Lead: Since 2014, my country has set December 13th every year as the National Memorial Day for the victims of the Nanjing Massacre. On this day, all the citizens of Nanjing will observe a minute of silence. At the moment when the alarm is sounded, they will travel through the dimensions of time and space and remember their past grief and suffering. Through this form, the hearts of all Chinese people are brought together, remembering the deceased, not forgetting the national humiliation, deeply understanding the close relationship between the destiny of the individual and the country, and allowing patriotism education to be fully displayed. Remembering history and keeping watch for peace, not only do it in real life, there is a movie that also makes people remember this history through real images. That is the history directed by director Lu Chuan, which was released on April 22, 2009 in mainland China. The theme movie "Nanjing! Nanjing! ". This year coincides with the 6th statutory National Memorial Day for the victims of the Nanjing Massacre. At this minute, the entire Nanjing city is still. As the saying goes, commemoration is not to perpetuate hatred, but to cherish the hard-won years of peace. Following the new perspective under the black and white scenes of this movie, returning to the devastated and ruined city of Nanjing 82 years ago, under the ravages of human nature by the war, this history will be remembered by the Chinese forever. The movie
takes the Nanjing Massacre as its story background, and truly restores the memorable history. In the city of Nanjing that was devastated by war and was like a purgatory on earth, the Chinese would rather die than surrender, and face death as the final struggle. This is a movie about human nature during the war. Soldiers who resisted desperately, civilians transformed from various occupations, faced the aggressor, they faced life and death choices.
Actually, from the perspective of the script, the storyline and the artistic students, the movie itself is not particularly outstanding, and there are still some shortcomings in some aspects. But the greatness of director Lu Chuan dared to make this kind of historical film and put it on the screen. It not only requires courage, but also shakes people's hearts by restoring this history. Such an independent film with the main theme uses the power of history itself to tell us what we have learned from history textbooks, and to witness humanity in understanding history. From the beginning to the end, the movie looked very flat. In addition to trying to restore the historical authenticity of the black and white tones, it used restrained lenses to record the actions of the invaders and the soldiers and civilians of the invaded countries. There were no specially set sensational points, and the atmosphere seemed a bit depressing. However, the director has worked hard enough to be true, and does not fiction or demonize anyone. Of course, there is a big controversy in beautifying the aggressor. In general, this is a movie that records how wars destroy human nature and make people reflect on wars. The new special perspective has reached a height of admiration. The history of
is cruel. Fortunately, domestic directors have the courage to restore this history, choosing a heavy movie theme and using several typical characters to describe the painful history. The angle selection is very good and true. Faced with human nature in the war, Director Lu Chuan used his unique technique to make the film's narrative appear infectious, make everything appear so real, and give people sad and deep memories. The
film uses a very pure perspective, showing the choice of life and death with several faces scattered in the corners of the city. Under the external appearance of war, it implies the struggle of human nature, which shocks people's hearts.
, whether it is a textbook-style consciousness instillation or a documentary. The reappearance of images at a macro level cannot be as real as from personal understanding of history. There is no need to say more about the characterization of justice and injustice in this war, but to tell the war from a personal perspective, Director Lu Chuan gave us a new perspective. It is a very pure perspective, with a few slightly thin characters, before them are the ruined city, the brutal and inhuman Japanese invaders, and the social beings under the shadow of war. Director
hopes to use objective and true brushstrokes to describe the situation at the time, but facing such a heavy topic, he seems a little lack of control. From a pure perspective, find the entry point between the invaders and the civilians, and let the entire incident be presented as realistically as possible. Although many people have a sense of depression that is difficult to let go of after reading it, while condemning the aggressor's brutality, let us put ourselves in the position to think about the inevitability of this disaster. The
movie is filled with fear and despair from the beginning. The ancient city wall ravaged by guns and the civilians hidden in every corner of the city are quietly waiting for death. There is no real protagonist, and even seemingly important characters have no intersection in the plot, only the devastation of the city where the Japanese soldiers went.The movie focuses on these faces, whether they are brave, tragic, or even cowardly, the choices they make under their survival instinct in the face of death are impressive. The traces of
's imitation and learning of foreign movies of the same type still exist in the movies. Although the imitation techniques are not mature enough, the use of black and white lenses and real details to show the external appearance of war is implicit. The struggle of human nature, to examine the course of events from the perspective of the aggressor, and to face history directly is enough to shock people. The inhumanity of the invaders and the tragic and helplessness of the victims, the whole city is like a doomsday, presenting historical moments from all angles of time, place, and characters. The real and terrifying
Liu Ye played by Lu Jianxiong, as the guard of the Chinese Kuomintang In stark contrast to the low-ranking officers of the city's most elite troops and some of the high-ranking officers, he chose to fight alongside the 100,000 soldiers who had not had time to evacuate. In the face of the full-scale encirclement and offensive of the Japanese army, he used his flesh and blood to carry out a desperate resistance with the disparity between the enemy and ourselves. Although the outcome of being broken into the city is irreversible, he represents the bloody nature of the Chinese soldiers, who are not afraid to sacrifice to fight for the country.
