Later, "Rabe's Diary", shot by French director Florey Gallenberg, is completely incomparable with Spielberg's "Schindler's List" from both a film and a commercial point of view. Although, the Nanjing Massacre carried out by the Japanese in Nanjing was a tragic and inhumane thing that was not inferior to the Nazi massacre of the Jews in Germany.

And the movie "Rabe's Diary" did not show the true demeanor of Rabe and related characters in "Rabe's Diary".

Although, in later generations, this "Rabe's Diary" was completely banned in Japan. Although, the film is considered less bloody and violent, and it will not arouse Chinese disgust. But in fact, the only thing that can be compared to "Schindler's List" in this movie is nothing more than the costumes and scene details, which are better restored and have the flavor of the times.

The so-called "not excessively bloody and violent suspicion" is, in fact, an evasion of history. Of course, this evasion has to do with the director's position. Rory Gallenberg's "Rabe's Diary" was not filmed and narrated from the perspective of Chinese, from the beginning of the movie, the main characters used by Rory Gallenberg to construct the story were Westerners.

And, it's always been Westerners. The only Oriental perspective, that is, Langshu played by Zhang Jingchu, is not real and powerful. Rory Gallenberg seems to be using a God's perspective to transform Westerners into saviors to save the panicked, ignorant, and ignorant Chinese.

In the movie, Rabe's driver never seems to have learned to knock on the door beforehand. This contempt for Chinese intelligence seems natural. Nothing far-fetched. However, neither from the point of view of reality nor from the point of view of the story, it is extremely unreasonable. A person who can memorize a foreign language by rote in a short period of time will not remember to knock on the door? Moreover, this detail, in Rabe's original diary. It doesn't seem to exist.

This savior perspective is essentially not for people to remember history, but for Western audiences to watch it well. I also had a hallucination, as if I was also the savior. This kind of psychological structure is actually no different from Hollywood's routine, modeled, and commercial hero savior blockbusters.

It's just that the fight of Hollywood heroes has become a battle of wits and courage in "Rabe's Diary". The villains of Hollywood blockbusters, such as aliens, shapeshifters, or so-and-so monsters, have become Japanese - and only this metaphor has some truth.

Even. Rory Gallenberg's "Rabe's Diary" is not as good as Hollywood blockbusters. Because, even if it is a heroic salvation for the purpose of commercialization, the directors and screenwriters will treat the saved party as a person with normal intelligence and a good image.

These saved parties will also have their own judgments, their own actions, their own dignity, and their own group portraits. Whether it's Spider-Man or Iron Man, the object they save is not a symbolic character.

Heroes saving the United States are not mentioned for the time being. For example, the comrades-in-arms that Captain America saved. They were all violent. There will even be the existence of the Winter Soldier. However, after reading "Rabe's Diary", saving people is just a symbolic thing. I have seen the whole movie, except for Zhang Jingchu, who only has underwear, and a group of Chinese girls without clothes, which other Chinese image is alive?

"Rabe's Diary" by Rory Gallenberg. Apparently ignore the Chinese. All the stories, except for Langshu played by Zhang Jingchu, have always been what Rabe is doing and what Westerners are doing. But. Langshu, played by Zhang Jingchu, does not seem to exist in Rabe's diary. Rather, it is a collection of group portraits of Chinese women who have been insulted by the Japanese.

Moreover, Rory Gallenberg could not appreciate the Chinese women at that time, the morals they followed, and the psychology they generated. Therefore, the characters are not real and powerful. At least in the eyes of the Chinese, the so-called kindness and rebellion of this character are Westernized. Like a banana, yellow skin and white flesh.

Because of this, Rory Gallenberg's "Rabe's Diary" is not so pure and powerful in the eyes of Chinese. Rory Gallenberg's realm is not as good as the director Taylor in the later movie "Big Shot", at least that director Taylor can realize the difference between Chinese's perspective and values and Westerners.

