Yesterday, I’ve watched a movie (yep! sometimes I do!!!):
"黑太阳731 (Hēitàiyáng731)", in English: "Men Behind the Sun".
Directed by 牟敦芾 (Móu Dūnfèi), in 1987 in Hong Kong.

This film is a graphic depiction of the war atrocities committed by the Japanese at Unit 731, the secret biological weapons experimentation unit of the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II. The film details the various cruel medical experiments Unit 731 inflicted upon the Chinese and Soviet prisoners at the tail-end of the war.

It was on October 11th and 12th.

Modelled closely on a pop-art design by the US street artist Shepard Fairey in support of the Democrat’s presidential bid, the dozens of posters pasted up in Paris last week show Sarkozy against a red, white and blue backdrop.

Each spells out a policy goal — "Making polluters pay?", "Producing clean and sustainable energy for Europe?" or "Saving each household 1,000 euros a year?" — above Obama’s slogan "Yes, We can".
