Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })My Way (Korean: 마이 웨이) is a 2011 South Korean war film inspired by the story of Yang Kyoungjong.The movie is about two marathon runners, Jun-shik Kim (a Korean, played by Jang Dong-gun) and Tatsuo Hasegawa (a Japanese), who are fierce racing competitors from childhood. Years later during a marathon where Jun-shik wins, a riot breaks out when the Japanese judge declares Tatsuo the winner, wrongly disqualifying Jun-shik for cheating. Afterward, the riot instigators, including Jun-shik, are conscripted into the Japanese Army, where he is stationed at Nomonhan under command of the now Colonel Tatsuo. Jun-shik fights alongside Tatsuo during the Khalkin Gol campaign against the Russians in 1937. Both are captured by the Soviet Red Army and are sent to a hellish gulag. With the Soviet Union reeling under the weight of the German invasion in 1941, they are drafted at gunpoint to fight in the Battle of Hedosk. Tatsuo and Jun-shik survive and are then captured by the Wehrmacht, who in turn conscript them as Osttruppen. The film climaxes with D-Day as the Americans invade Normandy where Jun-shik and Tatsuo are stationed.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Anachronism Stew: Iowa-class battleships are seen as part of the bombardment force covering the American landings on the beach during the landings on D-Day. In reality, all of the Iowa-class ships in commission at the time were either in the Pacific theaternote USS Iowa and USS New Jersey were in the Marianas as part of the Fast Carrier Task Force. or still in training back in the US.note USS Wisconsin. What's even worse is that the hull number of number of one of the ships shown was the yet-to-be commissioned USS Missouri.note  Which was commissioned on June 11, 1944, five days after the landings. Some of the Korean conscript soldiers during the Khalkhin Gol campaign carry Type 99 rifles, which are not anachronistic so much as unlikely, as they were just being introduced in 1939. It would be especially unlikely to see a newly-introduced rifle in a Korean conscript unit. The map representing Jun-Shik and Tatsuo's train journey to the Soviet prison camp has place names written in pre-reform Russian orthography, particularly noticeable in the presence of the nearly-obsolete Russian letter Ъ at the end of many masculine words. Publishing in the pre-reform orthography was heavily discouraged, though not really illegal, after 1918. This was especially true in aspects of life where the Soviet government had the most influence, like in the military and in textbooks. So, even though the map is not technically wrong, the pre-reform orthography would be very unusual as late as 1939.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })

Alas, Poor Villain: Tatsuo get this treatment combined with Break the Haughty upon undergoing a karmic Trauma Conga Line as a POW. Jong-dae also has this moment as he laments over missing Jun-Shik's sister to express how much he loves her as he dies.
