The whole film does focus on Rabe's life rather than the Nanjing Massacre. Many scenes in it are handled too plainly, so the background of the film seems pale and weak, but the portrayal of Rabe is still very perfect. About Nanjing The massacre, I know about mass graves and the beheading of a...

In 1937, Rabe, a German businessman who had lived in Nanjing, China for many years, and his wife Dora were preparing to return to China. He handed over the position he held in Siemens China to his heir. However, at the farewell ball that day, the Japanese army began to bomb Nanjing City, burn and...

After watching Zhang Chunru's "Nanjing Massacre" and then watching the movie, the scene in December 1937 is more realistically reflected from the perspective of the three foreigners who contributed the most to the rescue of the Nanjing people. The plane threw the "Japanese Army will treat you well"...

I prefer to call it the "Rabe Spirit". What he expresses is not the savior of the world, not the living Bodhisattva among the 250,000 people, but the human spirit that Rabe exudes in the face of that horrific situation. Light, as the lines say: I am just that kind of person. The important thing is...

Before I watched it, I was looking forward to it, but after watching it, I always felt that it was not enough.     The title of the film is Rabe's Diary, and the perspective of the whole film is really small, which reflects the limitations of the diary. The shooting technique of the whole film is...

Why don't Chinese people feel grateful for Rabe's love and sympathy from international friends in the first place? After all, "Rabe Diary" in a sense represents the emotions of international friends and the voice of the international community (in name, it was co-produced by China and Germany, but...

Rabe is undoubtedly a good man. The safety zone he set up in Nanjing has protected thousands of ordinary people in Nanjing. While watching this movie, I think of "Schindler's List" from time to time. Great people are always the same, they are ordinary people who hesitate for their own safety and...

Deliberately glorifying Rabe, of course, I'm not saying that it can't be glorified, but this film is obviously overly glorified, it obscures the real history. The truth is that women are raped every day in the safe zone. And, for Rabe, he was a Nazi party member, and it was impossible to laugh and...

Should I go back to Germany with my loved one or stay in war-torn China alone? To hand over 20 schoolgirls or to shoot more than 100 prisoners of war? What selection criteria should be used to select twenty out of dozens of prisoners of war? Is it to protect the school and yourself or to deliver...

This title is a bit harsh, the premise is that before greatness is forced out, there must be a mind of "truth, goodness and beauty", so that greatness can be nurtured. The reason why I say this is that I have such emotion after reading "The Diary of Rabe". Compared with "Nanjing, Nanjing", what I...
