a disturbing book you read
the rape of nanking by iris chang.
shareI have a book or 2 about it also but I’ll have to check the authors. Unit 731 is rough too.
shareYeah, that's a tough one. I did read a book on it years ago, and I've seen Men Behind the Sun.
shareI do remember you saying you’ve seen Men Behind the Sun. I love weird stuff but that’s one I’m just not interested in seeing, even though I’ve read about the actual events. 😬
shareYeah, I would never recommend watching it.
shareName some others you wouldn’t recommend for the same reason and I’ll tell you if I’ve seen them.
shareI think the most obvious one I'd not recommend is A Serbian Film, but also The Girl Next Door (2007), it's a little more tame than the true story from what I remember. Apartment 407/Selling Isobel (2016). That one stars the woman who it happened to. I think that's why that one bothered me. Knowing that she was reliving it all while filming.
shareONLY ONE I HAVE SEEN IS A SERBIAN FILM...I THOUGHT IT WAS BORING AND STUPID.
shareI've seen it twice. The first time I was in a bad state of mind and it really made me cry. I had to turn it off twice. The second time I was fine, but it still makes me really sad. Not as sad as Grave of the Fireflies. That one made me cry when I thought about it days after.
shareI haven’t heard of your last two but I, of course, know of A Serbian Film’s reputation. That’s another one I won’t watch.
