violence
In a prolonged sequence, a large crowd of civilians is massacred by soldiers who open fire on them and slash swords in undetailed fashion. Victims fall dead and are trampled on in the chaos by those fleeing from the threat, and there is occasional sight of aftermath bloody injury. Fighting breaks out amongst crew members on board a battleship in which punches are exchanged and people are thrown overboard. A man sees silhouettes of bodies hanging as he imagines their execution.
additional issues
A man makes an antisemitic comment, but is turned on and beaten by a crowd challenging his discriminatory sentiments. Very mild upsetting scenes are centred on bereavement. There is occasional smoking in a historical context.
