Perfect
I usually only watch Japanese Samurai movies and Japanese anime’. I tried a few Chinese Martial Arts movies and was really annoyed with them. The production, acting and plot are very poor.

I ordered this from NETFLIX thinking (for some reason) that it was a modern Japanese samurai story. So when I saw it was made in China – not just Hong Kong, but mainland China – I was hesitant to watch it. Having nothing else to watch I decided to watch this movie thinking it was about their form of martial arts and give this genre’ a chance – one more time.

First off, it takes place during the Japanese occupation of China. (I won’t say any more.)

My impression was that this movie is nothing short of perfect. It is film of the highest form. I don’t say that about many movies, although I like movies in general, I have said this for only a few. Everything is done right – from cast to production to editing. If I was a director this movie would have made me think over my entire career – and have me learn from it. 12 out of 10.

The war is a machine, it eats up humanity
Guizi Lai Le is such a powerful movie that really moves me. Jiang wen’s great talent to express humanity in film is approved again. (For those who has not seen his debut: In the Heat of the Sun, you really should not miss it. )

I read this movie as a song for humanity. The fate of characters are so dramatic but at the same time so real. Hanaya, Japanese prisoner, after being held and fed by Chinese villagers, is on the edge of being lifted from a Japanese militarism twisted spirit and turning back into a human. However, when he returns to Japanese troops camp, the humanity is ripped off by reality again. Dasan, Chinese peasant, after the villagers being slaughtered and Japanese surrender, turns into a revenging killer of Japanese prisoners and finally end up with being executed as a criminal by Hanaya. The fate of both reveals the weakness of individual in front of the war. The war is a machine and it eats up the humanity.

The acting is great. I heard two Japanese actors don’t want to be in the movie when they know the plot. But finally they did a good job in this movie. The performance, the set, the local dialect are all giving an authentic touch. Plus it’s full of humor. Highly recommended!
