The Flowers of War (2012)

A most deeply moving film on unprecedented level that leaves you both in anguish and also upliftment for the trials and heroics of human kind in times of war and destruction i felt as if i came out of this film a different humanbeing as it touched my soul & heart to the very core.

Are you kidding me? 7/10 or whatever the popular vote was? This is a classic. 10/10. If you liked "Empire of the Sun," one of Christian Bale's earliest film roles, or "The Pianist," and/or have an affinity for real human tragedy and depths of compassion and integrity that can blossom from the lowest of human intentions - then please, watch this! For American viewers, this film offers the opportunity to step into the shoes of others who have suffered in war and at the hand of foreign invaders. Great job Christian Bale and the many Chinese actors and actresses who made this film believable!

Yes, you heard me right! This is one such movie which takes time to get you out of it. There is violence, love,sympathy, empathy, war! The kids in the movie have acted so well, and there are times when you cry watching them without even realizing.Christian Bale is undoubtedly great always! The girls are pretty and adorable. The story is amazing. Makes you think! May be there are many movies made on almost similar plot, but this one stands out because of many reasons. The title is so apt. the fragrance is so fresh and soothing, it will linger around you for long.Happy movie watching! Kriti

The movie is telling about the war of the China and Japan in the period of 1937.Every war has lots of hard things,that is the law of the war or the tradition of the war.In this movie also there are lots of hard and bad things happening between those how the children survive from those is the simple story of this movie.Movie is created with some characters like Jhon,Mo ,Shu,George,Commander,Young soldier,Shu's father and other small characters.Those characters are did their work in every part.Important one is every small character get some importance in this movie.Jhon came for the father's funeral and how he help to escape the Chinese students with the help of the prostitutes and Geroge.Don't think about the film which is making the Japanesh as bad guys.If any it was a war in other place of world also face these kind of problem.Bale is an outstanding actor fro his young age on words.He does his part in this part very well.This movie tell about some truth of the war.
