I understand the need for editing, but leaving out the important parts; some of which you make references of; while dragging out inane scenes like her crawling on the roof, WTF?! Also, why was Hatsumomo's hair down all the time? In the book it was a very big deal about the hair and that finally seeing it down was an indication of how far she had fallen! I felt, too, that the movie alternately sweetened up/completely ignored how cruely Chiyo was treated....This is turning into a rant, I'd better stop.
My bf noticed this, and wondered the same thing. I wonder what the deal was.Originally Posted by Yekhefa

(See the Rape of Nanking for further indo) Meaning... there has been alot of strain between the Japanese and Chinese for centuries so I can understand the animosity especially from the Japanese but then it may have been done purposefully since throughout Japanese history the emperor has explicitly stated that they descend from God and therefore are superior. .gif)
