I can't even come up with a title

Well done! That is so true. The Japanese were dumb enough to attack Pearl Harbour (and Hitler was even dumber by declaring war on the US because of the axis thing). The giant, with its demographic and industrial might, was awakened. Without the help from America, China would have to sue for peace at one time or another. As a leader, Jiang must have thought about it and must have done something. Of course, after the war, all such evidence was destroyed and disowned. Success has a thousand mothers, but failure is always an orphan. Wang Jing Wei, for his part, also had big character fault. He only sank deeper and deeper. Do you know that he was always petitioning to his Japanese overlords that his regime should declare war on US too (following Pearl Harbour)! It was always a very complex story. The good thing about the movie is that: inadvertently, it reminds us of that part of Chinese history during that time. Who are the good guys and who are the bad guys? Are they really so clear cut?

I watched it last week. It was a good movie. The sex scenes were very explicit. Okay, if you want to watch a skin flick, go watch a skin flick. In one of the scenes, you could see Tony Leung's balls, not to mention Tang Wei's erect nipples all the time. Was this necessary? I had some doubts. It could be that the director's focus was on lust. Then what about the political background of that time. Tony Leung really had not much to do in the movie, If I were the director, I would have given a bigger role to Tony. But the downside is the movie won't do too well at the box office. It is always a tough sell. Come to think of it. How many people know what is going on in China at that time? In the States, a lot of kids think the Americans teamed up with the Germans to fight the Russians in the Second World War. In China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, things are not much better. That said, I could tell that the director gave a lot of heart in the production of this movie. Great attention to details. You should watch the movie in a cinema.
