The fact that so few of us in Europe are aware of the atrocities that the Japanese carried out on the Chinese during the early part of the 20th Century shows that there was a need for this to be bought into the public arena. I Only discoverd it when reading an article in The Times and was sickened and horrified. Whether the way it has been told in this film, and the motives of the film makers was pure, I don't feel so sure of. But I definitely agree that it needed to be told. I can watch horrors or read about them happily if they are ficticious. But to view something so horrific that is a representatio of real events, I find impossible to watch without feeling guilty or sick. And I am someone who has witnessed some of what the worst horrors can depict for real!
