Initially i'm just watch for the sake of watching it so i can delete it.
(because i accidentally downloaded the blu-ray version and it's fuckig 11 gb)
it didn't took me long to dive into the film, and before long i was sucked in, together with the charms of christian bale. he really can pull it off.
but it all paid off.
beautiful cinematography.
very beautiful slow motions that capture the war scene.
2 words. beautiful & tragic.

A beautiful film.
a very beautiful film, about human love, the beautify of human nature.
people who inevitably weaved together in the presence of war.



alot of movies are made in relation to the infamous masscare during the war @ nanking.
u can read about nanking masscare on wiki.
well heartless are they? during the war, how they bought our motherland 6 feet under.
so brutal that they didn't even show mercy in churches and hospital.

the past is indeed jaded. and how dare they tried to hide it, hide their shameless sin from the future generations.
rape, murder, abuse, more than u can think of. of cos they are forgiven, but such things can never be forget.
and one little apology from a japanese girl touched my heart in the pages of the guest book from ford factory (i think, or was it some other historian museum).
it went along the line after her introduction with squarish hand writing in japanese while squeezing english translation in between, saying that she's really shocked and was so sorry that it all happened, and how sorry and ashamed that she felt..
i dk if it's all made up or what, but at least. that chunk of text touched me in the slightest bit

i'm a sucker for war films and war biographies and this film touched me in the many of their ways.

how noble were people then.
the earth was a better place if not for the war.
twisted beauty of human sacrificial.
there the flowers bloomed with their bloodstained pedals while bullets rained down from the heavens.
