“OK, the title is strong; this movie is nonsense. First, it has been u0026quot;americanizedu0026quot;, with John Rabe removed entirely and made into a u0026#39;niceu0026#39; American. If you really want a movie that depicts real people in real events (and still is a watchable movie!) – actually risking their lives to save people in Nanking, try the movie u0026quot;John Rabeu0026quot;, not this monstrous attempt to change history.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThat said, the movie does have wooden actors who march through scenes like sticks; bad make-up with children occasionally bloodied and dirty after a battle/bloodbath and left nicely washed the next part of the scene.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eConclusion? Donu0026#39;t bother. Somewhere there is an exciting clothes-dryer that needs watching – and that will provide a much better experience.”
