    Bell's acting is really amazing, completely genius, the story is a bit long, like a bean friend said, when you think it's over, there are still forty minutes. ....

    I actually wasted two and a half hours watching a silly little bear kid die. The scene of the Japanese Air Force salutes the labor captive bear children is disgusting to me, what a glorious image of aggressors! If it wasn't for Spielberg's filming of Saving Private Ryan, I really doubt that he fed the dog in three...

    [Exhibition at the China Film Archive] It was not seen as a 4K restored version in Shanghai, but it was fine to watch it in the archive. Christian Bale's acting skills as a teenager were so good. That serious look and eyes full of emotion have remained the same to this day. The images of British and American captives and Japanese are full. The opening and the middle of the film are magnificent and exciting, and two-thirds of the way begins to procrastinate until the end. This is a common...

    Bale has one star!!!!!!!!! I watched this film driven by curiosity about how Shanghai was in the anti-Japanese war under the lens of bale and foreigners; I really like the poster of this film, which subtly expresses a child in In the age of war, the desolation of the heart has been...

    It is undeniable that Spielberg has made many war films torturing human nature, which has been so profound in less than 20 years. Kristen Bell, amazing...

    The film made by pure Americans for Europeans and Americans to watch, although the environment in Shanghai is very real and the scene is very good, but the Chinese people in it are either ruffians or rabble, while Europeans and Americans and even Japanese have humanity and kindness in their eyes. Generally speaking, the real climax was that the Japanese guy was shot and killed when he picked up the saber to help the American guy cut the...

    The 13-year-old uncle BALE is so cute! ~ This should be the first HOLLYWOOD film in China~ The film is suspected of whitewashing a certain country. . . Music praise ~ with Ben Stler's dragon...

    I watched it when I was in college, I didn't know who Bale was at that...

    I think the background of the story is a good background, I like it more, I wanted to know about this war from the eyes of the Americans for a long time, I saw it, I didn't have a narrow understanding, and after reading it, I didn't think it was as many Chinese people said. Watching this movie is not good! Looking at the war from the protagonist---the British boy, he thinks it is still believable. He had received too much patriotic education earlier, and the scene of killing the Japanese as...
