Review of John Rabe (2009) by Cynthia S — 24 Nov 2010
Based on a true story, "John Rabe" is an epic World War II saga, telling of horror and mass murder on the other side of the globe. It is December 1937 and we are made witness to the Rape of Nanking in which approximately 300,000 Chinese citizens were brutally massacred by the Japanese with a wink and a nod from the Nazis.
We witness this horror through the eyes of John Rabe, the manager of the Siemens plant in Nanking. Integrating multiple languages and real news footage, this is a masterfully crafted film, deserving of high praise.
While difficult to watch, it is worthy of your attention.
