If this is not an anti-Japanese film

As a woman, perhaps one of the biggest nightmares in life is being raped.

Imagine being tied to a chair by Wuhuada, legs spread apart and firmly tied to the armrest of the chair as if undergoing a gynecological examination, watching a man with animalism in his eyes plant his filth in your despair that you can't protect. You tell yourself, bear it, it will be over in five minutes, but then there are other men shouting dissatisfied outside, "Hurry up, it's me."

No matter how many movies you have watched, no matter how many action movies. The actress resisted the final devotion in a fake situation. As a woman, I tell you, this is not fun at all.

Rape is one of the most primitive means of conquering mankind. In the eyes of the rapist, this underneath him is not a person, but an organ. It is no different from the broken hands and feet full of Nanjing City, except that you can refresh him. However, letting go of the War of Resistance Against Japan, rape, as a means of conquest, nakedly stripped everyone's defenses away. Your knowledge, appearance, family affairs, relationships, status, and even age are irrelevant. You are a force.

It is precisely because of this that the thirteen hairpins in Jinling are particularly moving. No woman would willingly send herself into the hands of a bunch of beasts, this kind of thing will only appear in porn. In order to protect the thirteen female students, these twelve women who are like flowers and jade, who are accustomed to playing with men's careful thoughts, set foot on a truck driving to ravages, humiliation and death. Please do not lightly think "Oh, it's okay, people are professional." It is not a pleasant thing to let you become a venting tool from now on.

I don't want to go into the time when this story happened too much. It's too cheap to incite nationalism. Regardless of the Anti-Japanese War or the Eight-Power Allied Forces, the essence of war is to conquer, and the means of conquering are the same. Cardamom's experience continues to repeat itself in Darfur today. They even invented a method called ethnic cleansing. The conquering tribes will rape all women who have not had time to escape, regardless of their age, because according to local customs, these women will never be accepted by the original village, and the ultimate end is to walk in by themselves. The desert ends life (for those interested, please refer to National Geographic). No one knows how much humans have evolved.

Like I couldn't finish reading Zhang Chunru's The Rape of Nanjing, the war revealed the most despicable aspect of human nature. All morals, laws, and rules are collectively invalidated. Whether it is a soldier with a machine gun or an unarmed civilian, everyone will watch it day by day. Maybe a stray bullet will kill you. Because of the certainty of security, they kill, fight inwardly, and expose each other, thus destroying humanity. But it's all good, and the really scary thing is that you can't die after all this.

However, you can choose to save others.

    Well, the front is the Chinese sniper in Nanjing, the back is the American mortuary in China, and the middle is the urine spot. PS: Ooooooo, there are only twelve hairpins in Jinling, why? One of the hairpins is a boy pretending to be, dear.

    The film's values ​​are terrifying, a kind of natural exploitation of women, a kind of deep-rooted identity discrimination under the appearance of awe-inspiring righteousness and sensationalism. To exchange "noble" for "noble" in prejudice is hypocritical. Why are universal values ​​always in question in our films? It's like putting children on the battlefield in "Nanjing Nanjing". Then such a feeling is not cheap and sinful, but what else can it be?
