Brutal and Beautiful..

Rating: 10/10 (28 May 2012)

This is one movie not to be missed ! I don't know why Japanese hated the Chinese so much or its just the act of war and innocents are suffered and killed... I've only heard of the Rape of Nanking in WW2, but to watch its sheer intensity was tossing my tummy quite a bit and i couldn't watch some scenes.. This is a perfect movie depicting the war, love, lust, honor and sacrifice. The war scenes although few can match up to Saving Private Ryan. Those two Chinese stars take your breath away with their beauty and helplessness. Its quite a lengthy movie and the director makes the viewers gasp in awe and admiration in every scene he creates with the ambiance and atmosphere. I would say this movie is up there with the best of best in Cinema History.
