Good performance tarnished by healthy appearance

The literal translation of the title of this movie is: the bloody battle at the bridge named Spirit Losing Bridge.

The performance of the actors are all right, but physical appearance was rather not convincing:  during the war, with the exception of the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Germany during the Second World War, most other nations suffered the supply shortage, even for the armed forces, particularly for Chinese armies.  As a result, the soldiers were skinny, and weak.  The actors in this movie had the physical appearance of good life: their figures are fuller, though might not be fat, but certainly not skinny. They also looked very healthy, there was no signs of battle fatigue or illness.

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.
