Too literary and beautiful "Myanmar Harp"

All participants in the war have died, regardless of whether they can survive or not.

This film is really too literary and beautiful. The pain of war it shows only stays on the surface, not deep into the heart. The real pain is not something you can think about, or it can be avoided like Mizushima. The life and death pain of war and the crazy and cruel thinking about mankind should not be so superficial, and should not be as simple as simple refuge and purification. I have been watching "The Crowd" recently. Human beings are originally such an unconscious group that preserves animality. As long as they enter an unconscious state, no amount of rational thinking can change it. In this case, it is meaningless to struggle painfully to save by the conversion of the mind.

Literary and artistic youths all over the world are the same. Regardless of nationality, regardless of age, they will bury their heads in distress whenever there are things they can't see clearly. In fact, it is unnecessary. Self-salvation is one aspect. Understanding human beings and society is a better way to save.

Some people say that this film is quite thought-provoking in the Japanese anti-war film, but I think the whole film is the sight of a war observer. Singing, music, Burmese harp, local kind old ladies, and handsome guys. I went to TM to direct them. The seeds of Japanese youth idol dramas were probably planted in that era. The pain of war is also a romantic idol. A handful.

Don't put the label of anti-war and reflection on this film, it's too yy. The intention of this film is very simple. It shows that Little Japan is also a victim of the war, telling the whole people to cheer up and invest in new economic construction.

    In fact, aside from the identity of the aggressor and the victim, and the prejudices brought about by the education we have received, only reflection is meaningful when it comes to war, so whether it is praise on our side or avoidance and beautification on the Japanese side, It is not desirable. If the war theme falls into the framework of political education, it will be futile to stimulate more national emotions.

    There is no need to criticize the author for not seeing the other side of the war, because the work is not obligated to be comprehensive and neutral. This film has nothing to do with war, it is a story about melancholy. After paranoia and fanaticism are thwarted, the deepest sadness buried in human nature will overshadow everything. A narrative structure with an ancient legendary style. As soon as the war ended, some Japanese calmed down and looked at our pain from an eternal starting point. No one has done the same job in China for more than 60 years

The Burmese Harp quotes

  • Voice of Inouye's parrot: Mizushima, let's return to Japan together.

  • British officer: We've done all we can. The troops that took Triangle Mountain have returned home. The Japanese survivors are not in this town.

    Captain Inouye: But that tune?

    British officer: You hear a certain way of playing - a few notes floating by the breeze, and it's enough to make you think a dead man is alive. You must be dreaming.

    British officer: [to his adjutant] He must be dreaming!
