Also allow me to 'wax sarcastic' in that in regards to the Korean War, many H'wood leftists probably felt the 'Good Guys' didn't win, which is probably why they don't want to make movies about a lost cause.
Why can't you wretched prey creatures understand that the Universe doesn't owe you anything!? -

General Bradley was Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff when he made that famous statement about Korea being an unwinnable war. Every reputable historian since has agreed with Bradley's assessment.
Kinda hard to take that point of view in light of the success of South Korea vs the utter failure of North Korea. The Korean War looks pretty damned successful by comparison. -

That's not what Bradley was talking about. The Chinese were not going to let MacArthur establish a far-right client state on their doorstep, which is what MacArthur was doing by trying to install Rhee as the leader of a united Korea. Doing that would have caused a massive land war halfway around the world against the then-united Sino-Soviet bloc, which would have been unwinnable.
Frankly, MacArthur didn't even care about Korean politics. He cared too much about American politics and not enough about Korean politics. That's why he was relieved of command. -

The Inchon landing was one of the most brilliant amphibious assaults in history, and if the Chinese hadn't intervened it would have been the decisive event of the Korean War. You could certainly make a film about that.

I would think that the greater challenge, if you wish to call it that, is to make a mini-series about the Great War. It is after all the centennial from 2014-2018. What better time to come out with a series on that subject?
