After watching the original book and watching the movie overnight, the mood is as follows. . . The protagonist is well found, the male protagonist and Rabe himself are very similar to the one-star narrative, smooth screen and soundtrack, but also the one-star original and one-star bad part⬇️ The first Jingchu character is superfluous and unreasonable, and the original book did not mention it at all, and It's very outrageous to add drama. A female student ran home in the middle of the night to deliver meals to her brother. It's OK, very reasonable. Then the Japanese soldier found out that he killed his father, wanted to rape his sister, and his younger brother under the bed secretly picked up a pistol? He killed the Japanese officer, and then the officer's younger brother was stunned, watching his own officer being shot by a seven-year-old in front of him. The eight-year-old child couldn't even draw a gun when he was killed. He stared at it, and then the child stopped for a while and then killed him as well... Later, the sister and brother were even more daring, in order to bury the bad guy The father who was killed, my sister put on the clothes of a Japanese officer, took my brother to bury the father, and then was discovered by the Japanese and started chasing me again, and the last foreigner (it seems to be France or the United Kingdom) rescued her , they began to fall in love. . . It's outrageous, I seem to be watching an anti-Japanese drama
The second is why you want to add a hidden emotional line to Rabe and the headmistress. In the original book, Rabe mentioned that he admired the headmistress, but it is true that they are nothing. Rabe loves his wife very much (and his wife has never been in Germany at all. I have been to China, let alone disagree with him building a safe zone), the female principal has never been married and never had children. I personally feel that this is a bit smeared.
The third is that as a film reflecting the reality of war, is there too much depiction of foreigners? In the original book, hundreds of girls are raped and killed every day, and the Japanese devils also forcefully take away the labor to work and rarely put it back... The portrayal of the suffering people is not even a virtual one and Rabe does not deal with it. That male number two (let's call him that). But since the director is German, it makes sense.
Rabe is not a perfect man nor a saint, but he is our benefactor.
I saw that "Rabe Diary" was photographed like this by Fan
I'm so sorry
