    Three and a half. Sure enough, as I expected, the fatal mistake that Nanjing Nanjing made was not made in this movie. This is a very dramatic melodrama. Don't equate it with realist films or documentaries. It is this purity that makes it higher than the four dissimilarities in Nanjing. This film is also more touching than Nanjing, a little fanciful, the first half is obviously better than the second half, Zhang Jingchu's plot is a...

    I read Nanjing Nanjing and Rabe's diary at the same time, and I have to say that the latter is much better. Nanjing Nanjing is a running account with no storyline and only bloody...

    After watching "Nanjing! Nanjing! After reading "Rabe Diary", I have a trace of regret, and I always feel that there is something wrong; I don't feel anything special about "The Diary of Rabe". There are not many depictions of the cruelty of war, and many are even obtained from the mouths of the characters, which cannot bring out the protagonist. What a respectable thing to do in the context of that era. The director is not a storyteller. Although the clues of the story are very clear, the...

    Maybe it's a matter of perspective, so I feel that the director is doing this with an attitude of staying out of the way, and the Nanjing Massacre is just a background, but I can't watch the film with an attitude of being out of the way. Maybe he wanted to express too much, so it seemed too bland in...

    I have to admit that foreigners understand the Nanjing Massacre much better than we do. In addition to hating the atrocities of the Japanese fascists, we should also remember the Chinese compatriots who died tragically, those foreign friends who showed humanitarian spirit. The compassion and justice shown by Dr. Wilson and Ms. Dupree in the film is more precious than Mr. Rabe. Also pay tribute to the Japanese actors who participated in the...

  • Dr. Robert Wilson: I don't like Nazis.

    Valérie Dupres: He isn't a Nazi.

    Dr. Robert Wilson: Yes he is.

    Valérie Dupres: He's just a member of the party.

    Dr. Robert Wilson: Which makes him a Nazi.

    Valérie Dupres: Are you a member of the church?

    Dr. Robert Wilson: Yeah, so what?

    Valérie Dupres: What do you think of witch burning?

    Dr. Robert Wilson: Ah, well, looking at you, maybe it wasn't such a bad idea.
