I LOVE great international movies!
And I LOVE historical movies based on real events!!
I am particularly fond of Korean films of the historical genre.
HANSAN is based on an actual naval battle between Japanese invading forces and defending the defenders of Joseon (modern day Korea).
Intent on conquering China, the Japanese first had to invade and conquer Joseon in the 1590s. They came very close to success.
However, the navy of Joseon, which included heavily armored and armed "Turtle" ships stood in the way of the Japanese navy and final conquest.
HANSAN is well written, well acted and ACTION PACKED!
I loved the ATTENTION TO DETAIL with regard to Joseon and Japanese culture - especially the clothes, armor, and weapons of individual soldiers and their commanders, and the naval vessels of both sides.
HANSAN is another Korean historical film I will add to my collection.
