I am a fan of Christian Bale. He is known for his perfectinist roles in his movies. He goes out of the way to transform himself into character. We already saw that when he did 'the machnist' totally toned his physical body and 6 months after he bulked up for Dark Knight.
Flowers of War is historical war drama and totally different war movie which I was not expecting at all because of drama and emotional element involved.
In 1937, Japan invades China and story takes place in Nanking city and we see brutality of Japanese army everywhere. People want to escape and taking measure to leave the city.
John Miller who was stationed there as priest in cathederal, somehow meats up with school girls who were in desperate need of help.
After short time a group of prostitutes also came to seek shelter in Cathedral. On their first encounter with Japanese army official, schoolgirls are requested to perform and sing for them. In return, they will protect them and provide security. Miller wanted to take them out of this situation safely and secretly planning to escape.
They are ordered to perform at official ceremony for the army. Head of prostitutes offers themselves to server as bait in place of schoolgirls. Miller helps them to look like school girls and make up the whole plan with her.
In the end because of their sacrifice, all the young girls are saved and able to drive out from City.
