Christian Bale in movie about Rape of Nanking

First of all, I'm not sure why a Caucasian person is in a movie primarily about Asians unless they wanted to ensure its box office success by using a well-known actor. In any case, I'm not going to bash a movie I haven't seen just because there's a white dude in there. I only heard about this film through this article:
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/16/world/asia/christian-bale-attacked-by-chinese-guards.html?hp

Apparently Christian Bale, the star of the movie, got roughed up by Chinese guards when the actor tried to visit a civil rights lawyer under house arrest. It is ironic that Christian Bale was in China to promote a movie about atrocities against Chinese people and yet China is offering a wonderfully current example of its own atrocities against Chinese people.

In any case, I take personal issue with the section in the article that said that some critics think the film demonizes the Japanese. I find this as insensitive and offensive as someone saying that a holocaust film demonizes the Nazis. I'm not saying that all Japanese are demons just as people don't say all Germans are demons, but the people who committed the most horrific acts against humanity in China cannot EVER be overly demonized! If you look at the old photos of the bodies, the mass graves, the people buried alive the stories of the "comfort women," you will find that they look and sound eerily similar to photos and stories from the Holocaust. The difference? Nanking is in Asia and Japan is on good terms with the West and there are still a sh*tload of Chinese people. Oh and also Japan has NEVER formally apologized for what happened. In fact, many Japanese deny the atrocities even happened, despite the fact that they are CLEARLY documented in photos, letters, pamphlets, memoirs and confessions. In fact, Japanese Prime Ministers still pay regular homage to their WWII dead at this shrine that includes war criminals that committed acts against humanity in China. China always speaks out when the Prime Minister does this, but no one else in the world cares.

Three hundred thousand people were massacred in Nanking alone. Six million Chinese were killed by the Japanese in World War II. Yeah, there are a lot of us, so extermination was a pretty tall order, but I'll be damned if it didn't seem like the Japanese army gave it their best shot! It is not coincidence that Japanese war crimes against the Chinese during WWII is often compared to the Holocaust in Europe. Yet the West seem hell-bent on letting the Japanese off the hook on this one. It's not fair, the sense of apathy from anyone who is not Chinese is horrific. It is as if all those people who died meant nothing.

I'm not saying the China doesn't have its problems and there are lots of things that I think China sucks for. However, if China becoming a world power gets Japan to officially apologize and stop paying homage to the war criminals, that will be one good that came out of it.

So in light of what I wrote, yeah, it is INFURIATING when Westerner or Japanese person thinks China is "demonizing" the Japanese during the Rape of Nanking because you know what? That's the kind of sh*t they did and ya'll need to f*ckin' deal with it.
