    Three and a half. Sure enough, as I expected, the fatal mistake that Nanjing Nanjing made was not made in this movie. This is a very dramatic melodrama. Don't equate it with realist films or documentaries. It is this purity that makes it higher than the four dissimilarities in Nanjing. This film is also more touching than Nanjing, a little fanciful, the first half is obviously better than the second half, Zhang Jingchu's plot is a...

    There are many angles to reproduce the Nanjing Massacre. There is a director from a victim country who chooses the perspective of the...

    I read Nanjing Nanjing and Rabe's diary at the same time, and I have to say that the latter is much better. Nanjing Nanjing is a running account with no storyline and only bloody...

    After watching "Nanjing! Nanjing! After reading "Rabe Diary", I have a trace of regret, and I always feel that there is something wrong; I don't feel anything special about "The Diary of Rabe". There are not many depictions of the cruelty of war, and many are even obtained from the mouths of the characters, which cannot bring out the protagonist. What a respectable thing to do in the context of that era. The director is not a storyteller. Although the clues of the story are very clear, the...

    Maybe it's a matter of perspective, so I feel that the director is doing this with an attitude of staying out of the way, and the Nanjing Massacre is just a background, but I can't watch the film with an attitude of being out of the way. Maybe he wanted to express too much, so it seemed too bland in...

    I have to admit that foreigners understand the Nanjing Massacre much better than we do. In addition to hating the atrocities of the Japanese fascists, we should also remember the Chinese compatriots who died tragically, those foreign friends who showed humanitarian spirit. The compassion and justice shown by Dr. Wilson and Ms. Dupree in the film is more precious than Mr. Rabe. Also pay tribute to the Japanese actors who participated in the...

    Anyway, I think it looks nice

    Before writing my own film review, I always used to look at how others wrote the film review, maybe this is my lack of opinion.
      Some people say that this movie is not as good as "Nanjing Nanjing". I haven't seen "Nanjing Nanjing", so I can't comment on it, but as far as this movie is concerned, I...

    give a real feeling

    Just watched it today,
    Rabe's diary showed his own characteristics,
    1. The authenticity of history
    2. The cruelty of Japanese devils! Atrocities, everyone in China should remember that they must destroy Japan, the collateral nation of China!
    Just look at the killing match between the two Japs! Sad!...

John Rabe quotes

  • Prince Asaka Yasuhiko: Congratulations, Major. You'll make an excellent commander one day. But I ask myself, why is it that I give orders not to take prisoners, and you arrive with thousands?

    Major Ose: Please forgive me.

    Japanese Officer: Your Highness.

    Prince Asaka Yasuhiko: I didn't ask you to speak!

    [Japanese officer steps back and bows]

    Prince Asaka Yasuhiko: So, Major. What do you propose?

    Major Ose: Your Highness. It would be extremely difficult to execute that many prisoners.

    Prince Asaka Yasuhiko: Is that so?

    Major Ose: Furthermore, I believe such executions could be considered to be illegal.

    Prince Asaka Yasuhiko: Illegal? I am entrusting you personally with resolving this matter once and for all. I want no prisoner alive by tomorrow morning. We will also shell the city center. Nanking must experience the superiority of our troops.

  • Colonel Nakajima Kesago: He disobeyed the rules by not staying in the car.

    John Rabe: He didn't stay in the car? His head was cut off!

    Colonel Nakajima Kesago: It was an honorable death. A contest between two officers. Very popular in Japan.

    John Rabe: What contest?

    Colonel Nakajima Kesago: Who decapitates the most enemies.
