Powerful and touching movie that shows the inner struggle of the enemy
My husband and I just watch this movie. Many reviews complained about the sex violance, etc. From the very start, this movie brought us to the time of Japanese occupance. The students, for love of their own country, they fight for the believe "China should not fall". The play was so touching, I was in tears. It carries the strong emotion of the hate to the Japanese occupance. Wang Zhi Jia, the hero in this movie, a beautiful college freshman, didn't talk much, but brave and determined. I was amazed by her secrifing own body in order to accomplish the mission. As she got closer to Mr. Yee, the simple conversation showed us the inner struggle and the fear of this very powerful political leader. The sex violances deeply expressed the darkness, madness and inner struggles. It was very properly used. As movie develops, we saw a slightly warm and kind part of the evil Mr. Yee. Can't really say it is romans. She saw beyond the target of enermy. Very good move. Highly recommend.
