Extremely Affecting !

Rating: 10/10 (31 December 2011)

This is like the Asian Holocaust under the evils of the Japanese during the Sino-Jap war. It will grip your heart, makes it ache and will show you why monstrosity knows no limits when certain elitist races or people (hello Hitler Germany) think they are above mankind. The more shocking and repulsive aspect is, till today, the Jap government has denied the atrocities committed in Nanking and attempted several times to rewrite their school history text books; failing only due to the constant protest of the Chinese government and the integrity of its own purist historians.
An amazing movie with a brilliant Chinese cast, under the usual exceptional insightful direction of Zhang Yimou. The acting is so genuine that it's not possible not to be greatly affected by his powerful epic, unless you're a zombie. Then consider that it will be haunting too. Be warned!
