The movie depicts a 16th-century battle on the maritime boundary of Joseon, the feudal Korean kingdom (1392-1897). вЂњThe AdmiralвЂќ is set to open in 3,000 theaters in China before the end of the year. The message was clear: History can wait free trade cannot.Д¬hinese citizens may have a different opinion and now have the chance to watch Japanese defeat play out on screen, in a certain Korean film. Yet on Friday, just days before the annual Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit, China and Japan agreed to a temporary dГ©tente over the islands each nation claims in the East China Sea. The ancient fight over the Senkaku (Japanese), or Diaoyu (Chinese), islands in the East China Sea is better known and more contentious. Japan, perennially starved for land, claims to own the Takeshima islets, which Korea claims as Dokdo. To a lesser extent, вЂњThe AdmiralвЂќ stands as an indictment of Japanese aggression in the context of renewed militarization, a contested colonial historyВ and enduring territorial disputes. Following AprilвЂ™s Sewol ferry tragedy, the film came to embody a rebuke of corruption-tainted leaders like the AWOL captain and embattled President Park Geun-hye. That nationalism may be unintelligible to foreigners, but itвЂ™s powerfully felt in Korea. In the New York Times, Ben Kenigsberg described it as a CGI-aided, David-and-Goliath battle flick staged вЂњwith a nationalistic fervor.вЂќ More than a third of South Korea's 51.2 million residents have watched 'The Admiral: Roaring Currents' (in Korean, вЂњMyeongryangвЂќ ) a melodramatic blockbuster released earlier this year. The highest-grossing film in Korean history is noticeably bad.
