Behind the warmth, we need to face history head-on

I've seen the movie a long time ago, and it's beautiful. The story is not bad, but in the context of big history, this movie really stings me a bit.

There are many people who say that movies are movies and history is history and should be read separately. I don't think this statement is correct. No matter what form of literature and art is expressed, it is premised on ideas, and art is a form of expressing ideas. There is a problem with the core of the mind, so no matter how gorgeous it looks, it can't cover up the filth in its heart.

Therefore, we must see the history behind the warmth and remember the history. To forget history is to betray.

    Japan is anti-war, using the atomic bomb to package itself as a victim of the war, but isn't this war provoked by the Japanese? I can't see the reflection on the war, I will only use the description of the families of the bottom people to sensationalize

    It is easy to forget the national character of "harming": the way Germany treated the war after the war was admirable. They openly admitted their harm, but unfortunately Japan did not take corresponding measures. This is because the awareness of victims is very strong, both at the national level and at the national level. This is the case at the individual level of the nation, and Japanese history has naturally adopted such an attitude. Did you forget the memory of the perpetrator? Or do you put your heart into it, thinking that everyone is doing this and writing off everything? Anyway, all the people turned to the direction of forgetting - it was Hirokazu Koreeda's "Things I Was Thinking When I Made a Movie". I'm not a statist or a nationalist, but I just think that the phrase "Japan has never had any real anti-war works" is not a big deal if you weigh it carefully. I have been in Japan for more than ten years, and I have been in daily contact with Japanese people at all levels. I have never seen anyone who has a clear attitude towards the massacre and aggression in their country during World War II. They always tend to detour themselves in their words and excuse themselves: the nature of war is like this; we are also victims. It's all the government's fault. As if it were an unsolved mystery.
