The film was co-produced by China, Germany, and Australia. The financial strength is very strong, so the filming is very quality. There are few scenes such as the dance party of the foreigners in the Shanghai concession and Nanjing in the flames of war, but the art props are still very well done, which gives people a kind of immersive feeling. This also reflects the professional attitude of foreign filmmakers. Even if the scene is only a few minutes or even a few shots in the film, they will still do it at any cost to ensure the quality of the entire film. Of course, the premise is that they also have money.
The Nanjing Massacre was only described once in a flash. The Japanese soldiers were very cunning. They first covered the heavy machine guns with cloth, and then gathered scattered civilians together and rushed to the front of the machine guns. When the cloth was removed to expose the machine guns, these innocent Chinese civilians realized what, Started to cry and scream. After the machine gun was fired, the Japanese soldiers checked for live openings one by one, and when they found the live openings, they added a shot. The method of disposing of the corpses is to pile them up into a hill and burn them.
George witnessed the whole process and took many photos. After the Japanese caught him, they were very polite at first, and George could also chat with Japanese military officers in Japanese. But after the photo was printed and placed in front of the Japanese officer, the Japanese army did not hesitate to pull him out and behead his head. He was rescued by Jack Chen and did not die. The two other reporter friends who came with him got a headshot even though they had passes.
In order to cover up their atrocities, the Japanese even dared to kill foreign reporters. So in Nanjing, there is nothing they dare to do. Yiye Zhiqiu, although the film has only a few stories about the Nanjing Massacre, one can imagine the whole situation.
All that George did for the children in Huangshi reminds me of all the heroes in "The Kingdom of Heaven" did for the people in his fief. He digs wells for his subjects, cultivates wasteland, and all serves the people, and George serves the children. We repaired generators to bring electricity, tree basketball stands for children to play, plant vegetables for children to eat, and teach children English. They are all doing "meaningful things", and they all admire and touch me.
Li, after coming to China for five years, she has been running around in various places to rescue the wounded soldiers, civilians injured in the war, and the sick people. But she is indeed an Australian. In addition to reminding me of Bethune in Canada, she also reminds me of Bethune in Canada. I am reminded of the 2007 film "The Veil", which was adapted from a real-life event. The doctor played by Edward Norton took the initiative to go deep into the mainland of China to rescue Chinese people infected with cholera. They are all internationalists. In their eyes, there are no Chinese, British, Canadians, or Australians. Some are just people who are sick or injured and need help.
Two foreigners, George and Li, took care of more than 60 orphans for us Chinese. However, a Kuomintang officer wanted to requisition the children’s school. For this reason, George was thrown into prison. The officer said that the missionaries, the Communist Party, and the Japanese have harmed China for so many years, and this should end. An awe-inspiring look. He embarrassed all Chinese people.
Of course, not all Chinese are like this. The chief executive of Lanzhou not only didn't embarrass George and the others, he also gave them four trucks. It is with these Chinese people that China is not over, and there is always hope.
Michelle Yeoh’s appearance in the film made me feel astonished. In "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", she was made too old, and in "Flying Eagle" she was pretended to be tender again, and the youth was overwhelming. I felt her beauty from the inside out. Wearing a cheongsam shawl, she has a noble temperament, elegant manners, and a standard lady-like temperament.
In the film, there was a moment, a very ordinary moment, and tears filled my eyes. During the march, a bandaged wounded soldier fell to the side of the road dying. Li went to check and gave him an injection for treatment. A Chinese doctor came over and put Lila in the car and said don't save him. He was no longer able to do it. Li walked in the car and turned her head. At this time, the film gave a close-up shot of the wounded soldier's face. Seeing this close-up shot, I burst into tears. What kind of face is that, with bandages on one side, blood stained, and eyes full of helplessness and despair. A wounded soldier was lying on the side of the road, completely unable to move. He could only wait to die slowly. I don’t know what kind of mood it was. At this moment, when the Chinese doctors ignored him, a foreign female doctor came. Help yourself, I don't know what kind of mood it is.
