The Chinese should not forget Rabe.
After losing his job, Rabe, the manager of Siemens China, could go back to China to get social security, but he did not lose his humanity and rationality. He worked with other foreigners to set up a safe zone, tried his best to save his compatriots in Nanjing, and took out all his belongings to solve everyone's food problems.
The scene of separation from his wife and Rabe's departure from Nanjing was very touching!
The reason I gave this film 3 stars is that Zhang Jingchu...

"Because he's a cheerful and happy guy, no one can deny it"
3.5 stars, I watched the 134-minute version, I heard that there is also a 5-hour extended version, but unfortunately I didn't find it. As far as this version is concerned, there are many logics and loopholes that are difficult for the Chinese to understand, such as Rabe's ideological change and the final lack of explanation for the German fantasy. Perhaps for the director, copying a Schindler-style story is in line with His audience, but he clearly didn't take into account the overall...

I remember the first time I learned about the Nanjing Massacre in junior high school. At that time, I went to the library during the school lunch break. I couldn’t sleep and bored. I saw a somewhat worn history book. I don’t remember the title. The black-and-white photos are so depressing and uncomfortable to look at. The content records the suffering of the compatriots in the Nanjing Massacre. The description is direct, the words are shocking, and the photos are...

In remembering history, we must also remember those who helped China
The narrative of this film is not too strong, and the visual expression is average, but there are also some good pictures and points that have a deep impact on me.
1 Rabe held a farewell party the night before he was about to leave. The Japanese bombed the city of Nanjing. Rabe opened the...

Rabe is the Chinese Schindler. The most representative and dramatic scene in the film is the scene in which Rabe raised the Nazi flag to protect Chinese civilians. This is as contradictory as his historical identity. man, but did the right thing; so did the Japanese soldier who had the slightest conscience. There is no choice of identity and nationality, and the position is embarrassing, but no party of any nationality is comparable to human nature, first human, and then other identities......

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...

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.
John Rabe: To the Führer of the German people. Chancellor Adolf Hitler. My Führer. As a loyal party member and upstanding German. I turn to you in a time of great need. The Japanese Imperial troops conquered the city of Nanking on December 12, 1937. Since then I have witnessed atrocious crimes against civilians. Please help to end this catastrophe and make an appeal to our Japanese allies in the name of humanity. With a German salute.
[Rabe signs the letter]
