Violence supervision in Conan

Chapter 640: The audience, shocked by the atrocities committed by the Japanese army, admires Takeshi Onino.
Rabe, through his courage and wisdom, successfully saved everyone in the factory.

However, the crisis did not end there.

The defenses of Nanjing had completely collapsed, and the Japanese army was at the city gates. The vast capital of China had fallen into the control of the Japanese army.

After a night of bombing, the entire city of Nanjing was in ruins, with rubble everywhere and countless dead and injured.

The hospital was overflowing with wounded soldiers with severed limbs and amputations.

However, the Japanese army, the instigators, scattered leaflets all over the city, shamelessly writing: "The Japanese are your trusted friends."

This was an attempt to break down the remaining resistance forces in Nanjing.

Faced with this situation, the next day, foreigners in Nanjing gathered together for an emergency meeting.

At the meeting, some suggested setting up a safety zone similar to that of Shanghai, where civilians could freely enter and exit, while troops from both sides were prohibited from entering the safety zone.

However, Rabe, who was misled, believed that the Japanese army was being cooperative and that there was no need to establish a safety zone. He even produced Japanese propaganda leaflets as proof.

But before he could finish speaking, Dr. Robert, covered in blood, walked in.

In contrast to the deceptive propaganda leaflets in Rabe's hands, Dr. Robert exposed the brutality of the Japanese army with harsh reality.

The wounded lying in the hospital and the piles of corpses outside are the best proof!

Faced with the undeniable facts, Rabe was speechless.

Ultimately, everyone unanimously decided to establish a safe zone, and Ms. Minnie Vautrin, the principal of Ginling Girls' School, nominated Rabe to serve as its president.

Because he is German and also an NC.

Although Rabe was forced to join.

But at this time, his identity was the best protection, and the Japanese army dared not act recklessly.

At this point, the audience didn't feel much, after all, it was war, and casualties were inevitable.

At most, they could only lament that human life was worthless during wartime and feel sympathy for the innocent people of Nanjing.

However, those who had read Mr. Zhang's book became serious.

They knew that a truly cruel hell was about to begin...

On the big screen, things took a turn.

Just as the first meeting was about to begin in the safe zone, Rabe was late. Dr. Robert told everyone that Rabe and his wife were already on the first-class passenger list for the cruise ship leaving Nanjing that day.

Clearly, the Rabes wanted to leave Nanjing.

Everyone was immediately disappointed.

Only Ms. Minnie Vautrin remained convinced that Rabe was not someone who deserted his post.

When the group rushed to the dock, they indeed spotted John Rabe and his wife in the crowd.

It looks like they really are going to run away.

However, just as Mrs. Rabe boarded the ship and the cruise ship was preparing to set sail, Rabe stopped and did not board.

It turns out that he never intended to leave from the beginning; the reason he did this was so that his wife could board the ship with peace of mind.

But Rabe never expected that Japanese planes would suddenly attack the cruise ship, bombing and sinking it.

This was intended to deter foreigners in Nanjing.

No one can leave without their permission.

Faced with his wife's unexpected death, Rabe was devastated, but he knew that countless people were waiting for him to save them, and he had to pull himself together.

Thanks to the efforts of Rabe and others, the Japanese army was forced to compromise, and the safety zone was finally established, sheltering many Nanjing residents.

On the other side, the Japanese army, which had completely taken control of Nanjing, finally showed its fangs. First were the prisoners of war of the National Revolutionary Army.

The Japanese soldiers cunningly tricked the prisoners into standing in a row by offering them hot soup, but what awaited them was not hot soup, but cold bullets.

Amidst the continuous roar of machine gun fire, rows of prisoners fell.

From the very beginning, the Japanese army never intended to take prisoners.

The brutality of the Japanese army made the audience frown.

But this is not the end.

The inhuman Japanese soldiers actually launched a so-called "beheading contest" in the city, with the one who beheaded the most people within a set time winning.

The Japanese soldiers brandished their butcher knives with great enthusiasm, paying no heed to whether their victims were elderly people with white hair or frail women and children.

It was like slaughtering livestock, one cut at a time, killing with great relish.

Even Rabe's driver was dragged away by the cruel Japanese soldiers simply for getting out of the car to smoke, and Rabe could only watch helplessly as his head was chopped off.

The screening room was completely silent at this moment.

These scenes were presented to the audience in a straightforward and bloody manner without any embellishment by Takeshi Ono.

This is also why the movie was rated R.

Even if it would affect box office revenue, Takeshi Ono never considered cutting these scenes.

He neither embellished nor exaggerated the facts; he simply filmed the atrocities committed by the Japanese army.

Even so, it still greatly shocked everyone.

The Japanese soldiers' actions have crossed the line.

Taking pleasure in killing one's own kind—even an animal wouldn't do that, would it?
However, the Japanese army was having a great time doing it.

Watching the Japanese soldiers, their faces beaming with excitement, ruthlessly beheading innocent civilians as if they were playing a game, rage surged in the eyes of all the spectators.

This has nothing to do with nationality or race; it's just that the actions of the Japanese army are so outrageous and challenge everyone's values.

Because of Japan's long-standing self-glorification, in the eyes of Westerners, Japanese people are a polite nation, but they never imagined that on the battlefield, the enemy would be more animalistic than animals!
Even the Japanese audience at the scene fell silent.

Aside from extreme right-wing extremists, it would be difficult for any normal person to remain unmoved upon witnessing such a scene.

This has gone beyond the scope of war; it is an utterly inhumane act of brutality!

Some people don't believe it, thinking that Ono Takeshi is deliberately smearing him, but most rational people understand that Ono Takeshi is just filming the facts.

But...did my ancestors really do such a thing? Why is it different from what is described in textbooks?
Weren't they here to liberate China and Southeast Asia?
The Japanese audience was in a state of confusion, their long-held beliefs being severely challenged.

At the same time, they felt extremely uncomfortable, as if the people around them were giving them strange looks.

In the front row of the guest seats, Spielberg and James Cameron both showed expressions of surprise.

They never expected that Takeshi Ono would dare to film this, tearing away the fig leaf of his "motherland"!
The two men admitted their inferiority, saying they certainly couldn't have done it. When Spielberg was filming "Schindler's List," he only focused on depicting Schindler's act of saving lives, rather than the cruelty and ruthlessness of the German army.

Of course, the German army was far less brutal than the Japanese army.

The two of them immediately felt a deep respect for Oni Takeshi.

The other person is a pure soul who is willing to give everything for art!

The art of farting!

Oni no Takeshi secretly curled his lip.

I'm just trying to make my life more difficult.