As an actor, Liu Ye used a wonderful performance to show the spirit of Chinese soldiers who regard death as home. His acting skills are convincing. As the backbone of the defense of the country, failure is inevitable, and resistance to failure can only be fearless to face the choice of life and death. From a certain point of view, soldiers are also victims of this war, sacrifice themselves but cannot withstand the coming massacre.
is consistent with the temperament of the goddess Gao Yuanyuan. In the film, she plays a female teacher who has returned from studying in Europe and is also the secretary of Mr. Rabe, the head of the refugee camp. As a literate Chinese woman, in the face of the massacres and pressing force of the Japanese army, she used her flesh and blood to resist the atrocities of the invaders. Her personal strength seemed insignificant in the face of the powerful Japanese army, but she worked hard for this. With.
Fan Wei's Tang Tianxiang is a contradictory role. In that era, as a representative of intellectuals, his identity and status gave him a stronger desire to survive. This was a peaceful life. With the arrival of the Japanese army, he plunged into darkness. At first, he had illusions about the Japanese army and participated in various crimes assisting the Japanese army. He looked like a traitor. As a cowardly intellectual representative,
would betray his compatriots in order to protect himself and his family. However, when his family died tragically in the hands of the Japanese army, he began to awaken, determined to resist, and used his life to preserve the last integrity of this class of society.
Jiang Yiyan plays Xiaojiang, a dancer from the bottom of society, who is also a small figure to show off the grand festival. At the critical moment of the survival of the country, she bravely stood up and sacrificed herself in order to give others a chance to live. At the time of national peril, as ordinary people, they have national integrity and understanding of cruel wars. She faced death and humiliation with courage and calmness, with her soul leaning on.
The brutality and dehumanization of the Japanese army is in sharp contrast with the tragic and helpless faces of Chinese military and civilian victims. In the ruined doomsday city, they will experience the historical moments like purgatory on earth. When this kind of picture is presented on the big screen, it is real and terrifying.
During the historical period when life was as cheap as an ant, the breath of death was shocking. In the face of national justice, the human nature devastated by war was revealed. The tragic story restores a cruel history and makes people reflect on
. On the battlefield, death happens all the time. When the city broke, many Chinese soldiers chose to stay behind. Although the former prosperous ancient capital has become a hell on earth at this time, in order to defend it to the death, the Chinese army officers and soldiers represented by Lu Jianxiong did not hesitate to fight the Japanese army for every inch of land. Weak resistance will not be able to reach the guns of the Japanese army in the end, and the tenacious resistance is the integrity of the soldiers, the bloody sacrifices on the battlefield, and the responsibility of defending the country.
A person of insight in the Patriotic country represented by Jiang Shuyun, tried to rescue the Chinese refugees by himself. While dealing with the Japanese army, he was also recording this tragic history with his life, letting the people around the world know the sufferings China is suffering at this time. . In the role of Jiang Shuyun, the director gave some humanity brilliance, which made people extremely admired and moved. Even if in the end she exchanged her life for the opportunity for others to live, what she did reflects a kind of national justice, which is remembered by the world.
Actually, in this catastropheIn addition to the captured Chinese soldiers who were blood-stained in the Yangtze River and died under the swords and guns of the Japanese army, the greatness of female roles was also carefully discovered by the director. They are also the biggest victims. They have suffered humiliation, physically and mentally, and their lives are easily deprived. However, their perseverance and courage have shown their kindness and warmth of humanity while the war has devastated people’s bodies and minds, like a ray of sunshine. Life is like a historical period of ants, shining into the heart of every victim. A sad story, accompanied by a cruel history, makes people reflect on war. The practical significance of the film: The establishment of the National Memorial Day for the victims of the Nanjing Massacre has not only become the mission of peace for future generations, but also a warning for remembering history and not forgetting national humiliation under the education of patriotism.
In 2014, the country passed a resolution. In order to commemorate the 300,000 compatriots who died in the hands of Japanese soldiers in the massacre of the century, December 13th is set up as the National Memorial Day for the Nanjing Massacre. The original intention of setting up this National Memorial Day was for those innocent compatriots who were killed, not for the massacre that exterminated humanity, and to make the Chinese people oppose war and cherish peace. In the tragic massacre of
, every innocent victim was the death of the country and the pain of the nation; and the survivors who survived the world were witnesses to that tragic history. They became testimonies to Japan’s attempts. A living witness who denies history. Any behavior that forgets history means betrayal, and denial of history is a repeat offense of the heavy responsibility of history, and the Chinese people will never agree. This solemn and sacred ceremony prompts our children and grandchildren to take responsibility for the mission of peace.
, in the name of the country, pays tribute to 300,000 compatriots who died in every year on December 13th. Regardless of the city in China, remembering that period of history and warning of the future is also a very effective form of patriotic education.

Only by remembering the national pain can patriotism become more meaningful.
