'The Battle of Lake Changjin' is based on the eponymous events where the US - under MacArthur - occupies the role of the aggressor nation. The movie itself wasn't noteworthy as it's equivalent to standard Hollywood mediocrity, however my confused mind railed against accepting that the US can be anything other than the protagonist and so served to expand my limited worldview as my media consumption was admittedly US-centric.
