The prostitutes and girls

Rating: 7/10 (8 December 2013)

Movie of The flowers of war is a Chinese historical drama war (Second Sino-Japanese War in 1937) film which is released at 2011. When the Japanese invades Nanjing, China in December, there are some Chinese girls who hide in the church with American missionary, from Japanese soldier's attacking. Someday, Chin-haw-I river's prostitutes invade the church to hide and live in the church. However, the girls don't like street girls because they are rude. When the Japanese soldiers came the church to look, the prostitutes hide in the room where the girls usually hide. The girls are in trouble, but the soldiers cannot find anyone in the church fortunately. After this big emergency, the prostitutes feel really sorry to the girls. Japanese chief executives visit the church and hear the song of the girls accidentally. So, executive gives the invitations to all girls and request that every girl has to join the Nanjing occupation party of Japanese soldiers. However, they are invited for comfort women in the party. So the girls knew it already and decide to suicide together, but the prostitutes stop them. And, the prostitutes decide to go party under the disguise of the girls, because the prostitutes thought the girls cannot go back to church forever and they don't want the girls to live like them, prostitutes. At the party day, the prostitutes leave the church instead of the girls..
I couldn't stop crying during movie time, because I totally understand feeling of the girls and street girls. The saddest scene is when one of the street girls play Chinese traditional music for the girls at night when they disguise. I think, the girls respect the prostitutes, they aren't enemies each other because they worry each other to stay safe. It was a chance to think about the Korean comfort women for Japanese soldiers in the Japanese colonial era. I really pray for all the comfort women of Chinese and Korean in the war. Lastly, I would recommend to watch this movie and think about something what we must not to do.
