The story of the film is based on the Nanjing Massacre during the Anti-Japanese War. It tells the touching story of Nanjing, China, which was occupied by the Japanese army in 1937, and the touching stories happened between people who did not know each other in a church. An American who pretended to be a priest in order to save people, a group of schoolgirls hiding in a church, 14 women who escaped the war, and soldiers and wounded soldiers who resisted desperately. A tragic covenant of death

Compared with the original work, the film adds a story line that shows the bloody struggle of the Chinese people, showing the bloody and indomitable spirit of the Chinese people. There are also a lot of war scenes in the film, but there are no big scenes that are too emphasized. I hope to impress the audience with the details of the war scenes.

There is no distinction in life for anyone, so the ending makes people feel helpless and sad...

    Director Zhang, do you want patriotism or love? I wasn't impressed in any way. Maybe the story is preconceived, and seeing the feat of the thirteen hairpins, I don't even feel that it is very moving. The heroine and Bell are not on the same stage at all, the aura is too weak, and there is no sense of surprise; in addition, George and John are the official match! ! !

    I didn't expect much of the movie because I had read the original. That's right, this is a "scheming" movie in which every element deliberately moves closer to the "good" direction. War scenes enlarged for commercialization, group dramas weakened for popularization, and character settings completely changed for Bell’s performance... But when I saw that cardamom and Lanxiang were caught, I followed the long shot and thirteen. Chai sang the scene of Qin Huai Jing in a row, and I really thought it was quite intentional.