However, Spielberg's "Schindler's List" not only saves the Jews, but also the protagonist Schindler, who saves the Jews, is extremely vivid and has a strong personality. Moreover, there are many Jews who were saved by Schindler, and after the end of the film, there are many that are impressive.

Helen who was in love with Amun, the girl who came to her door to ask for help for her parents, the Jewish woman who prick her finger to make her face ruddy and take blood for rouge, the Jewish family who wrapped diamonds in bread and swallowed them in order to preserve their possessions, the one-armed Jewish man, the little girl in red...... Numerous.

These people were treated by Spielberg as living people, with great respect not only for their way of life and values, but also for their struggle for the lives of themselves and their families in times of crisis. That's what respects and shows history.

Moreover, Spielberg, as a Jew, did not shy away from the atrocities committed by the Nazis. I haven't heard of the Jew who would be disgusted by Spielberg's Schindler's List.

Such a film under the name of "Rabe's Diary" will certainly not be respected for the rest of his life. For the rest of his life, he prepared for the filming of "Rabe's Diary", not to imitate the later version of Rory Gallenberg. It's about surpassing Spielberg's Schindler's List.

Therefore, the rest of his life will not shy away from the atrocities committed by the Japanese in Nanjing. The so-called blood and violence, in peacetime in the afterlife, are exaggerated and showcased. But in Nanjing at that time, it was a true portrayal! If the Japanese were not bloody and violent, how could there be the Nanjing Massacre?

In fact, Rabe's diary also contains a large number of records of Japanese atrocities. Some of them were what he had seen with his own eyes, and some of them were relayed to him by the refugees he had taken in and his friends. Moreover, Rabe, who has lived in China for decades, does not see himself as a savior. He gave a very detailed account of the morality of the Chinese in the Nanjing Massacre, who stuck to their posts and forgot their lives, and the struggle and self-help they made in order to survive.

“…… Yesterday came the news from the German embassy that the commander of the Japanese army in Shanghai would begin to intensify the bombardment of Nanking again from noon today, and therefore warned all foreigners to leave Nanking as soon as possible. The Japanese even asked the embassies of Britain, France, and the United States, as well as several smaller countries with warships sailing the lower section of the Yangtze River, to inform their warships to leave their current berths. Move to the upper or lower reaches of the Yangtze River, otherwise they will be endangered by the bombing, and Japan will not be responsible for the damage that may be caused. ……

I don't want to risk my life for anything (foreign or some stuff of my own). ……

I gave my assistant, Mr. Han (Xianglin), an advance to enable him to send his wife and two children to the safety of Jinan. He said very frankly: "I will be where you are." If you leave, I'll go with you! ……”

"When I was not in Nanjing, our Chinese dug a bomb shelter, which is now about to collapse. So, we put the dirty bomb shelter in order and rearranged it very well: solid beams were added. The floor was laid, sandbags were piled up (an empty bag is worth a dollar today), and of course there was an entrance and exit on the right. When we found that one of the inner beams was in danger of breaking, we were not discouraged and laboriously replaced with another. ……”

In Rabe's letter of protest to the Japanese, he wrote: "...... On December 13, when your army entered the city, we concentrated almost all the civilians of the city in the security zone, which suffered only minor artillery losses, and the Chinese troops did not commit any looting in the security zone when they retreated. Totally speaking. We have taken over the entire security zone peacefully for you, and we have made all preparations to allow normal life to proceed undisturbed before order is restored in the rest of the city. ”

"Once order is restored. You can resume normal traffic throughout the city. But on the 14th of December, the looting, rape, and massacre of your soldiers were all over the place, and the 27 Europeans who remained were as shocked as the Chinese inhabitants. ……”

“…… One American put it: 'The safe zone has become a brothel for the Japanese. This is almost true. About 1,000 girls and women were raped last night, and more than 100 girls were raped at the Jinling Women's College alone. At this point, all the news heard was rape. If the brothers or husbands come out to intervene. was shot by the Japanese. All I heard and witnessed was the brutal atrocities and bestiality of the Japanese soldiers. ……”

