Write a paper that reflects about the movie “city of life and death”. This essay should be reflective with minimal summarization. The paper should not state the events of the film but rather it should analyze And compare/contrast the events with other world war 2 movies. The following questions must be answered in the paper: Were you aware that there was so much brutality perpetrated against the Chinese of Nanjing in the period depicted (1937-38)?
Mr. Tang’s collaboration results in the deaths of many fellow Chinese. How does Mr. Tang’s collaboration compare and/or contrast with that of Dr. Nyszli’s in The Grey Zone?
It is true that a “safety zone” was established in Nanjing under the protection of John Rabe, a German industrialist and supporter of Hitler. As a result, thousands of Chinese were saved. Although it was because of Rabe’s nationality (German) and his affiliation with Hitler’s government that required the Japanese to recognize the zone, how do you feel about a committed Nazi as a hero? Can you easily reconcile that?
What were your thoughts while watching the extraordinary barbarism exhibited by Japanese troops during the infamous “rape of Nanking?”
This was a tragic event that happened long in the past. Is it important for us all—Chinese and non-Chinese alike–to know about it? Why or why not?
Later in the film, Mr. Tang could have left with his wife, but chose not to in order to save another. Knowing he would probably be executed, why did Mr. Tang choose to stay?
If as a committed Nazi, John Rabe believed Chinese were inferior (and he likely did), why would he have saved so many thousands of Chinese?
What makes Kadokawa different from his fellow soldiers? What drives him to commit suicide in the end?
These questions should be answered indirectly in the paper.meaning that the questions should be discussed and answered in paragraph form, not in a question-answer way.
