Reviews:

Good but I think I prefer some of the documentaries about the topic instead.
“John Rabe” is a very glossy and well done film about the actions of Rabe and a few other foreigners in saving as many of the residents of Nanking as they could during the Japanese invasion. The airplane attacks and look of the film were absolutely great–and the film is well worth seeing.

I am very familiar with the story of John Rabe and used to teach my world history students about him and the Japanese destruction of Nanking (I have since retired). Much of what I’d learned were from the book “The Rape of Nanking” as well as several well made documentaries. So, I am NOT the typical person watching the story for the first time–I am a bit tougher to please. Because of this, I am much more critical that average and to me, the story was flawed because it actually seemed very sanitized. In other words, while the film DID show some of the Japanese atrocities, it didn’t do much–probably because it would nauseate most viewers. BUT, by doing so, it minimized the evil that was perpetrated here–making the Japanese troops seem almost normal. It’s rare, but I would have included much more blood and talked much more about the rapes and murder of children. Evil must not be minimized and here it just didn’t seem as sadistic and wrong as the Rape of Nanking was.

Fell Short of Expectations due to Critical Flaws
It is well made for a historical/biographical film, but there were a number of critical flaws : overdramatization (the least of its problems as movies need drama anyway) , inclusion of unnecessary scenes of romance, historical or more precisely technical flaws (the existence of such a small hand-held camera was not convincing), Steve Buscemi’s overly-americanized character (i don’t know if ‘balls’ or ‘f***’ were common during those era, but he talked like a modern American), accuracy of the portrayal of the then Japanese soldiers, etc.

However i am glad the actors delivered spectacular performances to cover up those said flaws and made the most out of the limited character development, which was another aspect i would give salute for this film as it manages to focus on the big picture of the rescue efforts.
