Big thumb down for this crappy political propaganda

The literal translation of the title of this film is: Fierce Battle at the Nameless River.

This is the Chinese version of a battle fought at a nameless river during the Korean War.  This movie really blew it because it is made during the cultural revolution and the political pressure forced the movie to be so fake in that every Chinese soldier always shout political slogans and seemed never die.

Mandarin-language cinema across Mainland China, Taiwan, and Singapore explores historical reflection, cultural identity, and personal sacrifice, often expressed through poetic visuals and sweeping narratives. In Mainland China, this takes the form of allegory and large-scale epics that reflect on national history. Taiwan emphasizes intimate modernist realism, generational change, and the search for identity. Singapore contributes stories of migration, multiculturalism, and the negotiation of tradition in a globalized city.

The war genre features armed conflicts, both historical and fictional, and the experiences of individuals and groups involved in warfare. This genre explores the physical, emotional, and moral challenges faced by soldiers, civilians, and others affected by war.
