Kindness knows no borders, everything is trivial before life and death

Personally, I find it quite ironic. When I saw "Rabe's Diary", when Rabe used the Nazi flag to save the lives of our Chinese people, when I thought of watching "Schindler's List", I thought Nazi Germany was really abhorrent, but in Under the iron hoof of the Japanese invaders, it has become a backing to protect China. Speaking of films, regarding historical films, it is necessary to have both the rigor of a documentary and the ability to empathize with every viewer. Personally, I think this film did it. On the way to watching the movie, I can't talk about facing the Nanjing Massacre, because it was too cruel and inhumane. I also saw the efforts of those people in the safe zone. I saw everything that happened in December 1937. . There is very little personal love involved, and the adaptation of the diary is also very successful. I think it's a good movie. Some insights from some clips: You joined the Nazi Party, so you were talking about this, eating cinnamon bagels in front of the portrait of the British King? As long as you stand up, we will give you hot soup, and with an order, the tanks will knock the prisoners to the ground. A subsequent officer stepped forward and fired a few more shots. When the last ship to leave Nanking was blown up by Japanese bombers, Rabe was overwhelmed with pain, because there were his wife Dora and tens of thousands of innocent people there. A few days before the Japanese troops approached Nanking, the Chinese troops decided to station outside the city, even if it didn't make much sense. But they are ready to sacrifice. Gentlemen, please listen to me, I have been in China for 27 years, and a place that can accommodate 100,000 people will definitely accommodate 200,000 Chinese. It turned out that the gunshots were not clear. Tutututu, the bullets that kept shooting out were heart-wrenching bullets. In the prisoner-of-war zone, Mr. Rabe saw a contest through the crack of the door: a contest of who could decapitate more of the enemy's heads. Who is the enemy, the enemy is the civilians who are helpless, the prisoners of war who have disarmed, and all the lives that the country is unable to protect under the weakening of national strength. Is an unsafe safe zone worse than not having it, they say they will take their own lives to defend the safe zone. — ? — Finally, I would like to thank those lovely and respectable people who have helped the Chinese people? : Robert.

    Watching the 2007 documentary "Nanking Nanking", the content about "John Rabe" reminded me of this "Rabe's Diary" that I knew many years ago but I haven't watched it in full, so I decided to continue to watch the movie: Nanjing University During the massacre, more than 200,000 people survived because of the protection of the safe zone. Nevertheless, the number of victims is staggering. Statistics show that at least 300,000 Chinese people have been killed. The Japanese government has not officially assumed responsibility for the Nanjing Massacre. After returning to Germany, John Rabe was arrested by the Gestapo as a Chinese spy. He was forbidden to tell about his experience in Nanjing. His diary was confiscated and only reappeared sixty years later. After the war, the Allies refused to show him a non-Nazi certificate at first. In 1950, Rabe died in Berlin in poverty and forgotten.

    The filming is not good, Zhang Jingchu's period is too much, but it is still five stars for Rabe's personal charm. When you can't choose your situation, background, and encounters, you can at least choose your attitude. The details of a group of Nazi parties eating bread and Nazi flags to shield refugees against the portrait of the British king are great. There are always people who do angelic things in the name of the devil.
