So, no, I don't think your video should be age restricted. I'd say that your video in particular, and your song lyrics as well, are extremely disturbing. I literally cried while watching living humans being pushed into a mass grave and children being separated from their parents. I had to stop watching. So, it doesn't surprise me that this is considered adult content. Incidentally, this is a good reminder that humans will do absolutely horrendous things when "following orders". Sick. |
That's the whole reason why I made this video, because it bothered me greatly. When I found out about events like the Nanking Massacre and Unit 731 about 15 years ago or so, I was saddened that not more people knew about these things. Although that has changed a bit since then. Soon after the 70th anniversary of the Nanking Massacre, a bunch of movies were made: "City of Life and Death, Flowers of War, John Rabe" Two of them were Chinese productions (the third one was a German production) so you could say that they were Chinese propaganda, but the fact that they were made and getting some attention was a good thing. A lot of people watched "Flowers of War" solely because Christian Bale acted in the movie and so they learned about the Nanking Massacre for the first time--I learned this fact from reading many user reviews of the movie on Amazon.com
Yes, movies are only entertainment, but it can be a first step for people to learn about an actual event.
