Cordial greetings to all movie lovers and their productions, I wish you are in the best possible situation. And if this is not the case, I wish you the best of encouragement so that you can overcome the difficulty you are facing.

I'm not usually a big fan of fashions, so when I see a story that I think is good and has a good message, regardless of whether it's recent or old, I try to give it a special place among my favourites. And it is the situation of the film that I will present to you below.

I share with you a production that I appreciate a lot. In this case it is a South Korean film from 2014 of the historical type. Called: The Admiral: Roaring Currents, the film recreates a historic naval battle, in which some 13 Korean ships, commanded by the legendary general Yi sun-shin, face and defeat some 300 Japanese ships. This is what is remembered as the Battle of Myeongryang which occurred around the year 1597.

Even today it is studied and it is a feat, that I do not know, that could have been equaled or surpassed. It was a lost cause, a desperate situation, yet we see the fight of one man against everything and everyone.

At the beginning of the film they give us the introduction to the story, with the chronology of events, we see the general Yi sun-shin, being cruelly tortured.

General Yi sun-shin had achieved successes in previous naval campaigns against the Japanese, but as happens in politics: intrigues were hatched against him, accusing him of espionage. And the reward of envy at court for all his triumphs was dishonor.

Command of the naval force that had been taken from him was given to his rival, General Won Gyun, who in his first and last battle (Chilcheollyang) lost almost the entire fleet and his own life. . Only a dozen ships survive, which are the ones that General Yi sun-shin uses in the film's story for combat.

General Yi sun-shin, a man sick and weakened as a result of the torture to which he was subjected, has to face the discouragement and fear of his own troops.

Which is reasonable, any soldier can come to feel that it is a suicide mission. It reminds me a bit of the situation that occurs at Thermopylae and the 300 Spartans.

The great challenge is to transform the fear of the men under his command into courage. Devise a strategy to fight and defeat as many enemies as possible.

In his diary notes, General Yi sun-shin recalled moments of the battle when his ship was alone attacking the enemy fleet and the rest of the ships of his army abandoned him. They only saw him from a distance.

He wrote that he felt like a lonely castle in the middle of nowhere, resisting attacks and pushing back the enemy.

A single ship facing 300, that is what is called courage. And a noble heart.

It was not luck, nor was it a miracle, the general had to study the terrain very well and use all his experience.

He also had to find a way to encourage his troops for battle. If you get the morale of the people who follow you up, you will see how they are capable of doing things they never thought possible.

So much damage was caused by himself, with only one ship, against the tidal wave of enemy ships, that the rest of his twelve ships eventually joined the battle little by little.

This story has a very special place for me. The general was in such a difficult situation, abandoned, being sick and being despised. General Yi sun-shin against all odds, using all his skill and courage achieved the impossible. It wasn't easy, it wasn't luck. It was hard work, continuous, even though he himself didn't expect to survive, he kept going and he won. It was fixed in his mind that he must not fail if he wanted to save the country from him.

When I'm a little down, I usually watch this film, the general is one of my favorite historical figures. I don't aspire to reach as much as he did. He is was a special kind of person, but he inspires me and helps me through the difficult moments that life usually throws my way.

As always I am not an expert, I just share something that I like and I hope that if you have the opportunity and can see it. You can make your own opinion.

Thank you very much for stopping by and reading.

Saludos cordiales para todos los amantes del cine y sus producciones, deseo que estén en la mejor situación posible. Y si no es así, les deseo el mejor de los ánimos para que logren superar la dificultad a la que se enfrentan.

No suelo ser muy fan de las modas, así que cuando veo una historia que considero buena y tiene un buen mensaje, independientemente de si es reciente o tiene algún tiempo, procuro hacerle un lugar especial entre mis favoritos. Y es la situación del filme que les presentaré a continuación.

