The Flowers of War dvd (2012) Christian Bale; Ni Ni; Xinyi Zhang; Tianyuan ...

The film- set during the Japanese invasion of China- is told from a young girl-s point of view- not as a history lesson- but as an intimate- elemental and paradoxically universal celebration of the human spirit. Bale stars as a dissolute Westerner who seeks refuge in a Catholic Church. There he meets a beautiful Chinese courtesan who helps him rescue a group of schoolgirls from a terrible fate at the hands of the Japanese. The film represents one of China-s most ambitious productions- involving the recreation of 1937 Nanking built from scratch over a one-year period and the collaboration of one of Hollywood-s most sought after leading men (Christian Bale). - - Region: Region 1 (U.S. and Canada only) - - Format: Multiple Formats- Closed-captioned- Color- Dolby- DTS Surround Sound- NTSC- Subtitled- Widescreen - - Runtime: 146 minutes - - Rating: R - - Language: English & Cantonese- English & Spanish Subtitles - - Disc: 1 - - Actors: Christian Bale- Ni Ni- Xinyi Zhang- Tianyuan Huang- Xiting Han - - Genre: Foreign Films- Military & War- Action & Adventure - -
