A movie I regret watching

I can only say that this is the movie I most regretted watching. I thought Spielberg would portray the tragic war, describe the terrible battlefield in China, and describe how the Chinese people survived the dire straits... But after looking at it, I suddenly thought, fucking? Is this a Japanese? Is this the Japanese who killed more than 35 million Chinese in China? Is this the inhumane Japanese who massacred more than 300,000 unarmed civilians in Nanjing? The little boy was in the Japanese car and walked around in the army, but he was not beaten? Where can a foreigner take such a small broken stone when he is caught doing a coolie? There is no positive image of the Chinese in the film. To them, the defeat of Japan seems to have nothing to do with the Chinese... The image of the Chinese is vilified, while the Japanese as the invaders are beautified?

Maybe Spielberg made movies from the perspective of human nature, but I am sorry that I am narrow-minded and cannot accept it, because since I was a child, someone told me that there was a group of heroes a few decades ago, they couldn’t eat enough and they didn’t wear warm clothes. They don't even have decent weapons. But they desperately fought against the shameless, despicable and inhumane foreign invaders and defended the dignity of the Chinese people! However, the dignity they exchanged for their lives was ignored by the great director of the American people.

Use this tragic history of China as a background to show your so-called humanity, but you have no respect for the feelings of the Chinese people. It's a bad movie!
