The story of the film is based on the Nanjing Massacre during the Anti-Japanese War. It tells the touching story of Nanjing, China, which was occupied by the Japanese army in 1937, and the touching stories happened between people who did not know each other in a church. An American who pretended to be a priest in order to save people, a group of schoolgirls hiding in a church, 14 women who escaped the war, and soldiers and wounded soldiers who resisted desperately. A tragic covenant of death

Compared with the original work, the film adds a story line that shows the bloody struggle of the Chinese people, showing the bloody and indomitable spirit of the Chinese people. There are also a lot of war scenes in the film, but there are no big scenes that are too emphasized. I hope to impress the audience with the details of the war scenes.

There is no distinction in life for anyone, so the ending makes people feel helpless and sad...

    It's another story under that gloomy sky in 1937. The direct and brutal picture in the first half highlights the brutality of the massacre, and the second half shows the kindness of human nature through the depiction of specific characters. It can be regarded as a sincere work by Laomouzi in recent years, but several scenes including Bell's bed scene are still obvious commercial selling points... The ending is subtle and well handled. The stained glass transition of the church is very beautiful. Bell shaved his beard and said he was so handsome~

    First of all, the theme is very catchy, and the discussion of human nature in war has always been my dish; then this script is too good to make a bad film; Bell's performance is excellent, only waving the cross flag in the church and "deceiving" female students Two scenes are enough to win the Oscar in my heart; the use of long shots and hand-held shots is obviously closer to Hollywood, and some shots are restrained and restrained like Clint Eastwood;
