Thank you Uncle Rabe

Before, I only knew that Schindler saved the Jews, but now I know that Rabe saved so many Chinese people. Strange, why was this film made so late? And the director is a foreigner.
To be honest, if it wasn't for the subject matter of this film, I would at most give it three stars. It is also a movie about redemption. I think this movie is far from Schindler's list. Maybe it's because the characters are a bit stereotyped, the exposure of human nature is not in place, and the brutal performance of the massacre is also a little worse. The director wants to tell the story from so many perspectives of the Japanese army, Chinese civilians, Rabe, and foreign humanitarians. Personally I don't like to say.
The last thing I want to say is: Thank you Uncle Rabe, and hope that the world will always be at peace.

John Rabe quotes

  • Colonel Nakajima Kesago: He disobeyed the rules by not staying in the car.

    John Rabe: He didn't stay in the car? His head was cut off!

    Colonel Nakajima Kesago: It was an honorable death. A contest between two officers. Very popular in Japan.

    Colonel Nakajima Kesago: Who decapitates the most enemies.

  • 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.
