      Japan, Japan

      Many people think that this movie is to wash the white emperor, but in fact, there is a problem with the angle.

      For the crimes of aggression, the emperor is responsible just like any Japanese. Those war criminals who were tried were also responsible, as were those who were not tried. But these people, including all ordinary Japanese people, are not the greatest responsibility.

      To study the way of thinking of this nation, we have to study and think from their geographical...

      Hollywood-style interpretation of the combination of reality and reality

      Whether the emperor is guilty or not is just a non-committal question for the "Emperor Taishang". When he summoned Ferres for the first time and the second time at the Tokyo Daiichi Building, he had already stated his intention: to build a new Japan that believes in American values, Class A and B war criminals will naturally be tried, and as for the emperor's guilt, it is almost impossible It is entirely up to Fellers himself to investigate.
            "Emperor Taishang" seems to appear in the...

      Innovative America? virtuous Japan? Slutty China?

      I have to say this question has been asked for a long time. When watching "The Social Network", the Chinese female students who appeared at the dance looked like two prostitutes. Of course, these two actresses also had a typical Chinese woman's face in the eyes of the Chinese. These two are obviously not pretty, with such small eyes, dark skin, and heavy makeup, but Westerners do like this kind of face (I don't want to say it's an oriental face, because I don't see it very often in my daily...

      Kingdom of Chrysanthemum and Sword

      History cannot be assumed, but the trend of history exists. The real history is not the most reasonable history.
              I often say don't forget history, but I always blur my view of history when I am ambiguous, and slowly go with the flow.
              Virtues, virtues praised by us, virtues recognized by them. The so-called loyalty, the so-called unity, the so-called persistence, the so-called industriousness, the so-called meticulousness, and so on.
              Never understand the...

      Emperor with a corncob pipe

      The Japanese philosopher Takeshi Umehara once talked with Prime Minister Yasuo Nakasone about an incredible Japanese myth: "The great power masters the transfer of the country. Power is transferred to the new invader. This myth has no place in the world. In the distant past, the rope The place where the literati lived was occupied by the Yayoi, and the Jomon gave the country to the Yayoi. Myth is the revival of this memory."

      On August 30, 1945, Marshal MacArthur, commander-in-chief of...

      Although the emperor is described from another dimension, it is too glorified of the evil deeds of militarism, and one-sided description of the war trauma suffered by Japan! There is cause and effect. The Japanese people did not die in vain, and the emperor should bear the corresponding responsibility. But the U.S. protected the emperor for political purposes, and the "Terminator of War" is just a way to exonerate him. I can only say that the original book and the screenwriter do not have a...

And this nation seems to be ruled by someone who calls...

      General Bonner Fellers: He was apologizing for taking so long to die.

      General Richter: These people are barbaric.

      General Bonner Fellers: They have different ideas of honor.

    • General Douglas MacArthur: I don't want the Communists in here. But Washington wants vengance on the emperor, because their voters do, and their voters have no fucking idea what's good for them.
