and the man is cheated out of his chance when he wins the tryouts and Japanese judges instead claim the winner to be Japan's representative, a man named Tatsuo who Jun-shik had competed with quite a few times since childhood and are rivals. The results of the judgment force Jun-shik and several of his friends into conscription as lowly soldiers in the Imperial Japanese Army. Koreans serving as soldiers for the emperor are looked down upon as even worse than a Japanese private. Jun-shik finds this out the hard way up into the summer of 1939 when they are fighting Russian troops over a border dispute in the regions of Mongolia, the war of which is mostly unknown to most people today and only lasted a couple of months. The present colonel of Jun-shik's unit is punished for allowing his regiment to fall back in a bloody battle and is demoted to private and forced to kill himself to regain his honor. The new colonel is...VOILA!!! Tatsuo himself, the one and only! Tatsuo regards Jun-shik with resentment from the start and tries to have him imprisoned for execution when Jun-shik objects to being part of a suicide unit to battle Russian tanks in the next battle. The Korean finds himself lucky when he is rescued before the scheduled dawn execution by members of his own squad. They go to escape but run into the assault force of at least a hundred incoming Russian tanks. Jun-shik goes to warn the other members of the regiment about this attack but cannot prevent the bloodshed that follows. The battle scenes in here were excellent. You see Japanese troops take on Russian tanks by ramming trucks right into them. Hundreds of Japanese soldiers die in this battle and just when it seems like the Russian tank force cannot withstand this brutal assault of Japanese infantry, they are reinforced by more Russian tanks. Despite Tatsuo's exclamations to not fall back and to die for the emperor, he and Jun-shik are taken prisoner in the end, which is rare since Japanese troops regarded POW status as dishonorable and thousands of Japanese(and who knows how many Koreans)would rather kill themselves than be taken prisoner. Both men, and many others, including the members of Jun-shik's squad, are then suffering for what seems to be an eternity in a freezing Soviet labor camp. Tatsuo is bitter and gets constantly punished when he defies Russian authority by refusing to deface his nation's flag, but he seems to hate Jun-shik all the more, with a scene where they are supposed to fight to the death. The two are about to meet their fate in front of a firing squad when news comes at the last second that Germany has invaded Russia. They are then conscripted into the Russian army to fight the Germans, fighting their first battle for them in December, 1941. The conscripts are little more than cannon fodder to be served to the Germans and their machine guns. It seems like the entire Russian unit of conscripts is wiped out in that battle, with Jun-shik and Tatsuo as the only survivors. It seems like the former Japanese colonel has started to warm up to this Korean because they leave together for German lines and Tatsuo has his life saved by Jun-shik right before advancing German infantry split them up. In May, 1944, Tatsuo is reunited with Jun-shik at Normandy, France, following up towards the Allied invasion of France, and both men wearing German army uniforms. This is when the men regard each other as friends, and they go through quite the struggle to survive together when the American troops hit the beaches under an intensive bombardment by Allied aircraft and warships alike. Do they survive? Well, you'll just have to see the movie! This is a MUST-HAVE for all history buffs!!! ... show more

Incredible battle scenes in an unbeliveable story.
Its not easy to describe "My Way" a story based on 'true events' which means you have to figure out which events are true--and which were added or fabricated I guess. Yang Kyoungjong was a real Korean soldier in the German Army captured on D-Day by American Paratroopers. The film begins in Korea, occupied by the Japanese for several years before & during WWII. The story follows the relationship between two men, a Korean & a Japanese boy who are competitors for Japans Olympic Marathon Team. Let me say right here that the running scenes in this film aren't particularly well done--the competitors look more like they are 'jogging' as in 10 min miles, versus 5 min miles which is more realistic but the running story isn't even 'necessary in this film--its a War movie. The Yang gets conscripted into the Japanese Army where he is sent to the Mongolian Border to battle the Russians in 1939. It just so happens his Commanding Officer, is his Japanese counterpart from the Marathon Trials and he is a brutal, sadistic leader of his men. At this point the film begins to shine because without a doubt, the battle scenes in this film are SUPERB; graphic, intense, heroic, truly as amazing as anything in Saving Private Ryan. The Russians prevail and our 2 main characters are captured & sent to a POW Camp deep inside the USSR with more amazing scenes of the Korean & Japanese POW's now 'united' somewhat against the Communists. When the Germans invade Russia, the POW's are given a choice; fight for the Russians or be executed on the spot. Our Yang & his Japanese nemesis are thrown into the battle of Dedovsk and the battle with the Germans is astonishing. Somehow, the 2 men survive the battle & then decide to escape their Russian captors and head towards the German lines with the hope of getting back home. They wind up getting separated after finding the Germans, and eventually are conscripted into the Eastern Battalion stationed at Normandy Beach. They find each other after 3 yrs apart both serving in the Wehrmacht building defenses for the inevitable attack by the Allies. Over time our 2 characters have gone from bitter enemies & rivals, to survivors & friends. The climax of this film comes on D-Day with our 2 characters serving in the German Army and plotting a way to escape Normandy and get back to Korea. What takes place next is probably the finest battle/set piece I've ever seen showing the D-Day invasion from the German perspective. I won't write any spoilers here about what happens at Normandy, but the film ends with the 1948 Olympic Marathon (again, not very well done) which isn't part of the incredible true story of Yang Kyoungjong as far as I know . In my view the 'running story' was maybe added as a 'device' to fill out the character development between Yang & his Japanese friend which is just unnecessary. In summary, this is an amazing War movie with a title that gives no indication of what your about to see (its not the autobiography of Frank Sinatra) & some running scenes that add nothing to the story. ... show more

