This film is okay as a whole. It is a biography of a character. You can't think of it as a historical documentary, but by describing the character of Rabe, it indirectly describes some of the dark history of the Nanjing Massacre, mainly highlighting the In order to protect the people of Nanjing, several foreigners such as German Rabe, several other foreign doctors Wilson, and Ms. Weitling, the president of the Women's College, established an international protected area, reflecting the fearless humanitarian spirit. Think of it as a biographical genre, not a historical documentary, the biographical genre is definitely everything that highlights the main characters.

In the film, Zhang Jing's first student section is redundant, as if he wanted to describe the fact that Japanese devils raped women, and forced a faint emotional line.

It's ironic to think about, those soldiers need to hide in the women's college in the safe area, rather than go out and die heroically in the battlefield, only relying on the flag of the Nazi party can keep some Nanjing people away from artillery bombardment.

Mr. Rabe's later fate was quite tragic, because Germany and the Allies did not help him, and he ended up destitute and died after a stroke. But he is a great hero of the people of Nanjing, the people of Nanjing, the Chinese people will never forget him, the monument of her and her wife was moved to Nanjing, when the new crown epidemic was serious, his descendants asked China for help, and the Chinese people decisively extended Help.

    Rabe, a strong man. Morality. Rabe demonstrated what is righteous and virtuous.

    The story of Rabe, known as "Orient Schindler". It feels that the filming was average, not too shocking, and the intensity was not enough. The focus of the film was on Rabe, so the Nanjing Massacre itself did not render too much, but overall it is better than "Nanjing! Nanjing! "Much stronger. If you dare to take such a film, Kagawa Teruyuki deserves respect.
