same story

I watched "Nanjing Nanjing" first, so I also paid a lot of attention to "Rabe's Diary" with the same story theme,
but I didn't shake my head until I watched it in the theater today. Obviously, foreigners' filming of our story is really not deep.
Zhang Jingchu is obviously just a vase-like character
and has done nothing but foolishly introducing Japanese people to the school.
Oh, wrong, she also sparked an unspecified ambiguous relationship with a foreigner. It's incredible
that the development of the story is also mixed with Rabe, that foreign female teacher, and Mrs. Rabe's somewhat boring love triangle, which is really unflattering.
Apart from these, the war scene is almost zero, or it directly quotes history. The picture and the reenactment of the famous Japanese officer's "killing contest", or a group of foreigners dressed up to have a party at Christmas, the good and evil among Japanese officers, and some inexplicable plots
, it feels completely I can't grasp the point. After I read it, I don't have any profound place.
Maybe foreign directors are not so profound about our history. They try to understand it in their own way,
but they still highlight the kind of personal heroism. They can't let go of it. The love elements and the nondescript war killing scenes finally made up this movie.

In fact, maybe this movie is not so bad,
but it can only be blamed that his release schedule is repeated with
, but is better than him. It's so good
, that's why this movie feels a lot worse than expected

    It is really quite satisfactory. The biggest highlight is the nude scenes. The Heng Piao group will charge 1,000 yuan for a nude scene. It is estimated that the scene cost 30,000 yuan to get in. The slow-paced control is okay, and the screenwriters are not too exposed. It is the work of this kind of theme. Another interesting point is that the German and British people perform on the third party in China. There is cooperation and complaints, and the design is still Very interesting

    There are three places in the play that make me cry: 1. Rabe lets refugees escape the bombing of Japanese planes under the banner of the Nazis (someone always does angelic things in the name of Nazis, just like some people do devil things in the name of God); 2. Rabe abstained when the Security Committee was established. Another doctor was dissatisfied with Rabe’s chairmanship and voted against it. However, they still obeyed the voting results and assumed the chairmanship and vice chairmanship (this is a sense of responsibility!); 3. The people who saved 200,000 people were killed. Forgotten and poor
