Synopsis:

It was the Winter of 1942. The film opens with Master Fan (Zhang Guoli) as a wealthy landlord in wartime Henan. When the rest of the village suffered from famine, Fan still had plenty of food to feed his family and the village. A group of bandits came and robbed the village, eventually burning it down to the ground.

Fan fled his hometown with his daughter, wife and daughter-in-law. They were also accompanied by a servant, Shuan Zhu (Zhang Mo). Along their way west, they met the family of fellow village-man, Xialu. They decided to flee together, but the food and money of Master Fan was robbed by Kuomingtang soldiers amid the chaos caused by Japanese bombing.

Brother Sim (Zhang Hanyu) insisted preaching his faith in the famishing province. After suffering a few Japanese bombings and witnessing many innocent people dying, he took refuge from the Priest (Tim Robbins) but started doubting the presence of God.

Meanwhile, TIME Correspondent Theodore H. White (Adrien Brody) trekked to Henan to investigate the famine. He discovered that despite people dying each day and some resorting to cannibalism, the government was not doing anything to help the refugees. Chiang Kai-shek (Chen Daoming) even wanted to give up defending Henan, leaving the refugees to the Japanese. White's report was eventually published in the magazine, causing the Chiang government to make a U-turn on their policy. But when the supplies were handed down to the province, local officials and troops had a fight over who would receive a larger share.

The plight of Master Fan continued as his family died one by one. He was eventually forced to sell his daughter in return for food. Losing hope on life, he retreated eastward, planning to die nearer to his home. On his way back, he met a little girl who just lost her mother. He adopted the girl as his granddaughter and they carried on their journey.


Inhoud:

In 1942 wordt de provincie Henan verwoest door de meest tragische hongersnood in de moderne Chinese geschiedenis, wat resulteert in de dood van ten minste drie miljoen mannen, vrouwen en kinderen. Hoewel de primaire oorzaak van de hongersnood een ernstige droogte betreft wordt het nog eens vergergerd door oorlog, sprinkhanen, stormen, aardbevingen, epidemieën en de corruptie van de heersende Kuomintang regering.

        =================================


Ik zie nog steeds dat mensen problemen hebben met het binnen halen van een film.
Terwijl deze er toch compleet op staat.
Download de laatste versie van "Spot-net" (zelf heb ik v1.8.1) en klik op de blauwe pijl rechtsboven.
Dan gaat alles vanzelf, de download, het repareren en het uitpakken van de film.

Ik hoop dat het hiermee allemaal lukt.

Veel succes, falang01
