There's a lot of controversy surrounding this film, and I, like some, just can't convince myself of the director's attitude toward World War II. Some people tell us not to look at it with a narrow eye, but I want to say that this is a narrow film in itself, so why not let people think with a narrow heart. Some people say that if you think from the Japanese point of view, everything can be reasonably explained. I am a narrow-minded person and an ordinary person. I just want to interpret him from the perspective of a war victim. I really can't understand that at the moment when the emperor announced his surrender, the heroine was heartbroken and could not accept the reality that Japan succumbed to violence. It is true that the war made him lose his right hand to paint, his family was torn apart, and many young lives were lost. But what you need to understand is that all this pain is not the sacrifice you made for the war, it is taken away by the war without negotiation. Even if the war is won, if you see your lost right hand in the midnight dream, will you be comforted, won't you hate everything the war has brought to you? For ordinary people, the war itself is meaningless, winning or losing is nonsense, and the end of the war is the greatest victory.
You feel pain in your corner, that's because you don't see the hell on earth in mainland China, all you lose is your right hand, what our women lose in war is their personality. If you think that you have been tortured by war, you must have never seen life being chased and killed as cheap game items.
