[QUOTE]The film deals with the Battle of Nanjing and its aftermath during the Second Sino-Japanese War. City of Life and Death takes place in 1937 during the Imperial Japanese Army's capture of the then-capital of China, Nanjing. the capture of the capital and the ensuing bloodshed is known as the Nanking Massacre, or the Rape of Nanking; a period of several weeks when tens of thousands of Chinese soldiers and civilians were killed. The film tells the story of several figures, both historical and fictional, including a Chinese soldier, a school teacher, a Japanese soldier, a foreign missionary, and John Rabe, a Nazi businessman who would ultimately save thousands of Chinese civilians.

One of the best movies I've ever seen, it really shows the horror of the Japanese. It really is like Schindler's List. And the acting, the way its shot, is also brilliant. If possible, you guys should watch this.

I watched this a long time ago, great movie , fucking brutal, with drama mixed in.
Like the first half of the movie is just pure genocide and mass executions.
After that there was a lot of rape. Japanese making plans to rape as much women as possible. ( And the mental mental degradation of the main character )

It was a lot deeper than that tough, the ending really got me.
