    Black Sun: The Nanking Massacre

    Why we fight.



    Black Sun is an uncompromising portrayal of the war crimes perpetrated by the Japanese Imperial Army upon the Chinese military and civilian population of Nanking during the occupation of the city. Hailed by critics as one of the most disturbing films ever released. Black Sun: The Nanking Massacre is unflinching in its depiction of the barbaric cruelty with which the occupying army raped, pillaged and terrorized the defeated populace.

    Black Sun: The Nanking Massacre is so audacious in its insistence of factual representation this it refuses to be categorized. The film embraces myriad genres- war, drama, horror, documentary, exploitation, even propaganda. This unyielding film chronicles events so atrocious that, over sixty years after their occurrence, many in Japan still cannot bring themselves to admit the horror that their nation unleashed on their Chinese Neighbors.

    From the acclaimed Chinese director T. F. Mou (Men Behind the Sun), Black Sun: The Nanking Massacre portrays the ordeals of the members of a poor Chinese Family as they try to survive the Japanese occupation of their city. Two young children, Jean and John, escape with their uncle after witnessing the gruesome murder of their mother and father by Japanese Soldiers. While fleeing from the Japanese, they are separated and the children have to fend for themselves in the war torn city. The film lays bare the pitiless conduct of the Japanese army commanders as they attempt to subjugate the city by any means possible in order to further the cause of the Japanese domination of China and their pursuit of a Greater Asia under Japanese rule. Unearthed Films is proud to release this landmark film in its entirety. The film is presented in an uncut anamorphic transfer from the original negative and the DVD includes numerous supplemental materials to help understand the historical context of the events that occurred.


    ---------------------------------------------------

    An unofficial sequel to the Men Behind The Sun series (alternatively known as Men Behind the Sun 4) but it's only connection to the series is the name as the movie deals with Japanese invading China and not Unit 731.

    Unofficial or not I consider it the best movie in the series. A very disturbing and very well executed look at the massacre and the atrocities during the invasion. Often times using real photos and creating reenactments that look exactly like the picture. Such as the monk execution scene, where the soldiers brought the monks out one at at time and proceeded to execute them by gun shot to the head and ending the scene with a photo that was taken during the actual event.

    A powerful movie that may put your stomach in knots with various scenes of human cruelty such as a baby being put in boiling water or soldiers trying to rape a child. Undoubtedly a biased movie but its still a movie that should be seen.

    Always wanted to see Men Behind The Sun but all I can find is one of the sequels on eBay, that's pretty cheap too.

    In my opinion not really. From what I remembered they just rehashed alot of the experiments and autopsy stuff from the first movie. Some scenes were just pulled from the first and put into the sequels, others re-filmed the experiments.

    But it's been awhile since I've seen them and when I did, it was on their original VHS releases so I might have been missing some stuff.

    If the movies are historically accurate, the japanese did some thoroughly heinous shit to the chinese and it's no wonder the Chinese have built up such a military...

    Thanks. I guess I'll only get them if I get a good deal.

    i think ive seen the first 2 or 3 of these films.... the infamous cat vs rats clip :eyebrow:
    the only thing i remember about the 2nd or 3rd film was that it was more of a movie then a documentary like the first film and it had some old guy killing himself from guilt i think....

    Damn, didn't see this thread. Anyway, I downloaded it a while back, but never got to watch it yet. I've been interested for a while now on this event, as well as the Unit 731 war crimes, mostly because of how brutal and inhumane these soldiers were to these people, in yet, you barely ever hear about these events. As opposed to the Holocaust, which takes teachers a week to cover, these events get about a five minute talk in classes, if that.

    This is one harrowing flick, more an extremely graphic war film than horror, and with a film like this i'll only watch it once, especially after he cuts the baby out of the womb, sheesh.
