In the war of Japanese aggression against China, what John Rabe did can indeed be called great, but this film was invested and produced by Germany, and even the director and main actors were German actors. This image is somewhat deified. Although in history, Rabe at that time was not understood after returning to Germany, but in this period, Rabe is undoubtedly a hero in the hearts of Germans, especially in the current period when the theme of World War II is generally popular, so such a film It's not surprising that movies can receive so many awards and attention in Germany. If we only talk about the level of film production, it is not very classic. In the film, the Japanese army only showed brutality, but it did not lose humanity. The real situation is that in the disaster of the Nanjing Massacre, The Japanese army has not only lost its humanity. . .
I don't like Zhang Jingchu's performance very much. In the Nanjing Massacre, the Chinese people should feel very scared. It is really impossible to see it in her. In this movie, almost all her plots can be ignored. . .

    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.

    The most terrifying thing is war, and the most precious thing is feelings. Ashamed of my lack of this history!

John Rabe quotes

  • 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]

  • John Rabe: Stop it! This is the safety zone. Get out and leave the women alone.

    [Rabe switches to German and makes a Nazi salute]

    John Rabe: We're Germans. Germans. We're Germans.

    [Japanese officer aims his pistol at Rabe]

    John Rabe: Help me out here, damn it!

    Dr. Georg Rosen: [Rosen also makes a Nazi salute] Heil... Shitler. Heil Shitler.

    John Rabe: [after resolving the situation] That's not funny.

    Dr. Georg Rosen: We got through.

    John Rabe: All the same, he is the Führer of the German people.

    Dr. Georg Rosen: And shall I tell you what I don't find funny?

    John Rabe: Yes what is it?

    Dr. Georg Rosen: It also concerns the so-called Führer.

    John Rabe: Listen here...

    Dr. Georg Rosen: Friedrich Rosen, my father. An ambassador and foreign minister, forced to flee and die in China. Simply because my grandfather, Beethoven's best friend, no less, happened to be Jewish. My father couldn't die in the country he always lived for. That's not funny. Nor is my position as secretary. After years as embassy councillor. I should be glad to even be alive. Do you think that's funny?

    [Rosen makes a Nazi salute]

    Dr. Georg Rosen: Heil Shitler.
