This movie fits nicely into the Chinese ruling party's portrayal of World War II-- namely, that the Guomindang were traitors or cowards, the Japanese were demons, and the Communists were heroes. I've seen enough mainland-made movies about WWII that this historical revisionism is getting on my nerves.
With that said, this is a good movie! Well filmed, well acted, with a well-crafted (albeit somewhat confusing) plot. Take it with a grain of salt and enjoy it.
