In this corner of the world, the simple and fresh rural life has been destroyed, the hail of bullets trampled on life, and ordinary people survived in the cracks, suffering great grief that no one knows about. The heroine lost control of her emotions after the Yuyin broadcast. She was unwilling to let the war end like this: What is all this for? Why should we innocent people have to bear these sufferings? And what did all this get in return? Crying and crying about what the war was for, beliefs collapsed, things that were considered reasonable in the past, and reasons to endure for them are all gone, and they just vanished.
I think some people have overinterpreted it. The film does not deliberately emphasize that "Japan is a victim". It is not so much the unwillingness after the defeat. It is better to say that the heroine does not understand war, and even the cannonballs across the sky can be turned into watercolors. No idea what the war was for. With everything she had, her home was destroyed, Harumi was killed, her parents left, her younger sister suffered from illness, and she lost her right hand to paint. The war started and ended abruptly. All the pain was meaningless in an instant. Well, then why start again. What is the significance of such a cruel war? No matter whether it is won or lost, war is evil, which highlights the absurd irony of war.
After the end of the war, the mother-in-law took out a small amount of white rice, and the family could finally have a normal meal. In the war, an ordinary woman is forbearing and strong, and the ordinary people's life is cut in from a head-on perspective, and she does not deliberately avoid beautifying the war. The mother-in-law said, "I really miss the days when I was worried about little things." For people who have suffered from war, the trivialities of peaceful life are so nostalgic.
The wheels of history rumbled over, the joys and sorrows of the little people were lost in the torrent of the times, and they lived with a smile, no matter how big the hardships are, the clouds are light, and the home is at the foot of the mountain, whether it is the city or we are constantly changing, But I still recognize you anytime.
