This film touched me. George Hogg, his spirit will never be forgotten. His courage, compassion, and love are all admirable. He's British, he's not Chinese, not even close, but he helps the Chinese refugees with a selfless heart. Lee is respectable too, even though she might not have the same strength as Hogg, but she has done so much for the children of Huang Shi. Jack Chen is a interesting person, he is Hogg's closest friend and a strong supporter. He saves Hogg's life a several times. I love all these characters, they're so genuine. These 3 people save 60 lives. They even put their lives into it. I like the plot too. I like that the film doesn't focus on the Nanjing Massacre, but on the moving story that happens in Huang Shi. Many people die in the movie, and these deaths make the film even stronger.
I think it's absolutely horrible when Hogg sees the slaughter. He is so terrified in that scene to see the Chinese civilians getting killed. I was nervous when I saw that part, I have no idea why though.
When Chin hangs himself, I felt so sad, he's a nice boy and all. He is so obedient to Hogg, he's like the best student. He trusts Hogg, but fear still overcomes the trust.
I was so depressed when I saw the white flag in the end, since I knew who died. I will never forget what he had done.

Yes the white flag/kite was very symbolic and moving. Its sad that the fear you mention can paralyze us and not allow us to feel or see the good that is around us. I am glad that you learnt something from this movie - I hope that people like Hogg can show us that one man can make a difference and inspire the rest of us to follow their example.
