LT Eugene Clark

The commander of the mission portrayed in this movie was US Navy LT Eugene F. Clark. He won a Silver Star for gallantry on the mission and wrote a book about it later in life. Where is he? Conveniently written out of the story. Why not write out the US Navy invasion fleet, air support, and the marines and soldiers of X- Corps while you are at it? This is likely another South Korean propaganda movie that tries to minimize the US role in the Korean War. I've watched quite a few South Korean War movies, and according to them South Korea fought the war all by themselves.

Definitely a shame. As an American actor living in Korea during the time of production, I for one auditioned for the role of LT Clark, as LT Clark was the initial casting call I responded to. I even went through and researched about LT Clark before my audition. There were dozens of LT Clark hopefuls who, if they asked, were simply told they weren't chosen, when it reality the role had been cancelled.

The Koreans re write history to portray them as the winners!

Be damned you say, who would have thought it, you would never ever catch Hollywood performing such underhand tactics, no sir!

Can you tell the names of some of these South Korean movies you're talking about?

I have seen Hollywood make movies that put American's in roles that were actually carried out by people from other countries quite often. They also make it look like the role of the Americans were much bigger than it really was such as in ARGO.

I actually don't care so long as the movie is good. I just wanted to make sure you understand that the old USA film companies do it as well.

It's a Korean movies. You seriously expect them to make an American hero?

Yeah... like the Objective, Burma! movie showing how American G.I. won the entire Burma campaign of World War II all by themselves when the American G.I.s were never in Burma.

That was a British, Commonwealth and Indian operation all by itself.

Then there was U-576 which is another lie.

It was the British Royal Navy that captured the U-Boats and their onboard enigma code machine intact about 13 times before the U.S. Navy captured their first U-Boat with an enigma code machine in 1944.

By that time in 1944 the British and her Allies were already decoding U-Boat traffic.
