If Vietnam produces an ancient war movie depicting the Chinese invasion and annex of Vietnam, any Chinese actors who take part in the movie will be branded a traitor by their fellow Chinese. The Japanese have taken part in war movies which portrayed the atrocities the WW2 Japanese army did to the Chinese, Koreans and Taiwanese.
Maybe a western audience wouldn't notice or even understand the difference between the Chinese and the Japanese, but a Chinese audience would expect that the Japanese troops to be played by Japanese actors and vice versa.
If anyone knows their history, or has even seen the film, they wouldn't be talking about how "cool" this scene is. It's not meant to paint the japanese in a positive light or negative one. But this scene screams with atrocity. Beautiful film, expertly crafted to show the inevitable truth of war.
The bandit-hooligans not only spread the red virus to the Koreans, but also brainwashed their people to take part in invading the Korea Peninsula, bringing calamities to the people of Korea, separating families, and resulting the Koreans still living in a hellish prison today. The Americans helped stop the communism poison from spreading and South Korea became a democracy, in which the people enjoy freedom, prosperity and human rights. When China decided to open up, South Korea, together with the US, Japan, Taiwan and Singapore supported it and participated in heavy investment, transfer of technology knowhow and sharing economic wisdom. All these countries are not framed as 'anti-China'.

Bro have you even seen this movie? This scene is in the aftermath of the battle in 1938. Also at the start of the movie in December 1937 it is snowing.
@@DarkStormProduction5the battle only lasted days, and in this scene you can see smoke and battle debris and the white boxes carried on the soldiers chests are the ashes of their comrades. All this points to the scene being just after the end of the fighting, scene it would still have been cold and icey, not summer conditions.
The movie is pretty accurate, but I think this they made up, basing it on traditional Japanese ceremony dances. The Japanese army had a traditional military parade. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Just from the dramatic point of view, this is much more gruesome, especially after the monstrosities we've seen.
stakisolo Agreed, I really like Japan in general. Not for their bloody history and the fact they didn't really apologized for their war crimes but this is amazing as hell, I remember having the chills when I saw it in theater...
Given that this is a Chinese made film, I will always remain amazed on how well the Chinese know so much about how Japan honors the dead. Yes, the Japanese made an egregious and unforgivable massacre that should be punished, at least it respects the culture of the time. I’m not Japanese but when I saw this with my Chinese and Japanese friends, I was amazed. Btw, we’re all still friends.
Nanjing Massacre During the Japanese occupation of China, an estimated 30 million Chinese were killed. In the Nanjing Massacre,at least 369,366 people were slaughtered and 80,000 women were raped by Japanese invasion troops. The horror began on the morning of December 13,1937, when the Japanese Imperial Army captured Nanjing, which was then China's capital. Thousands of women were raped by Japanese soldiers; death was frequently the penalty for the slightest resistance by a victim or members of her family. Many women were killed after the act and their bodies mutilated. For the next six weeks, while horrific rape continued, wholesale murder of male civilians was conducted with the apparent sanction of the Japanese high command.
It seems that the world is holding what the grandfathers of the Japanese did in WW2 but are very indulgent or even support what the Americans have done to the Afghanis, Iraqis, Libyans, Syrians and the Christian Serbs.
I believe they’re the cremated ashes of the soldiers who died during the siege. I’ve seen videos of these same boxes being given to the wives of Japan when the soldiers were shipped back home.
@天王平家万歳 Mauro Mejias your obviously missing the joke, i mean if you think im patriotic, you havent looked at my name, also the whole iran thing is over its been over 2 months
The western world doesn't realise that the average Japanese soldier had more respect and were more fearful of the Chinese troops (CCP or KMT) than they had of the American, British, Australian, Canadian, Indian, Gurkha, Fijian, etc forces. I am not sure of the exact numbers but I think that more Japanese troops were killed or wounded in the fighting in China than against the US, or the British Empire forces in either Burma, the Philippines, New Guinea and the Solomon Islands, and the Pacific Islands. This isn't meant to be a controversial comment, but according to the memoirs and the post war interviews with the survivors, many Japanese veterans said that many Japanese troops considered the Chinese troops to be a tougher enemy than the other opponents that the Japanese faced. My point is that few western people have any idea of the 8 years of fighting in China or the Chinese contribution to the defeat of Imperial Japan.
Your point is quite correct, I study history at university and when I tell them about the second Sino-Japanese war, they didn't even knew Japan ever invaded China...
It is a spiritual march. I don’t exactly remember it’s purpose but I think it was performed so the spirits of the dead soldiers would be able to return to Japan or something.
Are you serious? Please click my name and look into "nanking 1937" folder. There are real films and pictures taken nanking in 1937-1938. For sure, we do not believe Iris Chang.
If you're trying to say that the events depicted in this film are false that's some holocaust denial type shit. Second, this scene takes place well after the battle and massacre.
People with the "best culture ever" could not have ever brought themselves to savagely torture and murder millions of innocent people, men, women and babies.
Ok I'm going out to say this and take it as you will but Asians have been especially cruel to eachother for 1000s of years now the Japanese have been worse even before the 20th Century. Look at the Invasions of Korea in the 1500s....bringing loot they pillaged and trophies aka the heads of the Koreans they killed. Mostly civilians. This shit isn't new....it isn't even just set in just Asia or Japan! This shit has been going on since we Humans discovered we could kill eachother just by looking a little different! Numbers of bodies doesn't matter! Crime is a fucking crime! Nothing that will change what happened! Whinning about it wont help. No matter what happens this will happen again with another militaristic culture. All we can do is be aware and hope and work as hard as possible to minimize its affects and maybe even prevent it from happening again but us yelling at others and eachother on the internet on our comfortable sofas or chairs is NOT doing shit. So....hush and watch.
They weren't brave back then, brace men don't torture and eat defenseless civillians and pows. The Japanese had written orders stating they could eat people who weren't japanese.
You know, the Chinese die more is the communist revolution than when they were under the Japanese Occupation. Not that it's right to kill people, I am just saying.
China is shamelessly and ungratefully bullying little Taiwan, Vietnam and has been bullying the Tibetans and Uighurs. The Han Chinese expanded its territories by bullying and invading the homelands of the minorities. China invaded and annexed Vietnam in the past for more than a thousand years. The Chinese have never felt guilty or shameful that in the previous century, it exported the communism poison to the Korean Peninsula and Indo-China, bringing calamities to their people. Are you not aware of Malaysia and Singapore were also victims. Do you know the Chinese in Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Burma and Indonesia suffer atrocities as a result of China's spreading its Maxis venom to the region. Go study modern history. China has always been bullying the weak but has never have the guts to confront powerful nations, such as Japan and Russia.
@@penggoh9934 i believe the japanese does this dances during ww2 after slaughtering hundreds of thousands of civilians. This particular scene is during the rape of nanking.
For a Chinese movie, it's just amazing how much talent they brought over from Japan to make the dancing and the drumming accurate.
The dance was made up for this movie. There are taiko drum clubs all over the world, so don't be surprised that those are Chinese drummers.
Matrim Cauthon they are japanese believe me. The director confirmed it

This is a great take on a harvest dance, it is completely made up, but the aspects of it being the harvest are undeniable.
