Editorial Review: Product Description: The best... most influential movie ever made on this tragedy--China Central TV. Top 10 Most Discussed Films of All Time, 2007. The whole world should see this movie--Sina.com. Thoughtful.... Profound.... Shocking... ----People's Daily --Beijing Youth Daily --China Youth Daily. Viewed by 16 million people world wide. Over 30,000 Individual comments have been posted online about this film in the US alone. The new edition contains 2 (two-sided) DVDs, featuring the best film ever made on this tragedy; The Rape of Nanking, and 6 featurettes: Unit 731, Sex Slaves & Comfort Women, Hiroshima (and more). This film, The Rape of Nanking begins with a historical overview of ancient China and the sun-cult of Shinto, Bushido, and Japanese Emporer Hirohito's dream to rule the world. There follows the Japanese invasion of Shanghai, the Rape of Nanking, inside the Safety Zone (featuring the observations of John Rabe and others) and finally, the rape of Manilla, Unit 731 and the Baatan Death March. Japanese soldiers tear out the eyes of children, gang-rape women then set them on fire, bury people alive or use them for bayonet practice...beheading women, children, old men....and torturing people for fun...and then laughing hysterically as victims, who have been set on fire, run screaming through the night... We had fun killing Chinese. We caught some innocent Chinese and either buried them alive, or pushed them into a fire, or beat them to death with clubs. When they were half dead we pushed them into ditches and burned them, torturing them to death. Everyone gets his entertainment this way. Its like killing dogs and cats. --Asahi Shimbun, Japanese soldier, describing Japanese atrocities during the Rape of Nanking. We took turns raping them. We always stabbed and killed them. When we were raping her, we looked at her as a woman. But when we killed her, we just thought of her as something like a pig. --Azuma Shiro, Japanese soldier. This film received rave reviews in all the Chinese press, and filled theaters in Nanking, Wuhan, and elsewhere. And not just the Chinese press, but even people working for our competitors agree, The Rape of Nanking is the best documentary ever made on this tragedy. In fact, our competitors decided to make their film, only after watching ours and learning of its great success. Viewers should be warned, The Rape of Nanking contains footage which will shock and horrify. However, some of the material on Disc 2, is so frightening and horrifying some viewers can't sleep at night. Unit 731, for example, details Japanese medical experiments performed on live prisoners. Hiroshima shows, in horrifying details, the punishment received by the Japanese people for the crimes committed by their leaders. The choice is clear: This film, The Rape of Nanking, is the best, most discussed, and most influential movie ever made on this tragedy. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - "The Best, Most Influential Film Ever Made on This Tragedy" (CCTV)The most talked about, most viewed, and "the best most influential film ever made on this tragedy" (China Central TV).

Read More Rating:  - DON'T BOTHERPlease don't bother with this movie!!! If you want to learn anything with a non-biased view point go read Iris Chang's "Rape of Nanking" Most of the Quotes that are used are from that book. This movie paints a picture of the Japanese even now as brainless barbarians, making it seems as if Japan as a whole is not sorry for what happened in Nanking. Don't buy this movie, and if you must see it, it can be streamed for free online. Rating: - Everyone should know this sad part of historyThis documentary tells the world what happened in the city of Nanking during the Japanese invasion. Everyone deserves to know the truth. The dvd comes in with English on side A and Chinese on side B, highly recommended. Rating: - NOT the actual movieSo I bought this DVD on amazon and was very disappointed when I received it. This is NOT the movie people are talking about - the movie being shown in selected US theaters is "Nanking" and it's not out on dvd yet... I wish I had checked more carefully before buying this. Rating: - Everyone needs to watch this ...I watched a similar documentary on the same subject when I was 14. I was horrified. I was behind of my fingers for the whole film. Today, I watched the same subject and fell into deep thinking. With all the proofs in the films, why some many people still keep blindly denying. I guess they are really shamed of what their ancestors did. They should be.
