Excellent movie!
The movie had a great cast and the story was well put together offering a heart wrenching and multifaceted glimpse into the suffering and pain the Japanese inflicted upon the Chinese during that war. It broke my heart and at the same time illustrated a touching heroicism. Zhang Yimou is an awesome director.

well done movie but so painful to see such anguish the japanese caused. war is a terrible thing. soldiers are meant to die in wars but to see civilians devastated is so very sad.

as a child my parents used to tell us about the monstrosities committed by the japanese: chinese would line up, kneel in front of a pit, get beheaded and the bodies would be kicked into the pit; a neighbor had his ear chopped off; women were raped; people were forced to leave their babies on the streets because others feared if they cried, they would be found in their hiding places and killed. so many other stories that have not been told. even though the japanese have not been portrayed to the fullest extent the horrific jackals they are, i am happy bale decided to be in this movie. thank you.