“…… When we returned to Little Taoyuan, a soldier was about to break into my house when the Japanese officer chased me away. Meanwhile. One of my Chinese neighbors came to tell me that four Japanese soldiers had broken into his home, and one of them was trying to insult his wife. The Japanese officer and I immediately rushed into the neighbor's house and avoided the tragedy. The Japanese officer slapped the soldier left and right with his bow before allowing him to leave. ……”

The list goes on. Chinese civilians, although unarmed, are not sitting still.

In fact, when looking back on history, many people find that when the old Chiang was preparing to defend Nanjing, his strategy was wrong. The army that Lao Chiang trusted with all his heart had no ability or will to fight. When it comes to running away and surrendering, he is more active than anyone else.

However, the civilians of Nanjing, who really wanted to defend their homeland and had the will to fight, did not even have a pistol. If Lao Chiang had given weapons to adult men among the civilians when the Japanese soldiers were approaching the city, so that all the people were soldiers and relied on Nanjing City for street fighting, the Japanese would have suffered much more casualties after entering Nanjing City.

The struggles and efforts of these Chinese do not occupy much space in "Rabe's Diary". Therefore, it is often overlooked. But with these things, Rabe's experience of the Nanjing Massacre will be mellow and full. And not just an empty savior.

In "Rabe's Diary", which I want to shoot for the rest of my life, these real historical memories will be added to the plot structure of the story. Only after the group portrait is established and full-fledged can a piece of history be narrated in detail. It is a historical film that can reflect the true face of history.

As for the later movie "Rabe's Diary", the love story between Rabe and his wife, and the grand farewell at the end. These fictitious episodes will not appear again.

After deciding on the idea and script, Yu Sheng contacted Albert directly. This film needs a lot of actors, and the rest of my life now has no energy to direct another movie. So, after finalizing the script with Albert, he let Albert shoot it.

And the director, because he is the old and strong Griffith who was signed for the rest of his life. So, the rest of my life is very relieved. Griffith's "The Birth of a Nation" is almost the originator of historical films.

Moreover, although it is not easy to shoot Nanjing City in the United States, I think Lao Jiang will not refuse an American film crew to shoot in Nanjing. Moreover, because Yu Sheng has a herring Chinese restaurant in his hands, this industry has gathered tens of thousands of Chinese elites. Griffiths wanted to find Chinese extras in the United States, and it was also very easy.

After deciding on the script, the rest of his life put his main energy on investment. The next goal for the rest of his life is the fishing industry of the Japanese.

Japan is an island country, surrounded by the sea, and its location is so good that there are many world-famous fishing grounds in the coastal waters. There are as many as 700 species of fish that are often preyed upon off the coast of Japan. Mainly sardines, cod, mackerel, tyrant, salmon, etc.

The Japanese also love to eat fish, for example, in later generations, the Japanese ate almost 80% of the world's bluefin tuna. And bluefin tuna has also become synonymous with Japanese sashimi. However, due to the unrestrained predation of the Japanese, bluefin tuna became an endangered species in a short period of time.

However, after World War II, the Japanese shipbuilding industry was devastated. Not only could it not build a large warship. Even small fishing boats are under the control of the Americans. There are many fishing boats that are no longer usable because of the aging of their parts.

So, after World War II, during the years of famine among the Japanese. Although the Japanese still have abundant fisheries off the coast. However, the output has not always increased. In 1947, when the Americans allowed the Japanese to recover economically, it was a good time to enter the Japanese fishing industry for the rest of their lives.

At this time, the Japanese zaibatsu were being gradually dissolved by MacArthur. The control of Japan's coastal fisheries has been minimized, and ordinary fishermen do not have much money to invest. (To be continued.) )
