Here's a list of tons of leftist movies.
The Battle at Lake Changjin (2021)
I went on a bit of a research expedition and learned that Mao's eldest son, Mao Anying, who was killed in 1950 by a US bomber during the Korean War briefly depicted in the movie, studied in Moscow, petitioned Stalin to send him to the front during the WW2, got his wish, and served as an artillery officer, during the final Battle of Berlin including. Also had no idea Mao had 10 children lol
MacArthur wanted to use nukes in Korea. Fucking insane son of a bitch
Doug MacArthur is a fascinating historical figure because in any other army he would have been court martialed and fired for incompetence
The admiral in charge of the Pacific campaign would have stripped him of command if he was allowed to. Everyone competent hated him.
Stalin's second son, Yakov Dzhugashvili, also died during WW2. He was captured by the Nazis and they tried to use him as a bargaining chip, but Stalin rejected their offers since no other Soviet POW would get the same treatment. The Nazis probably executed Yakov in 1943 after that failed.
the american? actors in that movie were soooo bad. it hurt to watch.
yeah the american actors were very b-movie level, the cineese ones were better i feel, which would make sense. but also, having watched a bunch of expensive chinese movies now, i gotta give it to them: if there is an american in the movie they hire an american and they speak proper english, if theres a russian--same. none of that broken accent, dubbing, or straight up gibberish
id prefer a good actor with a strange affect to an authentic-but-awful american tbh.
