Epicly brutal battle scenes, heroes dying suddenly quickly, as in life. Pathetic commanders and little people who only want to survive. And 100 meters from the battle, spectators literally looking at death through a lorgnette. It’s strange that this happened. There are gaps in logic , but it's a good movie about war - shit☮

Like a communist e-girl, I loved the way it looked and tried to ignore the propaganda. This true story about a small group of Chinese soldiers defending the last outpost in Shanghai against the Japanese army, all in full view of the war-free zone living large on the other side of the river (!), works extremely well as a grand war epic, despite the cloying lapses into clichés. The images are often breathtaking and not without a genuine stirring of emotion.

Fantastic production. Amazing story. Of course, there is a strong Chinese patriotism layer, but it’s ok. I was impressed by the production value, editing and direction.

Historical eastern heroism where individuals does not count that much. All for the country. Simply does not work for me to trigger patrioism as a western guy. Picturewise and the scenes themselfes are done great! Very obvious that the 800 tries to adapt to optic style and color of saturation of the 300 but that works better than expected. Overall I also learned a more eastern view on thing of that area that are glorified like this compared to the western one.