Amazing movie
This is probably one of the best movies I've seen, period. It might even be the best war movie. Most war movies focus on a single platoon/unit of American soldiers fighting against one enemy. This movie is different. Seeing WWII from so many angles from the eyes of a few characters is really eye-opening. The human side of this film is just as good as Saving Private Ryan or Full Metal Jacket. People who don't like this movie knock it mainly for not being historically accurate. I really couldn't care less. Everyone knows that "based on a true story" usually means "fiction". This isn't a war documentary film. Critics generally don't like this movie for the usual stupid reasons, i.e. bad cinematography, bad editing, bad soundtrack, etc. They need to realize that the average movie viewer doesn't pay attention to trivial things such as these. I won't blow any of details of the plot. I'll just say that if you want to see WWII in a different way, this movie is for you. ... show more

Action from start to Finish! This movie has 6 Languages incredible!
Based on True events that happened during WW2 this flick has 6 different languages! So if you're addicted to Foreign movies and actually don't mind reading subtitles, need non-stop action with some sentimental scenes then this is for you. I'd put this up there with Saving Private Ryan status because some scenes can be very graphic. But Private Ryan is already over 20 years old now, so technology has gotten a lot better since 1998. This is a Foreign movie so they don't have to adhere to U.S. Rating standards so use your imagination, this movie has got it all! I'll try to do a brief synopsis here. This is a True event story of 2 Asian men. 1 Korean and 1 Japanese. They've known each other since childhood, seem more like brothers and have battled with one another since then in competitions. As adults, the Korean man is forced to fight for the Imperial Army of JAPAN. The Japanese man becomes his Commander. The two are then thrusted into combat together and their WAR journeys and conflictions begin. Eventually BOTH of them end up fighting for the Russians and then fighting for the Nazis too, while meeting a Chinese Sniper along the way. This is where all those languages come in play. There's just way too much to put down in words, there are many shifts and plenty of action in this movie. The movie culminates on D-Day with more battle scenes! ... show more

Disappointing !!
This COULD HAVE BEEN a great movie, but it was NOT. -- It is a pitty because the story is as good as one could wish for; but ... Blast and Bombast do not suffice to make a great movie ... The movie could have been made longer to develop more the situations and the history and they could have saved time by showing less gore and blood than it was necessary ... Many sceness were just "corny". The story gets 5-stars; the director and the story-writter get a zero !! ... show more

Great story
First off, the acting was superb. It is a complicated story that starts prior to WWII. There are many small details that enhanced the story but are too many to enumerate. You just have to watch and pay attention. Throughout, the contempt of Japanese for Koreans is strongly portrayed. The story starts in Japanese occupied Korea with two boys, one Korean, Jun-Shik, and one Japanese, Tatsuo, who start out as friends. As they grow older, they become competitors in the Marathon. This comes to a head when Jun-Shik beats Tatsuo (and all contestants) in try outs for the Olympics despite an attempt by a the Japanese to, first, prevent any Koreas from participating, and, second, by having one of the Japanese contestants try to trip Jun-Shik as he is close to the finish line. After Jun-Shik wins anywaty, the officials play a switcheroo by accusing Jun-Shik of tripping the other contestant. They disqualify him which starts a riot. Jun-Shik (who did not join in the rioting) and his friends are arrested and punished by being forced into the Japanese army. Now they are in Manchuria fighting the Russians and enduring abuses from their Japanese superiors. Eventually, Tatsuo arrives to take command of the unit. Tatsuo treats Jun-Shik with contempt while the later freely engages in defiance (and endures the punishment). Eventually both become Russian prisoners and are sent to a Gulag where they and other POWs are treated harshly while serving as slave labor. When Germany invades the USSR, they are impressed into the Soviet army where they are used as canon-fodder. For Tatsuo, he sees in the brutal acts of the Soviet political officers a reflection of himself. He begins to understand how cruel he had treated the Koreans, in particular, his childhood friend. After the slaughter, both men are alone and wounded. They decide to head for German lines in hopes of escaping the Russians. Their initial contact with the Germans is not pleasant but they both eventually end up in the German army as part of the Eastern battalion in Normandy. They become friends. Since they both just want to get home, they plan on desertion but the Allied invasion interrupts their plans. I won't spoil things from here. I would have loved to rate this movie higher but the battle sequences were lacking in reality. I loved the portrayal of Soviet BT tanks but they were portrayed in a silly fashion. In BTs the commander was also the gunner. To have them standing up out of their hatches firing MGs (not realistic in of itself) while the canon were likewise firing was absurd. They also drive their tanks into the Japanese masses rather than standing off and firing (it is difficult to bring tank weapons to bear on close-in infantry). The scenes of Japanese officers likewise leaping upon the BTs killing tank commander after tank commander with their katanas was also absurd. Skipping over to Normandy, the weather was much too nice for the invasion. It also portrayed ships firing on the beaches even after the troops had landed and showed paratroopers landing in broad daylight immediately behind the beaches. At any rate, the story is the important element and it is well told and well acted. ... show more
