In Reply to: Is it my imagination, or is the entire Chinese film industry just one big exercise in reminding the Japanese posted by Doug Flynn on April 10, 2011 at 12:37:29:
...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.