Comparto con ustedes una producción a la que aprecio bastante. En este caso es un filme sur coreano del año 2014 del tipo histórico. Llamado: The Admiral: Roaring Currents, el filme recrea una batalla naval histórica, en la que unos 13 barcos coreanos, al mando del legendario general Yi sun-shin, enfrentan y derrotan a unos 300 barcos japoneses. Esta es la que se recuerda como la batalla de Myeongryang que ocurrió alrededor del año de 1597.

Aún hoy día se estudia y es una hazaña, que no sé, que haya podido ser igualada o superada. Era una causa perdida, una situación desesperada, aun así vemos la lucha de un hombre contra todo y todos.

En el inicio del filme nos dan la introducción a la historia, con la cronología de los eventos, vemos al general Yi sun-shin, siendo cruelmente torturado.

El general Yi sun-shin, había logrado éxitos en las campañas navales previas, contra los japoneses, pero como sucede en la política: se fraguaron intrigas en su contra, acusándolo de espionaje. Y la recompensa de la envidia en la corte por todos sus triunfos fue la deshonra.

El mando de la fuerza naval que le había sido arrebatado se le dio a su rival, el general Won Gyun, Que en su primera y última batalla (Chilcheollyang) pierde casi la totalidad de la flota y su propia vida. Sobreviven apenas una docena de barcos, que son los que el general Yi sun-shin utiliza en la historia del filme para el combate.

El general Yi sun-shin, un hombre enfermo y debilitado a consecuencia de las torturas a las que fue sometido, tiene que enfrentar el desánimo y el miedo de sus propias tropas.

Lo que es razonable, cualquier soldado puede llegar a sentir que es una misión suicida. Me recuerda un poco a la situación que ocurre en las termopilas y los 300 espartanos.

El gran reto es transformar el temor de los hombres a su mando en coraje. Idear una estrategia para luchar y vencer la mayor cantidad de enemigos posibles.

En notas de su diario, el general Yi sun-shin recordaba momentos de la batalla en que estaba solo su barco atacando a la flota enemiga y el resto de los barcos de su ejército, le abandonaron. Solo le veían a la distancia.

Escribía que se sentía como un castillo solitario en medio de la nada, resistiendo los ataques y haciendo retroceder al enemigo.

Un solo barco encarando 300, eso es lo que se llama valor. Y un corazón noble.

No fue suerte, tampoco un milagro, el general tuvo que estudiar muy bien el terreno y usar toda su experiencia.

También tuvo que encontrar la forma de alentar a sus tropas para la batalla. Si logras que la moral de la gente que te sigue está alta, verás como son capaces de hacer cosas que nunca pensaron posibles.

Fue tanto el daño que causo él solo, con solo un barco, contra la marejada de barcos enemigos, que el resto de sus doce barcos al final se le fue uniendo de a poco a la batalla.

Esta historia tiene un lugar muy especial para mí. El general estaba en una situación tan difícil, abandonado, estando enfermo y siendo despreciado. El general Yi sun-shin contra todo pronóstico, usando toda su habilidad y coraje logro lo imposible. No fue fácil, no fue suerte. Fue trabajo duro, continuo, aun cuando el mismo no esperaba sobrevivir, siguió adelante y venció. En su mente tenía fijo que no debía fallar si quería salvar a su país.

Cuando estoy un poco deprimido, suelo ver este filme, el general es uno de mis personajes históricos favorito. No aspiro llegar a tanto como él. Es era una clase especial de persona, pero me inspira y me ayuda en los momentos difíciles, que la vida suele presentarme.

Como siempre no soy un experto, solo comparto algo que me gusta y espero que si tienen la oportunidad y pueden verla. Ustedes mismos puedan hacer su propia opinión.

Muchas gracias por pasar y leerme.

I like this kind of productions, recreating historical situations and bringing them to the screen, it is very well set and has good special effects. There are many conflicts in Asian history that can be very well represented in productions. A great feat without a doubt.

Best regards

I'm glad you liked it, they were very serious in their work. People get hurt, and there is nothing superhuman or supernatural. The general is a great man, but he is human, he can be hurt, and he bleeds.
Thank you very much for reading and commenting.
