The Children of Huang Shi By Robert Koehler Variety, May 2, 2008 The heroic true tale of a Brit journalist’s rescue of dozens of orphaned Chinese youth in the face of an advancing Japanese army has become a cloddish if gorgeous-looking wartime adventure epic in “The Children of Huang Shi.” Giving Jonathan Rhys Meyers the kind of manly yet paternal role Spencer Tracy once mastered, this carefully wrought international production relates the basic story of reporter George Hogg without any vibrancy, emotion or style. Late-act romantic touches seem unlikely...

Two of the deleted scenes feature Jonathan’s character Louis. I’ve made and added 56 screen caps from the first deleted scene. More on the way.
