Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A 2011 historical drama film made by Zhang Yimou, The Flowers of War (or Nanjing Heroes/13 Flowers of Nanjing) is set in 1937 during the Rape of Nanjing (see Second Sino-Japanese War). An American mortician, John Miller (Christian Bale), is caught in the conflict and seeks shelter at a church full of terrified Catholic school girls, as do a number of prostitutes who take up residence in the church's cellar.At first simply wanting to be paid for the funeral he came to perform, Miller reluctantly pretends to be a priest in order to protect the girls, and to buy enough time for him to fix the church's broken truck so they can escape the city - although there isn't room in it for all of them and the prostitutes, who naturally want to get out of Nanjing as well. But, as the Japanese atrocities grow ever more terrible and the students are threatened, Yu Mo (the de facto leader of the prostitutes, played by Ni Ni) and her fellows take it upon themselves to save the girls from an awful fate.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Better to Die than Be Killed | |
| Flowers of War / int_99298c71 | comment |
Better to Die than Be Killed: Shu and her friends try to throw themselves off the bell tower of the convent, rather than let the Japanese get their hands on them again. And when the prostitutes and George are about to set off they arm themselves with sharp fragments of mirror, so they can commit suicide rather than be raped to death. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
| Flowers of War / int_a435b45e | comment |
Bitter Sweet Ending: The women of the Qin Huai River and George are taken away by the Japanese. While their fate is left unclear, we know it was probably horrible. But Miller manages to get the girls out of Nanjing and to safety, so their sacrifice wasn't in vain. | |

Bad Habits: Miller initially puts on the deceased priest's outfit as a drunken prank, but then begins to impersonate a man of the cloth in earnest to protect the schoolgirls from the Japanese. | |
