I admit, the film is called 'The Flowers of War' and want to tell a more beautiful and personal story in the midst of all the horror, yet even so, the film seemed confused by how heavily it should weigh each element and even more confused on how to appeal to all audiences at the same time.

The film is set during the Japanese occupation of Nanking and war is a part of the story, but this is not a war film...it's a humanistic film that examines how war can bring out the worst and best in humans.
