THE FLOWERS OF WAR (2011) International Movie Trailer: Yimou Zhang

The Flowers of War Trailer. Yimou Zhang‘s The Flowers of War (2011) international movie trailer stars Christian Bale and Shigeo Kobayashi. The Flowers of War‘s plot synopsis: Based on a historical novel by Yan Geling, and shot with a mixture of Chinese and English dialogue (and some Japanese), the film has Bale playing “John Haufman, a salty mortician who apparently has come to town to bury the priest of a cathedral in Nanking. The cathedral also has a school for girls, and with war waging all around and the priest dead, John dons the priests’ vestments and works out a temporary reprieve from the rampaging Japanese soldiers…’The Flowers Of War’ focuses on the Nanjing Massacre in 1937, when thousands of inhabitants of the then-capital Nanjing were murdered by invading Japanese troops.”

Not bad. It will remind the viewer of The Children of Huang Shi (reviewed here: The Children of Huang Shi (2008) Movie Review) and the battle footage is good.
