This kind of heroic movie is really hard to watch.

Rabe seems to be the Schindler of the East, with too many commonalities. The heart that was originally driven by interests softened when he saw the bloody bodies lying in front of him. He was not timid and flinched, and he gave 200,000 people a peaceful and peaceful home. But in fact, he also misses home. He used the piano to soothe the fluctuations in his heart, and the birds to soothe the pain in his heart, but he did not fall down, and he still had 200,000 waiting to be rescued.

Rabe eventually died in his own country, in obscurity. No one remembers that he had such a feat, only Nanjing still stands his monument, warming the whole city of Nanjing.

In the Nanjing Massacre, 300,000 people died, and Rabe saved 200,000 people. Every time he heard his story, his eyes would get a little foggy. Back then, how much courage he must muster to stand up for these The Chinese hold up a protective umbrella, which has nothing to do with him, nor should it be his responsibility. I think that after Rabe returned to China, he found that his deeds in China could not be accepted and understood by his homeland, his diary was confiscated, and he was laughed at. Now, did he regret that he should stay in China? never come back.

    I prefer Lu Chuan. I would rather believe that many of his feelings are true. Commercial hype is just a means of propaganda.

    Two shocking points, the ending of Rabe and the participation of Japanese actors. Rabe was such a forgotten name that such a hero of the Chinese people died due to house arrest and poverty shortly after returning home. Kagawa Teruyuki is worthy of respect and dare to take such a role. ps Details: For the first time, a movie revealed the crimes committed by the Japanese imperial family against the Nanjing Massacre.

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.
