"pulled" diary

I don't know if it's due to the dubbing, but the whole film feels fake to me. Especially the protagonists, let's talk about Rabe first. He doesn't seem to want to play the role of a savior, and has been pushed as the supreme leader from the very beginning. In the middle of the economic crisis, I retreated, and when I was desperate, it was nothing but the idea of ​​​​getting on a pirate ship. Rather than consciously and subjectively setting up a safe zone to save people, it is more about maintaining the safe zone instinctively. What's more, he was the first to leave in the end, and followed the example of several other colleagues, (a female teacher who hid prisoners of war, a straight-hearted doctor, a meticulous diplomat.) I really don't see why Rabe enjoys thousands of people. Qi Hu treatment.

The role of Zhang Jingchu was designed inexplicably. The little girl knew that the world outside the circle was not peaceful, but she went over the wall every night. At first, I thought she wanted to learn from the war reporter to take some realistic photos so as to expose the ugly behavior of the Japanese, but it turned out that this child was not for the purpose of taking pictures of handsome guys. Just to give rations to my younger brother, the former reason is justified, after adolescence, seeing handsome guys take pictures and keep them in the sleeves of clothes, it is still worthwhile to meet and exchange nude photos with others in the future. The latter reason is quite puzzling to me. Even the rations of the hundreds of wounded soldiers in the safe zone can be concealed, so you can't mess around with your little brother or what? Could it be that your brother is the legendary rice bucket? This almost harmed the yellow-flowered girl in a room.

That prince of birds is also quite cola, and the killing of prisoners of war, which violates international law, has to be expressed boldly in front of everyone in the war room. Anyone who has gone to elementary school knows the difference between words and meanings.

The director must have read our classic total score and echo writing style. Rabe's wife escaped on the boat with relief and finally Rabe reunited with his wife surrounded by thousands of people. Not only the location is the same, but even the extras are the same. There is no need for the director to teach the second time. Everyone just waved back and forth like watching a concert. Arm, just wave. I didn't look carefully, maybe some people made LUV gestures...

When it comes to the extras, I suddenly thought of one thing, which is also an incident of hiding the flag that the director described heavily. During the early bombing of Nanjing, Rabella carried a Nazi flag and hid hundreds of civilians from the fighting. This was a good thing, but the director made everyone shout after the bombing, oh yeah, we won, we didn't get bombed... It really made me cold.

To tell the truth, comparing this film with Nanjing is blaspheming the IQ of the Chinese moviegoers, and biopics can easily be made into a high-profile format. The director seems to be paying attention to this, so he can always see the over-obvious plots where he tries to blend good and evil, such as the passive Rabe and the informative Japanese. There are still many shortcomings that I don't want to enumerate. In short, this is a glorious film that can be screened in the projection room of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and sings praises of the great National Socialist fighter Rabeco's life.
