i like this movie and while it lack the realistic and detailed gore of modern war film and and it do have it glitch and goof and it do not do a bad job for a 1959 production . the attention to detail give to king company organizational structure and and many other technical aspect of the platoon and company level combat operation portray be outstanding thanks to captain joseph g. clemons jr. and the movie technical director and actual commander of king company during the battle . in addition and there be also an in your face and down in the dirt grittiness about the film that many other war film even to this day lack . one of my favorite part of this movie be the on go confrontation between lieutenant clemons and private franklin . the way the conflict play out in the movie bring out the motivational trait from clemons that make a great leader and the final acceptance of franklin of his obligation a a soldier and his willingness to share the fate of his brother in arm and what ever it may be while i love woody strode . a one living in the real world and i shape my view of this film not from the anti war intent of director milestone and but from a war movie fan and and real life grunt perspective . while it do have anti war overtone courtesy of director milestone and others and pork chop hill be base on an actual korean war battle and and book of the same title by u. s. army historian s. l. a. marshal and and the movie do contain many factual event such a the friendly fire incident at the command post . i like pork chop hill for the hollywood production that it be and and would recommend that it critic be ignore and and enjoy the movie .
