    Hogg stubbed his toe while playing basketball with the boys. It became infected with tetanus and some boys left town to get medicine. To comfort Hogg until he died, the boys sang nursery rhymes he had taught them."

    -Brandon

  • Very beautiful story i couldnt imagine it happen in real life the british guy is a hero.

  • JOOOOOOOOOOOOHNATHAN!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!! ;-) luv u

  • WOW Absolutely great movie. I have not seen a good movie for a while but this one deserve to be seen. Most of the movies this days are shity but this one is awesome

  • a great honest movie, glade to see someone spending money to make a film which capture the truth of the history of what happened. And please don't send me a message and go, oh, the chinese done worst killing bluh bluh, cos this is not what it is about, Is about what happened,and face it, then learn, and never to learnt this things happen again, i believe the japanese soldiers wouldnt feel any better killing innocents ppl,and they have only done it cos of their loyalty to their evil empire.

  • @jazzysam1314 In some way I agree. yes, Japanese soldiers killed many innocent ppl and used poor children but what we have nowadays? They learnt their mistakes UNLIKE CHINESE. China is still one of the Biggest  HEARTLESS Agressors in the world along with Russia and Iraq.

  • @Magnolia296 That's not exactly fair. I agree that China's human rights policy is appalling, but Japan has definitely NOT learned from its atrocities. I majored in Asian Studies, and most native-Japanese students knew nothing of Nanjing or of "comfort wives" because that information is censored in Japan. Korea, China and SE Asia are still waiting for an apology and have yet to receive one.

  • ahora si no una nominacion a los oscar!

  • Great plot and storyline but the main actor totally killed this movie.

  • NOT ENOUGH CHOW YUN FAT IN THE MOVIE. And I am tired of these white savior of the ethnics movies. How about the other way around for a change?

  • Because this is based on a true story. George Hogg was a real man who came to China found the orphans and rescued them. Why does it matter if he was white or chinese? He was a hero.

  • @JetsChick : I Respect you views.

    We have to Accept people Regardless of their Race.

    He was a Great Man.

  • CHOW YAN FAT! :P

  • this movie is kinda like marmite- ya luv it or ya hate it- i luv it- my movie of the year-maybe the best ive ever seen-the first 2 make me cry!! a MUST see- i watch it evertym its on sky premiere-cnt wait 4 dvd!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Hmm, I saw this film on Sky Premiere yesterday and I thought it was OK. Why do you lot hate this film? I don't get it. It should atleast get 3.5 stars rather than 1.5

  • Very Good Movie..... Id Recommend It watching It :)

  • Watch the last emperor its miles better than this drivell.

  • I'm surprised this movie isn't made in China. It has every cliche of a CCP propaganda film. Brutal japanese invaders? check. pro-chinese white guy? check. Chinese orphans whose parents have been killed by Japan? check. And NRA bashing? check. Looks like it's all here!

  • wheres it made?

  • It's directed and produced by European people, so it's not made in China.

  • Actually it was filmed in China such locals used were the Gobi desert, and Lanzhou which runs along the ancient Chinese silk road. The cinematography of this film played a huge part and it indeed was all China

  • But the producer and director were European, the writers were American (I think). It's just filmed in china. Besides, this movie bombed at the box office and with the critics. Rotten Tomatoes gave it only 27%, Metacritic gave it 49 out of 100. It grossed only $7 million world wide, as compared to say, "The Dark Knight", which grossed $500 million in the US alone.

  • I'm not arguing about the production I was just pointing out where it was filmed I think this film was a German, Australasian and Chinese collaboration? Regardless tho yeah it didnt fare well in the box office but this was a very low key film the Dark Knight was everywhere hyped to the moon in back I know by me this film was very popular since I live near Chinatown lol but I think we could agree its a good film nonetheless =p

  • damn ur an idiot

    ever heard of planes?

  • What are you driving at? I was the one who said that it was produced in Europe and only filmed in China. The other guy was the one who said that it was all made in china. Yes, I know there are planes, becuase my point was that it was produced in Europe and they flew to china to film it.

  • dude, the first comment u made was that it wasn't made in china. ur going back on your own word.

  • Yes, and the first time I said it wasn't made in China, I meant it wasn't produced in China. A movie is made where the main company is located, not where it is filmed, which I pointed out to the other guy. So where am I going back on my word?

  • im not trying to argue with u, its not worth it. if u had said it was filmed in china and made by europeans in the first place, u would be right. but u didnt say that, hence the confusion. calm down and learn more abut common movie talk.

  • Best Movie ever

  • bloody rubbish.

  • though it's just a movie but I hate war and who causing it

  • omg omg omg jonathan rhys meyers is  soooo cuteeee!!!!

  • you should see me

  • HAHAHAHA...

  • how could you knoww ???and i dont care about his status or smth else i just said that his face is cute is it forbidden????

  • I dont know why u have -6 ... I totally agree with u.

  • GREAT movie.

    a must movie to watch =)

  • 在今天的山丹,还有乔治·霍格的墓碑,碑文是一首诗: 彩色绚丽的生命啊 光辉而又温暖, 为了它,人们一直奋发向前 他已逝世了, 从此不再奋战在战斗中, 逝者的生命, 却更辉煌灿烂。

  • George Hogg's gravestone is still in Shandan,China.

    It says:

    Colorful magnificent life 

    Bright and warm,

    In order to it, people have been struggling forward 

    He has passed away,

    no longer fought in the battle,

    The deceased's life,

    Quegeng splendid glory.

  • nosebleed

  • george hogg went to my school!!

  • in England or China?

