    If I had seen it sooner, I might have been impressed. First, I might not have watched the movie grammar at that time, and secondly, I wasn't so pessimistic about things like culture, and now it's hard to watch the whole chorus scene. To sum up, I feel that this oriental story is not well told, and the skills are used too much. Under the container of war, there is an ascetic-style atonement (in fact, it is a memorial). The ending is the most touching, the camera is slowly advancing in the crowd,...

    4-- Depression, Medium Shot, Statue. Death montages can be sharper. The talent and susceptibility in the war group portrait are anomalous, and they are finally unreasonably designated as the undead agent. To Shi Chuankun: It is still difficult to get over oneself, and it is extravagant to become a Buddha. The soundtrack achievement far exceeds the overall level. Several harp sings that transcend race, position, and language are all...

    Japan is so great and sacrificed many lives for the common prosperity of Greater East Asia. For this reason, the people of Myanmar sincerely thank you for sending gifts and saying goodbye; in order to pay homage to Japanese compatriot Mizushima-kun who sacrificed his life for the people of Asia, he escaped into the empty door and spent every day with the Burmese monks; His extraordinary insight: There is no answer to why human beings suffer so much. I am here to save you from returning home to...

    Classic anti-war film. Because I once saw a Buddhist pagoda dedicated to the dead of the Japanese army on Sagaing Mountain, the experience in my heart seems to be more profound. Myanmar is an eternal mourning in the hearts of the Japanese. Among the 180,000 soldiers who died in battle, more than half were killed by my heroic expeditionary force. But neither Japan nor the United Kingdom gave up the search for the remains of fallen compatriots and the establishment of cemeteries. I hope that one...

    The scene is very beautiful. Moreover, Mizushima's visit to persuade him to surrender and the remains of the Japanese army on the way after being bombed inevitably changed the course of his life. He can't simply forget by turning a blind eye. But you can also say that the entire Japanese soldiers have returned home, and it leads directly to the imagination of rebuilding a beautiful homeland. Why did he stay alone, without showing much meaning of atonement, and just take care of the remains of...

    In fact, aside from the identity of the aggressor and the victim, and the prejudices brought about by the education we have received, only reflection is meaningful when it comes to war, so whether it is praise on our side or avoidance and beautification on the Japanese side, It is not desirable. If the war theme falls into the framework of political education, it will be futile to stimulate more national...

    This is a beautiful movie, but it deeply criticizes the cruelty of...

    A rare post-war reflection on Japan. But like other similar films, the director deliberately ignored the suffering and characters of the invaded country, and instead focused on depicting the pain of the aggressor itself. This eclectic anti-war is not a...

    Not only is it sensational, all the expressions in the second half are inexplicably hypocritical. In Japan's post-war environment, the grief and sentimental resonance of the people often overwhelmed reason and gave up thinking (the film's entry into the top ten of the year is the performance of the public's irrationality). Mizushima-kun's attitude alternated from the previous ambiguity to the final and decisive sensationalism. I feel that the director has also contradicted and worried in his...

    From a musical point of view, it is false and artificial, or at best it is too aesthetic and ideal. That simple musical instrument cannot produce the effect of a concert harp, and the fullness of the chorus also seems to come from a recording studio. Ichichuankun completed a soundtrack, using music to smear the sentimental and tender anti-war theme. The director actually remade it again after 30 years, I am afraid it is not as good as the old...

The Burmese Harp quotes

  • British officer: We've done all we can. The troops that took Triangle Mountain have returned home. The Japanese survivors are not in this town.

    Captain Inouye: But that tune?

    British officer: You hear a certain way of playing - a few notes floating by the breeze, and it's enough to make you think a dead man is alive. You must be dreaming.

    British officer: [to his adjutant] He must be dreaming!

  • Captain Inouye: The songs uplifted our spirits and sometimes our hearts.
