iMan JavaheryPour The Flowers of War. The name of this movie is chosen perfectly. Several moments during the show, I was about to weep, to shout and cry along the girls. It is so touching. It is so beautiful. Another masterpiece of Zhang Yimou. It comes with beautiful visuals, pleasant musics. As the signature of Yimou, the colour and sound play very well in entire movie. The war scenes are so cruel, so brutal and horrible in terms of conveying and showing the nature of wars. The rape scenes are so so terrifying. And at the end, what you think is, shame on us, on all of humans that make the earth a very unsafe and horrible place for women and children. Thanks to all crew for making this excellent movie.
yogecaja The movie is telling about the war of the China and Japan in the period of 1937.Every war has lots of hard things,that is the law of the war or the tradition of the war.In this movie also there are lots of hard and bad things happening between those how the children survive from those is the simple story of this movie.Movie is created with some characters like Jhon,Mo ,Shu,George,Commander,Young soldier,Shu's father and other small characters.Those characters are did their work in every part.Important one is every small character get some importance in this movie.Jhon came for the father's funeral and how he help to escape the Chinese students with the help of the prostitutes and Geroge.Don't think about the film which is making the Japanesh as bad guys.If any it was a war in other place of world also face these kind of problem.Bale is an outstanding actor fro his young age on words.He does his part in this part very well.This movie tell about some truth of the war.
corey-thomas I saw this movie whilst I was living in Uganda, a mate and I got it out because we saw Christian Bale in it. We sat down to watch it after a few drinks and a game of Rugby, yet we ended up almost in tears, and we were working in slums! We both looked at each other and said, "That is in my top 3 movies of all time." My mate is a photographer and he said the cinematography rivals that of Empire of the Sun, I loved the changing, yet simple, message throughout the movie, and I recommend it for anyone who is willing to be involved in a movie for a while. Because of the story and the sub-titles it isn't a movie to relax to, but one that you must watch with a degree of investment. Definitely want to grab the book and read it now.
