The Flowers of War Blu-ray & DVD (Lionsgate)
Today’s Deal on Fire is the Blu-ray for The Flowers of War (read our review), a 2011 film from acclaimed director Zhang Yimou (Hero, Shadow, The Great Wall).
The film, set during the Japanese invasion of China, is told from a young girl’s point of view, not as a history lesson, but as an intimate, elemental and paradoxically universal celebration of the human spirit. Bale stars as a dissolute Westerner who seeks refuge in a Catholic Church. There he meets a beautiful Chinese courtesan who helps him rescue a group of schoolgirls from a terrible fate at the hands of the Japanese. The film represents one of China’s most ambitious productions, involving the recreation of 1937 Nanking built from scratch over a one-year period and the collaboration of one of Hollywood’s most sought after leading men (Christian Bale).

Bell acted his part very well in this movie but I must say the movie itself isn’t good.
