MOMENTAN AUSVERKAUFT
Über dieses Produkt
Product Information
In 1937, Japanese armed forces entered Nanking, China, and systematically raped and killed over 200,000 Chinese in one of human history's worst atrocities. Decades later, there's still bad blood and unresolved tensions. This wrenching documentary from Bill Guttentag and Dan Sturman combines harrowing archival footage, interviews with survivors (including contrite Japanese vets), and reenactments with actors Woody Harrelson, Stephen Dorff, Mariel Hemingway, and Jurgen Prochnow (as a Schindler-like member of the Nazi party), reading from the diaries of real-life heroic westerners who set up a safety zone in attempt to shelter the hundreds of thousands of refugees from the city. Though this element adds some much-needed hope for humanity, this is still a deeply upsetting documentary. It's very well made and should be considered required viewing, but be warned: some of the rarely-before-seen archival footage is truly graphic and disturbing. Based on the bestselling book, THE RAPE OF NANKING by Iris Chang, this documentary makes effective use of a quietly shattering Kronos Quartet score. The film is presented in English, Japanese, and Mandarin with English subtitles.Product Identifiers

Stunning historical depiction of the rape of Nanking.
This film is a stunning depiction of the tragedy of Japan's invasion of Nanking in 1937 (commonly referred to as "The Rape of Nanking). This is an important historical documentary type of movie that details the shocking massacre that resulted from that invasion, and relies on the eye witness accounts of foreigners living there when the attack took place to tell the story. The actors did an outstanding job portraying these eye witnesses accounts, and it is commendable that HBO produced such a testimony to this massacre. The people of Nanking, and also Shanghai, are (at the very least) deserving of having their suffering at the hands of the Japanese remembered in such a respectful and honest way.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
