Would rather not have viewed it.

Compared to the atrocities actually committed in Nanking, the film was very very mild indeed.

reply

Yes, it is drama, not a Documentary.

It is a VERY fair depiction of what the Japanese did.




620,000 whites died to free black slaves and not a single thank you yet.

reply

So you then approve of what Pres Hussein Obama did? 😣

What does his visit to Japan have to to do with the accuracy of this film?

You don't get the brutality, you mentioned, to soldiers, including US ones, and his glorification of these barbarians?

You seem to be all over the place on this thread. You stated it's a drama and not a documentary. Now you want to talk about Obama and his recent trip there. I merely stated that the film is an accurate depiction of the destruction and brutality of the Japanese in Nanking in WWII. Would it be possible for you to focus on one item, concluding it, before moving on?

All 620,000 whites died to free black slaves? Weren't about half of them from the Confederacy? Besides, I thought the idea was that "the Civil War wasn't about slavery"? A good argument can be made that it wasn't, or only at the very end of the war. How come blacks were lynched in New York City during the Draft Riots if everyone died to save slavery? Apparently not every at the time thought they were fighting to free blacks.

He's talking about 'Barry's' visit to Hiroshima.





Why can't you wretched prey creatures understand that the Universe doesn't owe you anything!?

For me the movie, while often harrowing, is a testimony to the potential for nobility of the human spirit in even the most desperate of times. As another poster has commented the film only hints at the horror of the actual events .

I agree. I'd rather not have seen it & I tend to prefer depressing movies. This was brutal but not in a way that I found useful. Just because brutality is real, & people live atrocities every day, doesn't mean we need to live our lives steeped in the horror if we can help it. "Lilya 4-ever" may be the most brutal movie I've seen & I could never see it again, but I'm not sorry I saw it. It was so important & it serves an important purpose. "Nobody Knows" was almost unbearable but I'm glad I saw it. This one sort of revelled in the hideousness. Hard to put in to words, just how I feel.
