Cease Fire - 1953 Korean War Film

[@STREETSTANG07]

My dad was in Korea 1952. Looking at his old pictures looked just like these guys. Flak jacket M2 carbine and a boat load of hand grenades. He was in the eight army some big battle in an area called the punch bowl. He’s still alive at 89 years old and feisty as ever.

[@kurtporter1323]

My father served in the Korean War. Almost died of pneumonia. Shipped back aboard a hospital ship. Good thing cause I was born in 1955.

I was stationed in Korea, 1986-1989. I spent time at the DNZ and Seoul and I have been back since. Korea is amazing and a beautiful country.

No matter how many times I watch this film it never ceases to amaze me that these men were not actors, or at least not many of them, the acting is a little wooden but that’s only to be expected, how they managed to film this during the war and under the pressure that a real contact could happen at any moment is amazing, they all deserve medals. 😀👍🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 P.S That’s the worst mine detecting I have ever seen, far to fast and to deep, how, if it was real, they didn’t set one off is incredible.

My grand father served in Korean war as an interpreter following the US army. Same as the young Korean soldier shown in this movie. I still remember his right hand was crippled due to a gun shot he got in the battle fighting against CPLA and had a huge scar on it. He passed away 21 years ago. This movie reminds me how he served back then and made me understood more about him. He lived quiet after coming back home from the front and didn't say that much about he experienced in the battle field to his family nor to his son, my father. I regret I will never be able to ask him about the time he passed through. But, you let me watch this movie and now I have much clear tails of him. Thank you for sharing the history. And thank you for your service Allies.

I thought I never saw this movie, but when they started singing the "Onward" song I recalled having that song stuck in my head as a small kid. I loved war movies as a kid, so I am not too surprised I didn't miss this one, even if I can't recall anything about the plot. Funny thing about war movies now, is all I see is young men killing each other and feel sad. When I contemplate that the Hell we put those men through is, in all too many cases, for other men's profits and power, then I get angrier than Hell.

I loved seeing Korea's beautiful landscapes before modernization. As well as the locals, it is hard to imagine that this was filmed right at the end of the war and to think of all that they and our soldiers had endured. I have served in South Korea myself, several tours 4 years in total. I also served during excercise Team Spirit in both 1984 and 1985, some of the very rural areas still looked this way, but the cities were very modern and dynamic. My last trip back was about 12 years after my last tour, but as a civilian in 2016 and it had changed so much even in that time period. I am very proud of our alliance and what the Korean people have accomplished.

A group of Black fighter pilots that flew P-51 Mustangs called the Red Tails that escorted B-17s all the way to Berlin, and while they were bombing Berlin , the P51s looked for targets of opportunity, like trains, factories, and German planes on the ground. Very well known group of black pilots, known as the Tuskegee Airmen. Watch the movie on youtube its free. Show your children their role in WW2.
