My brother-in-law was there when the Chinese came across the border.
The first wave had rifles. The second wave had ammo and were to pick up the rifles of the killed first wave. The third wave had what ever tool they could find. Some had staves and rocks. Some had nothing.
China had so many excess males they found a good way to get rid of them in Korea.
He walked across Korea back and forth several times. When they finally got relieved and put on a ship back to the US via Africa and Europe, every port of call made he refused to get off the ship till back in the USA.

How are the Poles portrayed? I tend to avoid European depictions of war just because I find the style either overly theatrical or overly navel-gazing.
I think I’d prefer a German program that put the Poles in a negative light just because it would be reflective of how Germans at the time of WW2 would view them.

Does Bruce Willis have a cameo?

“Stalingrad” the 1993 Vilsmaier film. “The Winter War’ from Finland, can’t remember the year.

The “Life and Fate” DVD set isn’t easy to find. I struck out on Amazon, eBay, Netflix, DVD.Netflix, and our local library. I finally found it at russianDVD.com in Brooklyn, New York for $20. I may purchase it.

There is a really good Jap movie about the last days of WWII in Manchuria and subsequent Russian occupation. Really good. Unfortunately I can’t remember it’s name.

The typical “Poles drink anti-semitism with their mother’s milk” kind of approach, as if they were somehow even worse than the Nazis.

Never saw “Kolberg”, which I hear was one of the last gasps of the Nazis to keep Germans fighting to the bitter end.

“Closely Watched Trains” is another good Czech war film.

(Off-topic; but this was brought to mind when I found your post in my ping-list):
Except for ‘White Christmas’, which my husband and I watch every year, I haven’t watched any war-related movie since ‘Forrest Gump’ (which I like very much, but find sort of depressing.)
When I was a kid, my WWII vet father liked to watch the ‘Combat’ series on TV, and I watched with him.
One night, I became violently sick with a very high fever, and hallucinated that enemy soldiers were surrounding my bed, pointing rifles at me, and threatening to kill my family.
This won’t be interesting to many, but I’m an inveterate ‘twitcher’, and my husband and I watched a movie recently that I found fun, gentle and thoughtful:
‘The Big Year’:

Yeah, that happens to me too. I had the stomach bug over the weekend. I've read a lot about the Korean War and watched The Hunger Games Movies. I had a weird dream where we came from the past and ended up in the Hunger Games Civil War and I was leading a strike to take out President Snow and the capitol (this was before I saw the last Mockingjay movie) using several squadrons of F-84 Thunderjets. Before that, we took to the skies and made mince meat out of the Panem air force.

I’ve never been interested in the ‘Hunger Games’ (but mincemeat pie is very good and underappreciated.)

I'm watching it now. Thanks for telling me of it. I had seen it and passed it by a few times.

Wouldn’t say all of ‘em, but I really like that about them.
I wish Hollyweird would make films as jingoistic in favor of the US as the Chicoms do in favor of the PRC.
