Does History Repeat Herself? Or do various cultures adopt the same stories and make them their own?
4 Stars
Does History Repeat Herself? Or do various cultures adopt the same stories and make them their own?
This great and exciting film (The Admiral - Roaring Currents, 2014) appears to be a spinoff of, The Alamo (2004 film), about a United States, State of Texas, True battle against the Mexicans. You will notice many similarities between THE ALAMO and THE ADMIRAL.The Alamo film (2004) came first, but the writers of THE ADMIRAL film (2014) make us believe they were the originators of the plot by setting their film in 1597, whereas The Alamo is set in 1836.In both films you have the head military leader coughing up blood into a napkin. The Admiral does so (The Admiral), and Colonel Bowie does so (The Alamo).Also, the ratio of odds is exactly the same.The Alamo writers use 180 Texan troops fighting against 5000 Mexican troops. Whereas, The Admiral writers use 12 Korean ships against 330 Japanese ships. That is exactly the same odds ratio.EXAMPLE:12 ships times 10 = 120 ships.330 ships times 10 = 3300 ships.add half as many more and you get180 ships against 4950 ships (sounds like 180 men against 5000 men).Either history repeats herself around the world or else these writers are deceiving us into thinking their plots are original?Consider the Israelite story of Moses, King Saul, and King David.Then consider the Roman/Greek story of the Emperor Nero.Nero's life was very similar to the combined lives of Moses/Saul/David.Davy Crockett's life can be compared to Jesus Christ in great detail. Davy was even purported to have risen from the dead and appeared to many in Mexico City after the fall of the Alamo (and his death). Davy bled the 5000 whereas Jesus fed the 5000. And so on.And COL Jim Bowie, COL Davy Crockett, and LT COL William Travis are considered the Holy Trinity of the Alamo.Perhaps the Admiral is Father, Son, and Holy Ghost all rolled up into one?Or should I add Moses too, making 4?We have to add in General Sam Houston into the mix to make a victory for the Texans.So perhaps the Admiral is:Moses, God, Jesus, Holy Spirit all rolled up into one, orDavy Crockett, Jim Bowie, William Travis, and Sam Houston all rolled up into one?

Don't bother waiting to watch this one before getting Han San, they are both great and go together very well, and Han San chronologically comes first. Both have fantastic acting and incredibly high production values.

Saw this movie for the first time with a friend and we were both really impressed! I had read that this had been a really popular movie in Korea when it came out and I decided to buy it since I couldn't find it online to watch, but I don't regret buying it because it was amazing! Now I know what all the buzz was about for this movie. The ending has you at the edge of your seat and you don't know what to expect, but it really blows you away. And now I know more of who Admiral Yi Sun-Shin was.

Don't need a movie to be historically accurate just worth watching. This movie is also on youtube but wanted my own copy.
The DVD has both Korean with subtitles or English dubbed. Don't deprive yourself of the pleasure of hearing the actors' real voices in Korean.
Just a fantastic movie and one I love to rewatch.

5.0 out of 5 stars History brought to life.
Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2015

Perhaps slightly biased via the Korean point of view, this dramatic story of the triumph of the Korean David versus the Japanese Goliath in a Straits of Salamis naval confrontation (in the late 16th century) is nonetheless very impressive and well worth the effort of purchase and viewing. Traditions, heritage, and heroic role models are very strong in many cultures. All very evident and stimulating in this movie.

Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2016
Verified Purchase
A very moving depiction of Yi Soon-Shin's famous victory at Myeongnyang. However, there was one aspect of this movie that bothered me.. A lot of this movie's dialogue is spoken in Japanese, but all of the actors with Japanese roles struggle with the script (with the exception of one actor who is actually Japanese). They even seem to overact in an attempt to make up for their poor diction, so the Japanese scenes come off more like a comedy sketch parodying foreign historical dramas. It would have been better if they either cut down the amount of Japanese dialogue or gave more of those roles to Japanese speakers.
Either way, the rest of the movie made up for that issue, so I still enjoyed watching this.

Thoroughly enjoyed this movie. I like the theme of the underdog or smaller nation taking on the greater nations and becoming the victor. Korean history is filled with such encounters and have remained a separate nation to this day. The twist of deception at the end of the movie was brilliant.
