| − | [https://youtu.be/p-kKH6uHHHI Here's the concluding hour] of a 3 hour film. The point is, you don't need subtitles or anything to understand what this film conveys (the original has various dialogue in Chinese, Japanese, German, French, English, etc.). The Chinese today are frustrated that their story of WWII is not known to Americans', and that Japan unlike Germany has never apologized or attempted restitution with its neighbors. This is a sticking point in US-Chinese relations today, the fact that the US is so friendly with Japan, has rebuilt Haoab into a powerhouse, and has assumed Japan's defense. China still regards Japan as hostile. And for the US to ever have better relations with China, every Anerican man, woman, and child has to understand what China endured. | + | [https://youtu.be/p-kKH6uHHHI Here's the concluding hour] of a 3 hour film.

| | China has made a huge investment in American cinema, both production companies and Cineplex theatres. Barring how Trump's trade policies turn out, China is poised and determined to make a propagsnda assault thru Hollywood films in US movies, and ''City of Life and Death'' is one of the first efforts. ''Rabe'', released by Warner Bros in English is another, which needs to be seen side-by-side with this film.[[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|''Deep Six the Deep State!'']]</sup> 03:59, 16 January 2019 (EST) | | China has made a huge investment in American cinema, both production companies and Cineplex theatres.
