Rape of Nanking
The Rape of Nanking should be turned into the next big blockbuster because of the producers ability to create this movie like no other. This movie could follow the journey of Nazi, John Rabe, and his journey to prevent exploiting people in the rape of Nanking. Rabe was one of two dozen people in his group or protectors that created a safe haven for Chinese citizens. Rabe ended up saving a total of about 300,000 men, women, and children from being abused horrifically by the Japanese. A total of about 600,000 Chinese soldiers and civilians were killed gruesomely in many different ways. The types of mutilation include, bayonet practices on live prisoners, decapitation, raping elderly women over
70 and little children under 8, ripping out fetuses of pregnant women, forcing families to have sex with each other, burnings, stabbings, drownings, thefts, strangulations, forcing Chinese to bury themselves alive in dirt, forced narcotics, young children shot, acid poured on the living, and prostitution. This six week period took decades for the Chinese people to recover. This atrocity was so unbelievable that it was referred as the forgotten holocaust of WW2 by Chinese-American journalist Iris Chang. This stains the reputation of the Japanese to the point where the Japanese denied this brutal massacre from even occurring. A movie depicting all these cruelties would surely be a hit because it's not only historically accurate, but it also can be created with great visuals. I also think this movie would be a great blockbuster because it can encapsulate all the barbaric acts committed during this terrible time.
