CITY OF WAR - THE STORY OF JOHN RABE on UK DVD 3rd May 2010

As the globe stands on the brink of World War II, Shanghai has fallen and deadly Japanese bombers target the infamous city of Nanking.

As panic breaks out and savage bombing raids devastate the city, veteran entrepreneur John Rabe, a German living the high life in the social whirl of Nanking, must make a agonizing choice: to flee or give sanctuary to the terrified population within the gates of his factory

When the Imperial Japanese Army discovers rich Nazi Rabes selfless operation, they see it an act of high treason. As a wave of brutality is unleashed on Nanking, Rabe and his comrades find themselves in a race against time to fight for a safety zone to protect the hundreds of thousands of innocent victims of this ultimate act of war. But as the bombings desist, a perilous siege begins.

Starring Ulrich Tukur (The Lives Of Others) Daniel Brühl (Inglourious Basterds) and Steve Buscemi (Reservoir Dogs), City Of War is a breathtaking true story of danger, courage, fear and bravery in the proud tradition of Defiance and Schindlers List.

Amazing movie and a true story. John Rabe should be honoured.

This tale reminds me of something Aristotle said that the virtues man is always vitreous no matter what happens to him or in what situation he is cast in; and so it is here: A businessman forms an international committee to save a foreign city from being sacked; in order to save countless lives. But the hero is not rewarded for his kindness and first annoyed by his government and than persecuted by foreign foes; and yet his deed will be remembered and is a fine example for human humanness.

(Part4)A recent survey of world public opinion from 2005 to 2007 found that Japan is the country most widely viewed as having a positive influence, which is helped by the fact that Japan has never used military power as a means for settling international conflicts after 1945. Since the People's Republic of China was established in 1949, the frequency of its use of military forces reaches the double digits. On average, China has used military power for several years.

(Part2)Chinese government has hidden their brutal war history to their citizens. If Chinese people had known what China had done in Tibet, they could not accuse Japan with a one track mind. In fact, Chinese leaders always say to Japanese leaders that Japan should look at history as a mirror. It means that Japan should not forget her brutal actions against China during the Sino-Japanese conflict in the late 1930s and the beginning of the 1940s.

(Part1)Some Chinese people have claimed that Japan always wants to fight with another country. Also they are accusing the Japanese dogs needed to be as brutal and cruel as possible to win the war. Some Chinese are taught exaggerated Japan’s war crimes, for instance, the Nanking Massacre must have been created by China for their propaganda, and also there is no conclusive evidence about that. Why does China continually teach wrong history to school kids?

[undertakerRach]

@ahfat83 The Nanking Massacre was created story by China.China has no right to accuse Japan of crimes such as the Nanking Massacre because the massacre was made up story using fabricated evidence. Obviously what China says is pure fiction! Demonstration of this story by the Chinese government is libel and slander. It is natural that Japanese raising an objection.
