A Disappointing Continuation

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.

. . . thunders reformed Chinese Pacifist Ling Tan (Walter Huston) about the "Evil Dwarfs" (aka, the Japanese People) 1:21:06 into DRAGON SEED. This U.S. Docudrama is based upon the True Story of Japan's infamous Rape of Nanking, during the Winter of 1937-1938, during which 350,000 Chinese men, women, and children were tortured and raped to death (as a follow-up to this same Deplorable Death Cult's torture and raping to death of 325,000 would-be Christian Reformers of THEIR OWN PEOPLE in Nagasaki, as recently documented in the film SILENCE, thereby purging their gene pool of ANY Non-Demonic chromosomes), and NOT the Alternative "Facts" being Force-Fed to Millennials of the 21st Century ("All is forgiven--go buy a Honda or Toyota!"). If your circle includes anyone of Japanese "Heritage" (or of some connection thereto) do NOT view DRAGON SEED, because any empathetic human being would be liable to bust them in the mouth afterwards, in accordance with Ling Tan's Eternal Curse (and such a Blow for Justice may NOT be exonerated by America's Crooked Legal System). If you DO decide to experience DRAGON SEED, you'll watch a frail elderly woman raped to death (1:02:50), a young mother of two raped to death (1:05:20), two toddlers starved to death (1:19:30), three peasants hung from utility poles (1:18:30)--these actual Real Life Testimonials to Japan's Evil Gang-Banger Culture (this Filth cannot even keep their paws off their own school girls on Public Transportation yet Today) shows how urgent it is for Leader Trump to finish the Pest Control Task that President Truman so bravely began.

Just one correction. The Japanese did not surrender unconditionally. We accepted a conditional surrender because Russia declared war on Japan in August 1945 and would have taken it over if we had not accepted their surrender and occupied Japan.A little-known fact, I'm afraid. If it had been an unconditional surrender, Emperor Hirohito would have been tried as a war criminal.Most people think that Japan surrendered unconditionally, due to atomic bombs, but they did not.As far as the movie is concerned, I've never found this movie to be very interesting. It makes too much of the Chinese resistance without showing much of what they did. The movie is too "talky". Katharine Hepburn is totally miscast and looks foolish.

I found this movie to be racist and deplorable with it's use of non-Asian actors in lead roles, i.e. Katharine Hepburn as Jade. The movie did little to evoke a consciousness, as it should because of the poignant historical references. The acting is devoid of emotion in some scenes, and doubly overacted in others.Despite all the surface problems, I did enjoy the performance of Akim Tamiroff as Wu Lein. Also the smatterings of Asian actors was a relief, and all but saved the movie. And although the historical references are fully explored I did enjoy the romance and blossoming love between Jade and Wu Lein.

While surfing through the movie listings trying to pass some time I came across Dragon Seed. I saw the date (1944) and the summary and thought that this would be another war-time morale type movie. That type of film has always been good to watch so I tuned in. I was very surprised. The film had a wonderful story with very good acting even though a bit stoic. I discounted the Chinese makeup and the non-Asian actors so they were not a factor in my enjoyment. The movie went far beyond the standard war era gung-ho film. The feelings of the times and the people came through wonderfully. I would like to see it again to catch subtle things that I know I missed the first time. It was a wonderful way to spend my time.
