On July 26th, a new South Korean World War II blockbuster film titled the Battleship Island finally premiered. On the opening day, nearly 600,000 tickets were reserved. The director is Ryoo Seung-wan, and the actors are Hwang Jung-min, Song Joong-Ki, and So Ji-sub. It is an escape story during the Japanese colonical era. Most people think of The Battleship Island as a movie which aim is to impress the people, but it is not. After watching this movie, there are so many diverse comments by the people who watched it.

First, Japan's reaction must have been bad at all. It is because the movie deals with content under the Japanese imperialism. Japan says that The Battleship Island is not a real situation. It is just a creative story, and it is not a movie that recorded the history. On the other hand, China's reaction towards The Battleship Island is quite great. One netizen in a Chinese cite introduces The Battleship Island as a great movie that can change not only just one country but also other countries.

We should know how the people who watched the movie think of that movie. People who think this movie is good say that it expresses Korea's strong will and Japan's brutality. While some people support this movie, some others do not like this movie at all. Compared to Dunkirk, people think that Dunkirk only deals with the withdrawal action, and it admits Germany's skill and some other things. However, The Battleship Island does not admit shortages. It only shows Japan's action towards Korea.

Maybe a lot of people know well about The Battleship Island because a TV program titled Infinite Challenge deals with this moving story. By this program, people know well about what the movie is all about and how hard it was to be in that place. The material is very good, but the contents are a little bit distorted, so many moviegoers' perspective are so diverse.
