History wasn’t blurred

Prepare a tons of tissue and a plastic bag if you're going to watch this 😭
The story tells about an album photo being hidden here and there from the Imperial Japanese Army (IJA) The photo albums contains direct evidence of the cruelty of what IJA did to people of Nanjing. It does reminds me the diary of Anne Frank.
The film is very very very disturbing, so much blood and brutality, so different than other historical film I've ever watch.
The director, Shen Ao said he made the film to honor the past, the survivors and the victims, so he doesn't really shy away from making it so graphic.
Theres so much silence during the film that just made you feel like you're there in Nanjing during the massacre and it just painful.
What i love from Shen Ao is that he doesn't use much CGI in his movies
Everything was shot beautifully
But i wouldn't recommend to watch more than once, due traumatizing the film is. Also if you have weak stomach and can't handle seeing blood, just skip this film
