The most horrifying movie in my life
So I know that his might be somewhat extreme but I now finally realize why he americans were so negatively racist towards the Japanese. As we watched the events of the attack on Nanking unfold my stomach dropped, my eyes filled with tears, and my heart broke. The Japanese stormed into the capital thinking that they could what they wanted and they wanted it. They destroyed homes and businesses and then looted them. The Japanese took everything that they wanted. When thy found men thyr would tie them up in groups of tens and bayonet them to death. Or machine gun them by the thousands. What got me the most though, was hearing about all of the rapings that occured. 20,000 accounted acts of rape occured during the taking over of Nanking. 20,000 girls my age (17) and younger were being taken out of their homes and forced to be tied up while men took their turns. Then they would kill them, slowly and painfully. Most accounts involved girls from 14 to 12. I could never imagine what that could be like. And I immediately felt sympathy for them because these were girls my age and younger. I couldn't even comprehend what that must have been like, and then to live through it? Another story that really opened my eyes was when a man was telling the story of his mother and baby brother. And how the Japanese soldier stab the baby and threw him off. And beat his mother. And watched his mother die right before his eyes. At age 9. How would you be able to get through that? I wouldn't.

This movie still horrifies me. It definitely makes you realize that there is evil in this world, and you may not see it as pronounced as what happened at / in Nanking... but its there. Just thank God that there is good in this world too!
