Anti-Japanese narrative

The devil is here, and the background is the mountainous area around the Taihang Mountains in Hebei, behind the enemy during the Anti-Japanese War. Jiang Wen aimed the camera at the Chinese peasants, and described in detail the understanding and mentality of the peasants on the war of resistance, the enemy and the war.
What stands out about this film is that it escapes the concept of enemy and self in general anti-Japanese narratives, and thus escapes the confrontation between good and evil, focusing on the unknown mentality of ordinary farmers facing the Japanese occupiers. The reason for the ban of this film is probably because it goes beyond the general publicity narrative and goes deep into the area of ​​vagueness and reality.
A meaningful film.
In addition, the lens also writes Japanese, but it is not full enough and lacks inner truth. Hidden behind are the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, but if you have any ideas, it is up to the viewers themselves.
