"The Hollywood Reporter" said: In Hollywood, only the crassest producers would inject sex into a disaster like the Nanjing Massacre, but this is the core element of "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling". The film is contrived and unconvincing.

That's right, if Zhang Yimou can greatly weaken the scenes of rape, sex scenes, and massacres, instead of using it as the biggest selling point and gimmick to earn the box office, he spends more pen and ink on the inner struggle and transformation of the characters, even if The arrangement of some bridge sections is a bit hypocritical and a bit unreasonable, and the Thirteen Hairpins is also a sincere work. This is really shameless, and it's not an exaggeration to give it a zero score based on this alone.

In addition, as a war film, blindly expressing the brutality of the enemy without any anti-war reflection, what else can it do except arouse the audience's hatred of the Japanese?
