    ①The shot of the boy wearing the red aristocratic school uniform walking among the refugees is highly consistent with the girl in red in the black-and-white image in Schindler's List. ②If I am not from any country in China, Japan, Europe and America, I might be able to watch this film more rationally.

    Shooting the wartime scenes of the 1940s in Shanghai in the 1980s was a brilliant visual, but the wavering between the child's perspective and the adult mind unfortunately blurs the whole theme of the film, which seems serious enough, but not enough...
