国内多地影院的排片表显示，《731》首场放映时间定在了当天上午9点18分，并注有“警钟长鸣”的标识。

The film, with a runtime of 125 minutes, will officially open across China on Sept 18. Many theaters have scheduled special screenings at 9:18 am, marked with the label \"Alarm Bell Rings Forever\", symbolizing a solemn reminder of the historical significance of the date.

多家影院工作人员表示，尽管影片9点就可以放映，但9点18分这一时间点更有意义，也是特意安排的“警钟长鸣”特殊场次。

猫眼小程序显示，除了“警钟长鸣”特殊场，还有“铭记历史”“勿忘国耻”“吾辈自强”等特殊场次。

Theater staff explained that while the film could be shown as early as 9:00 am天策吧, the 9:18 am timing was intentionally chosen to reinforce the theme of remembrance. Additional special screenings labeled \"Remember History\", \"Never Forget National Humiliation\", and \"Strive for Strength\" are also being offered, as indicated on ticketing platforms like Maoyan.

《731》上映在即，该片导演赵林山提到在6年的跨国取证过程当中，在所有历史和细节缝隙当中发现，谎言才更可怕。“电影中健康换取自由、天皇亲善、食物宝贵等词（谎言），都是我们在史料当中发现了端倪，我们觉得这些仅仅是一个端倪，之后才形成了这样的历史悲剧。”

他说，“这在人类历史上是一个至暗时刻。”

In an interview with the director Zhao Linshan, he shared insights into the six years of transnational research that informed the film. He emphasized that lies and deception were central to the horrors committed by Unit 731.

\"We discovered through historical materials that lies such as 'health for freedom', 'emperor's kindness', and 'precious food' were used to cover up inhumane crimes,\" Zhao said. \"These lies, however faint they may seem, led to tragic historical consequences. It was one of the darkest moments in human history.\"

对于为什么选择当下这个时间节点推出电影《731》，以及希望通过电影传递什么信息，赵林山表示，通过电影更想凝聚社会力量，达成社会共识，“对于731的史实挖掘和史实追证仅仅是一个开端，通过揭露这样的罪行，我希望能够团结更多热爱和平的人士，让这段历史成为全世界、全民族、全人类的记忆。”

When asked about the timing of the film's release and its intended message, Zhao expressed hope that

Evil Unboundwould help unite society in recognizing historical truth and promoting peace.

\"The investigation into the facts of Unit 731 is only the beginning,\" he noted. \"By exposing these crimes, we aim to bring together people who cherish peace and ensure that this history becomes a shared memory for all nations and humanity.\"
