Went for this movie in a rush, I have less than 15 minutes for my dinner, just because of the Macau Pork Fillet Burger, and I only have half of it :p


Okay, back to the movie... Inspired by a true story, this is about a British journalist George Hogg who smuggles himself into pre-WWII Nanjing and witnessed the atrocities of the invading Japanese army. Almost beheaded, Chen Hansheng or Jack, a communist came to his rescue, also to give us some brief history lessons on the uneasy alliance between the Communists and Nationalists ^.^

Upon the suggestion of Lee Pearson, the nurse, Hogg went to Huangshi and was given the daunting task of taking care of a group of 60 psychologically shattered war orphans. To protect the children from the advancing Japanese, he tried to bring the 60 orphans to a place where no war has been gone through, leading them on an extraordinary journey across hundreds of miles of treacherous terrain, through snow-covered mountains and an unforgiving desert.

This is a very subtle movie dabbling on heavy and emotional themes, about the courage to lead on one’s life, and enduring even in the most atrocious state... It is not one that has a lot of bombing and fighting, although I wish for such scenes. The sadness and emotional thoughts only lingers on after one finished watching the movie.
