Interesting insight Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
This movie was definently an interesting watch, while it took a little bit to get into groove of things it was a great watch. While it isn't completely accurate (have you ever seen a movie about a real person ever acurate?) it does show a lot of aspects of what life was like for Korean's living in Japan in that era.

The movie kept true to the type of living they had living amungst each other. The animosity towards each other, this is certainly a very important part of the movie. If this was not portried right it would not seem right.

While there are so many serious issues in this movie it does seem to keep light hearted in some of the fight scenes which keep things rather pleasent.

I think its a wonderful tribute to such a great person (even if he would possibly not consider himself on)...A very enjoyable watch, a must see!

 bad bad bad, in a bad way Customer Review Rated Bad 0 - 0 out of 10
acting, storyline, directing, basically everything was terrible about this movie. Based on a true story but nothing is accurate at all. This shows a lot of racisim towards japanese, making the koreans the good guys and the japanese the evil people. Few of the fight scenes were ok but everything else was bad

 POWERFULL PICTURE Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
I became an asian movie lover about a year ago and this movie proves once again that the korean stuff is some of the best. I don't know anything about the real character this is about but the action scenes blew me away and gave me some severe adrenaline rushes each time I have seen it (about 5 times so far). I have been a manic movie buff in general for years and seen thousands of movies, some foreign, but the asian stuff is awesome - don't just see this movie - OWN IT!!!!

 What is untrue? Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
Of course not every detailed aspects of the film is true, but it is true that living in Japan as a Korean at that time wasn't a walk in the park. Makes you wonder why he got himself assimilated so quickly, huh? According to Choi, Bae-dal's family, he was proud of being Korean and at the same time afraid of being one. What he wanted didn't necessary had to come from Korea or Japan, and that's what makes him great!

Highly Recommended Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
Fighter In The Wind was both entertaining and educational. I learned some things about Korea as well as Japan. I enjoyed watching the progress of this man's life as he goes from being a normal individual to one who is below the Japanese society and then rising again to become a well known and "remembered" hero.

 man.. Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
This film is one of the best Korean martial arts film i've ever seen.
I liked he's album but I think YDG is better at acting than rapping.
I'm not Japanese but I thought his Japanese sounded pretty good unlike Jang Dong Gun in 2009 Lost Memories.

untrue story but entertaining Customer Review Rated Bad 9 - 9 out of 10
Incredibly great movie with great story line but i Just wanted to let the people know that Mas oyama, or Choi Baedal the hero in this story.. wasn't against the japanese and in fact he even had a japanese hero by way of musashi miyamoto, which influenced his mountain retreat training. also mas oyama studied shotokan karate which he later reinforced with his own teachings turning it into kyokushinkai karate. true that he had been taught chinese and korean kempo in his childhood days but these arts were not the strongest influence of his style of karate.
All in all it was a good movie but politically untrue of his life story.
For those who have watched this movie please read the true history of Mas Oyama or Choi Baedal so that everything would be clear and you would know who was the toughest bad ass to have ever walked the earth!!

Great martial art film but it is not a 100% true s Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
Saw the Korean film "Fighter in the Wind" tonight, it was quite depressing. The fight scenes were certainly dramatic, but the main character, Korean martial arts master Choi Baedal (better known by his Japanese name, Mas Oyama), was a cartoon, certainly not the Mas Oyama that I admired when he made TV appearances promoting the Japanese art of karate back in the 1950's and 60's.
Dong-kun Yang plays him (and the director seems to see him) as a "sensual man-brute," but that does not quite tally with his acknowledged devotion to the warrior principles of Miyamoto Musashi. There's no suggestion of an intellectual or spiritual life beneath Yang's wildman hair-do, yet Musashi's work embodies both. And that hairdo! Seems the filmmakers never saw pictures of Oyama in that era.
The movie was very entertaining until the end and it depicted the korean hero or better known as "Mas Oyama" as the hero for the koreans.. which is so not true. though mas oyama was never against the koreans.. he was never against the japanese and against the americans either. which the film makers showed in the movie. certain parts of the story were untruthful like...
The Korean-made film has Oyama, already a fighter, leaving Korea in order to be trained as a pilot in Japan, arriving near the end of the war. According to the film, he was betrayed by the Japanese when they drafted him to join a kamikaze squad, with no flight training.
In fact, Choi arrived in Japan in 1938, and immediately adopted his Japanese name; he entered the Yamanashi Youth Air Force Academy before the war began. It was as a part of his military training that he was introduced to his first karate master, and discovered his own talent.
He had no problems in the air force until near the end of the war, when he struck a superior officer. He was spared severe punishment when it was determined that the officer provoked the attack; Oyama was then transferrred to the Pacific, serving there briefly before the Japanese surrender (which Oyama took as a great blow to his own sense of honor, while the film version falsely suggests that Japan's defeat was a matter of indifference, or perhaps even celebration, for him).
All in all it was a good film but very untrue to his life story.
