Editorial Reviews

Review

The best most influential movie ever made on this tragedy. --China Central TV


Product Description

Rapeof 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, 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars It Will Give You Nightmares! The Most Frightening, Horrifying Movie Ever Made, March 26, 2006
By Niloo (San Francisco) - See all my reviews
I saw this movie, with several friends, in a crowded theater in California. This movie will give you nightmares! It is the most shocking, horrifying movie ever made! Let me tell you about the audience that saw it with me. By the end of the film, almost everyone was in shock. Many were crying and in tears. A friend of mine who is a journalist, told me she began having nightmares after watching it. This movie is not for the faint hearted. All the pictures and film clips are archival, and most were taken by the Japanese. This is truly shocking stuff. It does not get more real than this. As to the background music, I have only this to say: Bravo!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Historical Work of Art, November 2, 2006
This film takes you back in time, making you feel as if you are right there. The images and pictures are graphic. A gore-fest, it is not. If you want buckets of blood, then look elsewhere. The sound track is truly wonderful, and the film-makers use the music and the pictures to really play with your emotions. I've also seen other documentaries about the Rape of Nanking, and this is truly the best. The film provides a historical context, explaining the mind-set of the Japanese and the events leading up to the massacre, and none of the other documentaries on this subject do that. The film also explains American government complicity in covering up the crimes of the Japanese, and no other film does that either. If you want to really understand the Rape of Nanking, what took place and why, this is the film for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Review of "The Rape of Nanking", May 6, 2007
By Andres D. Onate (Nanjing, China) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I teach a class on the Chinese revolution, 1911-1949. One of the topics I cover is Japan's invasion of China in 1937, which includes the atrocities committed in Nanking in December 1937. If the saying, "a picture is worth a thousand words is true," then it was not necessary for me to lecture on the event; all I needed to do was to show the video to my students. We were all numb after watching the video. It took a while for us to regain our composure before discussing this episode in China-Japan relations.
