Flowers Indeed

Rating: 7/10 (5 December 2018)

A mortician called to a church in war torn Nanking finds a group of teenage girls, along with one teenage boy, who are alone, scared and trying to stay alive. Not long after his arrival, a group of ladies from the red light district find their way into the church while seeking safety and shelter. The Japanese soldiers are never too far away and all too eager to violate young girls. The mortician starts out as an unlikeable character, he soon has a change of heart and sets out to try and help the group find their way out of Nanking.
This is a good movie. I think that it showed the atrocities of war without being too graphic even in the most brutal of moments. There is a bit of a romantic angle playing out but it is mainly a wartime drama.
My disappointment was in wanting more from the ending. I also wished there had been more suspense in the film. In my opinion, it's not the best but is better than just average. Not a bad watch.
