"Nanjing, Nanjing" movie index ★★★★★★★★ Release time: April 22.

Plot introduction:

The film begins with the fall of Nanjing in February, 1937. Although a large number of Kuomintang soldiers fled the city, at the same time, there were still a large number of soldiers who did not want to surrender and launched hopeless and tragic resistance in the streets of the city. One of them is Lu (Liu Ye), the elite of the Kuomintang army.

After the resistance finally failed and the blood of hundreds of thousands of China people finally dyed the Yangtze River red, the whole city of Nanjing was reduced to death. The only thing left alive is the "safety zone" in Jinling Women's College. Here, a large number of refugees have temporarily gained a breathing space because of Rabe's "Nazi" status. The actual persons in charge of refugee work in the safe area are Rabe's secretary Tang () and the returned female teacher Jiang (Gao Yuanyuan).

However, in the eyes of the Japanese army, the so-called "safe zone" is just a "warehouse" that hoards a lot of female resources. And Rabe's German identity, in front of the powerful Japanese army, is just a fig leaf that can be torn off at any time. The women in China not only saved the men hiding in the refugee camps with their bodies, but also wrote a colorful history of China in front of Rabe.

The image-building of Japanese soldiers is a major breakthrough in this film. As occupiers, they can certainly enjoy a normal life in a sense. However, in Nanjing, a city where the factors of war have been greatly magnified, even the occupiers can't escape the shock and even torture of their own souls even if they are only faced with the humiliation and death of others.

Kakukawa (Hideo Nakaizumi) is an ordinary soldier of the Japanese 1st16th Division. Known as a "cultured man" by his teammates, he is sensitive and inexperienced, and never had a girlfriend even before he entered the war. And his companion captain Yita (Ryu Kohata) is already a veteran and professional soldier. In order to maintain the "life" of Nanjing as an occupier, I experienced various labor costs. Kakukawa finally made his choice: he sent two China survivors out of Nanking and then shot himself.

Media comments:

This film completely broke through the previous historical and literary works about the Nanjing Massacre, deliberately obliterated the existence of China people and distorted the "incompetent China people". It provides a brand-new perspective for the world audience to understand this period of history, and it is also a brand-new writing of the national image of China people in the Nanjing catastrophe. At a new height, it provides a brand-new historical thinking for this painful past in China history.

"money empire" is based on a sensational event in the history of Hong Kong police: during the rule of Hong Kong and Britain, the police were deeply involved with gangs, and black and white colluded to run illegal businesses, which not only caused tens of thousands of false and wrongful cases, but also intensified. According to real historical data, during the decade of 1963- 1973, the amount of corruption and bribery of police officers in Hong Kong was as high as 100 billion Hong Kong dollars, equivalent to 500 billion Hong Kong dollars today. More than 95% of the police officers in the whole police force were involved in this case to varying degrees. Since then, the Hong Kong Government has finally made up its mind to set up an "Independent Commission Against Corruption" to control serious corruption within the police force.

Director's comments:

Director Jing Wong said, "I grew up in that era when corruption was rampant, and I think I know that history very well. But in the process of writing the script, I came into contact with a lot of real historical materials and data, and the degree of shock was unimaginable. Although there have been Hong Kong film and television works with this theme before, they lack practical details. How does such a huge, lasting and unshakable empire work? How many terrible and even painful things has the newly established ICAC faced? I put many precious historical materials of the latest exposure into this film. "
