But this is war. No matter what position or angle, no matter who is standing, there is no way to distinguish between the superior and the inferior in terms of interests, to decide whether to win or lose, or to judge black and white politically. This is war, and there is no need for victory. Those who sing praises do not need to make unnecessary excuses for failure.
Sun Tzu said as early as in the Art of War: Soldiers are deceitful ways.
In war, it is about the art of war; when we look at war, the only thing that shines is human nature, what else is there? !
How objective should we be when evaluating this war? How many qualifications are there?
Yesterday, I was sitting in the cinema, I don't know how the Japanese would accept the fact of such a war of aggression.
I wondered how they would react around me and what emotions the film would stir up.
At the end of the movie, in the piano music at the end, when you see the Japanese sitting there thinking seriously and crying, you will know the greatness of this work. It's intense, it hits the nail on the head, and it allows us to find justice in human nature.
As I sat there, I was deeply moved by each actor's superb acting skills.
For most young people in Japan, perhaps their education has not allowed them to see enough history, but this film is enough to stir up waves in their hearts. It is fair: it clearly points out that this is a war of aggression centered on Japan and Germany, mentions the Nanjing Massacre, and there are many scenes of Japanese brutality in the film. It is objective: borrowing the identity of an American intelligence agent to describe the war, in the eyes of the Japanese, this is the true identity of Japan in the eyes of the world. It is sensual: cruel times, staggered destiny, real identity... but it cannot stifle affection, integrity, and justice.
Public film critics in Japan gave the film a high rating, and set a record for the top five at the box office in the two weeks at the end of August. I guess that's why.
It has changed our attitude towards war and the perspective and way of evaluating war.
This is an influence that the United States, Japan, and China cannot achieve with all their extreme means. Politicians cannot be changed, the Diaoyu Islands collision cannot be changed, the anti-Japanese demonstrations cannot be changed, and economic sanctions cannot be changed.
I appeal to all the friends who gave 3 points to review [Shanghai] again. In the past, war espionage films always used the justice and final victory of a certain group as the background, which made people tired. But if you look at this touching and great work with the same eyes.
