it was really nice n well-worth the wk-end price for movies. its feels very historical, but very gd in knowing how lives were for ppl living under Jap rule in China. it reminded me much abt the nightmare tt i had last time, but tt fearful feeling has faded over time. perhaps its becoz it was only a dream. but i can't imagine how it would be like to really be living in tt kind of env, where fear surrounds u, n ur normal way of life was seriously disrupted.
the movie didn't end like those "happily ever after" movies tt we usually expect. the ang moh protagonist, George Hogg, died after resettling the boys in a safer place. n there were true accounts after the movie of how grateful the boys were to George Hogg for saving them. i really find it nice becoz he didn't fear death. he was really courageous to face up to the Jap soldiers again n again, n he truly wanted wad was best for the boys. n when he knew he was going to die, he didnt fear it.
alright better get back to my studies.. after really looking at the re-enactment of the Nanjing Massacre on the movie screen, i can't believe the Japs would still want to deny such a thing. no matter wad kind of national pride one has for a cty, such things cannot be hidden n white-washed into nothing. it just can't be done.
