Oliver John Nathan W @RT93087002 May 22 A moving and at times surreal feel to this very good movie especially the ending make this an excellent watch.Different to anything else in this genre that I have seen See more Max W @MaxthorWoo Mar 12 A high degree of commercial polish; refreshingly free from the didactic tone often found in Chinese mainstream patriotic films; the ample runtime allows each main character to develop a relatively complete and satisfying arc; it stands as a quality production within the Chinese patriotic film genre.

This is an homage to the bravery honor and the sacrifice that makes a soldier. The sacred cause that motivates a person to fight kill and die selflessly. If you understand this cost you will appreciate your life and your freedom.

Aside from being a top-notch war movie with high production value, realism and beautiful visuals, the movie is groundbreaking in being perhaps the first Chinese-produced war movie to candidly portray the nationalist army - the good and the bad - and examine the deep divides and contrasts in China's early struggle to self-identify as a nation state. This is at times conveyed heavy-handedly, with obvious contrasts drawn between the international concessions and the Chinese sovereign territories; but it also manifests in more subtle ways, shown through the childhood tunes hummed by the soldiers and township mementos they carry. All in all, a surprisingly honest and self-searching look at the birth of the modern Chinese state disguised as a well-rounded war film. See more Read all reviews
