Just talk about the matter, don't get on the line

For some well-known reasons, this movie is bound to cause huge controversy, but I never imagined that rational people are still so scarce these days

During World War II, Japan, as the provoking country, was of course sinful. The specific atrocities are believed to have been seen by every Chinese from childhood. It does not need to be emphasized again. Japan, and to deny its anti-war theme would be too one-sided

From the point of view of a housewife, the film tells us that people who wantonly bully others are not easy to live, and their people are also living in dire straits. I did not live in that era, let alone in that era. Country, can't tell if what is described in the movie is true or not, but think in another way, if I were Japanese and watched a movie like this, I would be afraid of war, because I don't want to break a hand like Ling, so of course this is An anti-war film that achieves its anti-war purpose

As for the part that most people are arguing about, whether the Japanese people admit that they are wrong has nothing to do with this wonderful anti-war movie. In fact, it is difficult for most parties to quarrel or fight to admit their mistakes willingly. It is the inferiority of human beings. In my opinion, there is not much need for us to hold on to this problem and not let "political power grow out of the barrel of a gun". We just need to strengthen ourselves. They can never admit their mistakes, but they will never dare to do it again. Same error, that's the point

Going back to this movie, the filming is really good, the characters are well portrayed, and there is no excessive force, the details are reasonable and not obtrusive, there is not a single wasted shot, the picture is beautiful and smooth, in short, it is really good, so it is a matter of fact. One yard, what is a defeated country and a victorious country, a slap on the face, hands and face hurt, this is common sense, let us return to the film itself, as a work of art, it is really remarkable...

    Those who say that the bell that collapsed after the emperor's surrender was Japan's self-indulgent act of self-indulgence deserved it. They must have misunderstood.... When the civilians who are suffering from great grief are faced with the news of their defeat, they are actually more saddened by the loss of all meanings. . As Suzu said, "Did everything just disappear like this?"

    It can be called a great anti-war animation. It tells the story of an ordinary family's optimistic survival in the shadow of war, a bit like the style of "Life is Beautiful". The film does not deliberately render pain, even light and brilliant. But seeing the second half, the depressed person couldn't breathe. After Japan announced its defeat, Ling cried out in pain, unwilling, what was the war for, what was the purpose of giving everything, I believe it was the best torture for the belligerents
