Great movie indeed.
We'll have to agree to disagree about global warming until the next global cooling scare comes along
When I was visiting Vietnam a few years ago I watched a fair amount of Chinese channels--documentaries and such. It largely centered around "China's victory" over Japan. Never mentioned the fact that China failed and it was America's victory.

from China about its two devastating earthquakes of the past decades.
Was there in China the same KZ´s and will to kill millions of people? Organized massacres?
Was there. yo learn nothing Tin you are the definitive anti-Semitic old goad.
strong supporter of Israel, the Holocaust is a great vehicle for deflecting hardships visited upon the Palestinians.
And you seemed to miss my point: it was the Japanese that were vicious, very similar in their genocide to the Germans.

...Which is is a click or two under 500,000. Then rape and murder 300,000 of its men, woman and children. How about that for a lottery win? It was 4 years before the attack at Pearl Harbor (Most Americans will never let that go, rightfully I'll posit). The world powers did nothing. The Japanese have never really stood up and accepted the colossal guilt for the crimes. Maybe these film makers made this film just to remind people with selective memories, that genocide is unacceptable, and that justice for those crimes have no expiration date. Then again, maybe this is like the torture porn films that the US industry cranks out like sausage for its dull witted masses, ie...Nanking equals big box office, who knows? Your lottery comment sound disingenuous, speaking more of an animus towards the Chinese economic dominance, than a criticism about the legitimacy of the film's theme. In a world where these crimes still occur with frequency, a film like this has important value. That's a Ferrari they earned the pink slip for. That being said, I couldn't bear to sit through a film like this. Too upsetting.
They probably think Pearl Harbor was a greater humanitarian disaster when it actually wasn't.
Pearl who?
How many people died as a result of 9/11 vs. as a result of Pearl Harbor?
Americans such as you against Muslims, in general? I see NO evidence of any forgetfulness, sorry. I doubt among your righty radical friends you see any of it, either.

many works I've seen have made such films.
But even if they had, is it that unusual? How many Vietnam films has the US produced? Hell, Iraq is still going on and we've had more than a few, as well. And.... Clint Eastwood not long ago directed two war films about our dust-up with the Japanese. Our losses in the Pacific were miniscule compared to those of China.
It must be something else that's bothering you about the Chinese. Loss of an outsourced job, perhaps?
just more than China could make movies of their incursions and barbarism.
