What is more painful than torment is to come out of the memory of torment. The hero's tenacious willpower has allowed him to support him until now. At the same time, there is just such an opportunity to let him get rid of the burdens buried deep in his mind. Time can smooth everything, including human emotions, from the brink of revenge into an incredible friendship. But not every Japanese has such courage and consciousness. The attitude of the Yamato nation towards World War II is still incomparable with the attitude of the German nation. I hope that those right-wing forces can watch these films more. To pay tribute to the 93-year-old Lomax and his wife Kelly, it is also the power of love that made Lomax finally hang on himself without the shadow of being unable to war like his uncle. In the end, I also hope that there will be no war in this world. At least let us live a peaceful life in the global village. Even if there will be abuse and violence, we should not use physical harm. The body will be skinned and cherished by the parents.

Based on a true story, it tells about repentance and forgiveness. The cast is strong, but the film is thin, messy, and pale, superficial and difficult to move.

It should be a very heavy movie, but it is too understated in the description of many scenes. Colin Firth's performance is as good as ever. Although the treatment at the end goes against the most genuine human nature, it also reflects the great feelings of the original author, the real protagonist, and the director of the film.

Finlay: When we surrendered, the Japs said we weren't men. Real men would... would kill themselves, would die of shame. But we said no. We'll live - for revenge. But we didn't, no. We don't live. We're miming in the choir. We can't love. We can't sleep. We're an army of ghosts.

Nagase: That's what I saw. So many murdered. So I will speak. I make pilgrimages. I work for... reconciliation. I will not let them forget the tragedy of war.
Eric: The what?
Nagase: The tragedy of war.
Eric: No, this wasn't a tragedy. This was a crime. You're not tragic. You're a criminal. You were an intelligent, educated man, and you did nothing.
Nagase: I tried to make amends.
Eric: You're living off this.
