violence
There are frequent scenes of violence, including massacres, executions and battle sequences. People are shot, stabbed, hit by explosions, drowned, bludgeoned, or set on fire, occasionally resulting in blood spurts and strong bloody injury detail. In a disturbing scene, a soldier kills a baby by throwing it onto the ground, with aftermath sight of blood on the dead infant’s head. Another scene shows a man behaving aggressively towards his romantic partner and striking her face.
threat and horror
Intense and sustained scenes of threat include ones that show frightened adults and children attempting to flee a city under invasion, or being captured, terrorised, attacked or executed by enemy soldiers.
language
Bad language includes ‘piss’, ‘bastard’ and ‘shit’.
sexual violence and sexual threat
There are distressing scenes involving harassment, rape or attempted rape of women and girls. While much of the sexual violence itself occurs off screen, there is a brief and visually discreet sequence of onscreen rape.
injury detail
Strong injury detail in the aftermath of violence includes bloody wounds, dismembered human remains, and piles of bloodied corpses. A person stabs themself in an act of harakiri, and others shoot themselves, creating spurts of blood, to avoid capture by the enemy.
theme
Characters, including young children, are seen grieving and in distress.
