WAR
19 December 2017 | by fezhang-56830 – See all my reviews

Different from the ordinary anti-Japanese war films, the surface has been funny, but each laugh is not only laugh and after make me pondering, the actors are indeed selected well, there is a strong drama conflict. Also I think the storyline progress very fast and jumped, it make me lost at some points. Some of the scenes are not what I expected, because some plots just like add to the story abruptly. The movie shows the strong of the Chinese united and many Chinese traditional traits. It also shows how poor China was back to 1940s. People could not have enough food and live within the bloodcurdling of war.
