Spielberg’s most underrated and criticized work examines war from a child’s perspective. However, in the movie, it is unbelievable to engage the Japanese army with the military and civilians. The child’s crazy fascination and admiration for the Zero fighter, and the Japanese army The pilots saluted each other and even sang carols for the Japanese expeditions before the expedition, including the uglification of the Chinese and the beautification of aggression in the movie. These seem to be true-Spielberg is an anti-Chinese activist (why can he still be in CCTV 6 sets Broadcasting? It seems that the Bureau of Radio, Film and Television also has a moment of distraction. Many people did not understand why the Shanghai government supported the shooting of such a film that ruined the three views). With the strengthening of Japan’s national power in the 1980s, coupled with the adoration of the strong in Europe and the United States, the Japanese relied on their huge national power to promote new images abroad, and its influence was everywhere. In sharp contrast, the European and American people’s China’s anti-Japanese history was not interested-just as the Chinese were not interested in the Americans killing millions of Indians. The only thing that resonated was the few guerrillas on the top of the high buildings in the movie's opening scene (there were these in big cities), but they were killed in the end and dragged away like a dead dog-joining the guerrillas is the meaning of the Shanghai government. , Must be added, ha ha, unfortunately this is not an anti-Japanese movie, this is actually a movie made by the Americans for Europeans and Americans. Foreign monks can recite scriptures. Spielberg was able to mobilize 5,000 people in Shanghai in 1987 for a group performance (paradoxically that there is no positive Chinese image). The clothes for the group performance are not heavy, and the people in Shanghai also live up to expectations, and the shooting is orderly Orderly, the 5,000 pieces of clothes were not lost after the shooting. It is said that the director Xie Jin and others at that time could only stop and watch from a distance to get a glimpse of the demeanor of international directors. Besides that kid, this kid later filmed the "Batman" trilogy, Zhang Yimou's "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins", he was Christian Bale.
