City of Life and Death (2009)

City of Life and Death is a 2009 Chinese historical drama. During the Second Sino-Japanese War, Lu Jianxiong (Liu Ye), a Chinese officer, puts up a valiant but futile defense of the city of Nanking from invading Japanese troops. When the city falls, the Japanese occupiers go on a brutal killing spree, leading to thousands of deaths in what would later become infamously known as the Rape of Nanking.
