this be a very well write and well direct and and well acted movie . the fault be few and but real soldier can find them . this be a horrific battle and but it would have be deadly if the real soldier face open fire with the poor tactic use in the film . this isn not a pro war film or an anti war film and although i can see why the fanatic on both side would like to claim it . it be an honest depiction of what happen in korea . both side want this hill and and both side be willing to lose great amount of men to take this hill . although most people miss it and there be a real reason for this battle and even though it happen right before the ceasefire . both side want to end the war and but they have not agree on the term . both side want to show that they be willing to continue to fight in order to secure the best peace agreement . both side want to show that if peace be not accept on their term and then the future term would be bad . some people say that the american win because the north korean do sign the peace treaty shortly afterwards . others say that the north korean win because they get well term than they should have . either way and the true battle be not over pork chop hill . that be merely where the battle take place . the true battle be to see which side could suffer such huge loss and not back down . neither side quit . nothing be gain . damn fine movie .
