The Battleship Island
(2017)
Directed by Ryoo
Seung-wan this film based on historical events stars Hwang Jung-min,
So Ji-sub, Song Joon-ki and Lee Jung-hyun. During WW2 Koreans are
forced to work in terrible conditions in a mine by the Japanese.
Showing horrible
conditions this Korean film covers a part of history that the
Japanese would still prefer to forget. The events and characters
appear to be fictional but the setting is not and give a good, if a
little long, look into life on Hasima Island. Generally the film is
well made although the subtitling for the English version could have
been done a little better.
3/5
