The record of history is the Battle of Liuhuang Island. The United States won the victory, but also paid a heavy price. In the "Louhuangdao Family Letter", Japan attempted to explain the reasons for its defeat in this war. There was no rescue, food and ammunition reserves were insufficient, and only the Japanese soldier's spirit of serving the emperor came to the end. Japan's strategic deployment is unknown, but the Japanese soldier's stubborn loyalty to the emperor is estimated that the world will admit that, after all, suicide requires great courage.
This article takes a timid baker who was arrested as a soldier as the main line. It tells that not everyone in Japan was so fanatical about fighting for the emperor, and Japanese officers were not so fanatical and eager to dedicate themselves to the emperor. People have pity on life. Although the different treatment of prisoners of war between the two armies in the end was really uncomfortable, the shooting and killing of prisoners of war must have happened, but this film only wrote about the Japanese treating prisoners of war well and the Americans shooting and killing them in violation of international treaties Prisoners of war are obviously biased, but if this arrangement is regarded as the director's pale defense of the Japanese side in this war, it is not enough!
I finally understand why the Chinese people did not have any resistance to this World War II film. Today, when the Yasukuni Shrine is causing a lot of uproar, there are still Japanese people who dare to question the rationality of the war in those years, and dare to analyze or try to analyze the right and wrong of the war. It is a courage in itself. At least, in our country, no director has dared to make a film about the war in the 1970s, which was almost forgotten by Chinese history and the Chinese people. But I still want to ask a question, excluding the flattery of the United States and the close relationship between Japan and the United States, will this film still exist? If the opponent in this war is not the United States, but China, will this film still exist?
In fact, in the final analysis, it is still what Hayao Miyazaki said in "Hall's Moving Castle", war, no matter the initiator or the challenger, is shameful, because the victims are always the people!
