    Accurate depiction tarnished by too much political lecturing

    Literal translation was the Battle of Shanghai

    Obviously a political propaganda, though there are the honest depiction of how Nationalists lost the biggest city of China due to political infighting. The problem is that there is too much political lecturing given by the communist army commander and political commissar, who spoke directly to the camera as in televised lecturing in distant learning.
