Think of another similar story, the 442 Infantry Regiment of the United States during World War II. After the Pearl Harbor incident, the anti-Japanese sentiment in the United States rose, leading it to do something that violated its own concept of nation-building, which is to imprison Japanese Americans in its own country. This 442 Infantry Regiment is a force formed by Japanese-Americans to prove their loyalty to the country. When these soldiers set foot on the land of North Africa to fight for the United States, their relatives were still living in the United States. It is the "relocation center" of the concentration camp, and many of their own people have just come out of it.
Therefore, the status of this unit among the brothers of the US military can be imagined, but it is such a unit that has won the most medals and suffered the most casualties in the history of the United States military.
After the war, in both the Truman era and the Bush era, a compensatory bill for this historical event was passed. However, many Americans do not know much about this history, and this legendary history has hardly been put on the screen.
Gao Xiaosong's Xiao said that this history was also mentioned in the show. He said that he had asked many Hollywood producers why he didn't shoot this subject. The responses received are very consistent: "Who will watch?" American people would not watch it because it is too contradictory to their WASP mainstream ideology, and no one wants to face the most glorious history of American warfare in the history of World War II which is not in harmony. There was a film about the Civil War, because it said that there were also blacks among the soldiers of the Southern Army, so it was forever sealed in Colombia's inventory without a chance to be shown.
Taking this as a guide, a film about the indigenous Indians who received unfair treatment while contributing to the country during World War II, a film about the sacrifice of individual lives in the interests of the country during the war era, one said " Today on the battlefield, we live and die with them. Maybe in fifty years, our descendants will drink face-to-face with these Japanese." The movie will naturally be unwelcome in the American market, even though he moved me very much.
