"The Good Rabe"
Cameron 2022-04-21 09:03:23
Rabe is undoubtedly a good man. The safety zone he set up in Nanjing has protected thousands of ordinary people in Nanjing. While watching this movie, I think of "Schindler's List" from time to time. Great people are always the same, they are ordinary people who hesitate for their own safety and well-being, but in the end they will lend a helping hand. Zhang Jingchu's short hair style is pitiful. In the danger of Nanjing's fall, Rabe saved countless lives. Because I watched the Chinese dubbed version, I was very dissatisfied with the dubbing in it. The characters spoke bluntly without any emotional color. The Mr. Brown in "Reservoir Dogs" in the film became more and more friendly, especially the pair of big bags under the eyes.

John Rabe: To the Führer of the German people. Chancellor Adolf Hitler. My Führer. As a loyal party member and upstanding German. I turn to you in a time of great need. The Japanese Imperial troops conquered the city of Nanking on December 12, 1937. Since then I have witnessed atrocious crimes against civilians. Please help to end this catastrophe and make an appeal to our Japanese allies in the name of humanity. With a German salute.