  • Best movie of the year!!

    trust me :D

  • one of the best movies of the year together with "Into the Wild" You should all see that one too!

  • This is such a loving movie <3

  • Beautiful movie!!

  • the english character did hardly anything in real life. it was a kiwi guy who came up with the idea, founded the school, and did all the work.

    They completely ruined the actual story to hollywoodise this movie.

    Having said that though, im still going to go see it, cos it looks pretty good... Just dont see why they had to change it so much

  • It was produced by an Australian company...and dont see how changing a minor details ruins the story and hollwoodises it? Does it matter what nationality the real guy was?

  • saw this movie and i was ever so touched watching it...the man was such a good samaritan...god bless him.

  • I saw this movie in beijing china with my homestay family... Man did that movie ever make them cry, with the japanese killing there nation and all... Pretty depressing and hopeful movie if you ask me. Although I had the slight suspicion that some of it was edited from context, I'll have to see the North American version one of these days...

  • rada mitchell is a scrag mole. just kidding

  • Very touching ... for me its a must see!

  • this looks like an awesome movie^^

  • does any1 no when dis film is released in the uk

  • yeah basically me being totally obsessed with Johnathon rhys meyers, i have to see this [=

  • Same here. I saw August Rush on opening day b/c of him. lol! But this looks very touching.

  • I can't wait to see this movie! Roger Spottiswoode also directed "Shake Hands with the Devil" about the 1994 Rwandan genocide. He's one bloody brilliant director!

  • I didn't know that the conflicts between Japan and China were accompanied with such inhuman terror. Unfortunately many nations have experienced such terrifying moments.My country was under Turkish slavery 5 centuries, as the massacres, impales, arsons and the brutal mass murders of whole towns were an everyday occurrence. Yes, I have the greater reason to hate the Turkish, but I don't, because the hatred won't change the past,It only will make my life miserable.

  • That's very wise of you indeed.

  • Dude same thing happened to my country although i don't recall if it was 5 centuries,actually that happened to half of my country,1/4 was occupied for a milenium by hungarians and 1/4 of my country has been occupied by Hungary and Russia,some of the territories never made it back to my country.Damn wars,in Europe there was allways a war....

  • it's sad that he was infected by tetanus and died soon after...

  • he dies in the movie or in real life??

  • The english news character dies in the movie, its based off his accomplishments

  • both

  • wow

    thats really sad!

  • touching my heart

  • Thanks George!!!!!!

    Chinese people will remember you forever

    Thanks all the people who had helped us!!!

  • i love this movie soooooooooo much!George Hogg!!!super super good man!!!

  • A touching moive~

  • im so angry i was soooo close to getting the role of shi kai in this movie gahhHH!!!!!

  • is the movie gonna come out in australia?

  • Touching movie! FUCKING Japanese!

  • exactly...those bunch of hypocrites

  • YUP! They r soo evil!I'm Chinese, I cant forgive them! My great grandparents moved to vietnam from china too escape this! OMG! Thats so cruel! Raping people, Chopping of peoples breasts, Cutting of mens testicles and forcing them to eat it, Making farmers have IT with theit animals! Japanese are SICK!

  • Are you serious? I'm Chinese, and I never knew it'd been THAT bad. Maybe I'm too innocent.

  • George A Hogg is Best Friend of China.

  • I just saw this movie. It was very long. But it is a very good movie to watch! Defintely did not waste my time! I think they coulda showed the viewers a bit more of the horror of Nanjing in the beginning, it woulda made the viewers have a stronger understanding for the children affected by it and also the main character because it was an eye opener for him.

  • I completely agree with you. You have just said the words I want to say.

  • watched the movie. did cry at the end bit.

    ok movie but moving story.

    like the clothes jonathan wears tho, kind of mix match chinese style.

  • This looks like a really good movie!

    I really wanna watch it!!!

    I would like Chow Yun Fat n Michelle Yeoh to end up 2gether!!!

    Did they? Hopefully yes... :)

    If u have watched please reply! :D

  • I have it on dvd already! pirated ofcourse and an AWSOME movie! im Buying this when it comes out on official DVD..

  • im from malaysia too, i've watched the movie, its amazing! and Jonathan Rhys Meyers is HOT! love the movie!

  • i'm from malaysia, and I've seen both US trailer and Chinese trailer. I've counted at least 6 scenes were cut!!! I'm quite dissapointed at that. Nevertheless, I still love the movie! :)

  • when does this film start to show in london ,

    i can not wait ............

  • When I watched it in Hong Kong, it seems that they have taken out the scenes where George Hogg was held in the Nationalists' prison. According to James MacManus, the real Hogg was locked up for a week and that was the time the Nationalist army started to pick up kids there for conscription.

  • jrm!

  • this movie looks really interesting and i see movies based on two things the story and the actors and actresses in the movie and this one has both the story and jrm.

  • looks interesting...reminds me of "welcome to sarajevo" which is another brill movie :]

  • I can't wait for this film. Jonathan Rhys Meyers is a fantastic actor.

  • omg

    i got shivers the whole time watching

    <3333

  • ok you know the only infuriating thing?!?!?! It doesn't say that Guang is in it *sob*

    wait wait wait, i've been waiting to say this for months::

    I'm friends with guang li xD aaah!!!

    I think I'm going to have a heart attack soon, I'm so excited for him... All his friends are dragging him to see it, shall be quite the funny...

  • I love films as these that show another country's culture or way of life in a time of war. Looking forward to seeing this...Jonathan is a great character actor - I'd go watch a movie based on knowing he is in it given that he is chooses his projects wisley.

  • cant wait either. i love jrm! =D <3

  • cant wait to see it!...looks very well done
