Film: Escape From Huang Shi

[fengtau]

ESCAPE FROM HUANG SHI is a US$40 million Australia-China-Germany joint production, a World War 2 movie inspired by a true story. It starts with an Associated Press reporter, George Hogg (Jonathan Rhys Meyers), sneaks into Nanking, the Chinese capital city, and witnesses the killing carried out by the Japanese troops. He is then captured by the Japanese and is later rescued by Jack Chen (Chow Yun-Fat) a guerilla leader. George is arranged to stay at an orphanage, where he becomes the guardian of over 60 psychologically shattered war orphans, with help from an Australian nurse Lee Pearson (Radha Mitchell) and a wealthy widow Mrs. Wang (Michelle Yeoh). To protect the children from the advancing Japanese and conscription from the Chinese authority, George, Jack, Lee and the children start marching toward the snowy mountains and endless desert.

I love WW2 movies especially the ones with Japanese. Have not seen this yet...but I will definitely go see it.
