Movies with bad views are extremely disappointing with Spielberg.

It doesn't matter to avoid the cruelty of war.
It doesn't matter that the Chinese have a negative image.
However, the rendering of the glorious image of the Japanese army in the film makes it difficult for me to understand.
Can you imagine that a rich kid in a Nazi concentration camp leads a carefree life, and is very envious of the bravery of the Nazi soldiers, smiling at the friendly Nazi soldiers in Auschwitz in the sunset?
I can't imagine it, because making such a movie is an anti-human behavior that will be condemned no matter where it is.
But our Spielberg, an excellent director who made "Schindler's List". This was done only to set the background in China during World War II.
In this film, there is a scene that I can't forget. In the setting sun, the Japanese soldiers saw off the Kamikaze squad, and the British boy saluted and sang to the Japanese soldiers, all of which were very poetic. This scene made me very uncomfortable. I did not feel so uncomfortable when watching "The Birth of a Nation" and "Forever Zero".
I have to wonder whether Spielberg’s starting point for filming "Schindler's List" is his caring for humanity or his own Jewish identity? I really don't want to guess like that, I am not a narrow nationalist.
No one is perfect. Maybe, all of us, can't break away from the restrictions of the country and the nation. Even Spielberg would be indifferent to what happened to the Chinese half of the earth.
