Have you ever thought about "corner" happiness?

First of all, I declare that this author does not have nationalistic sentiments for any works of art. It was the name that attracted me at first. in the corner of the world. Some places also have "thank you" added to the front of the name. After thinking about it carefully, I still feel that it is more appropriate to add these three words in front. At least it is easy for people to understand this film. Really, when these three words are added, it instantly feels different. If you've seen...

Thank you for finding me in this corner of the world

The film is set in Japan during World War II. Like the previous Japanese animation films, it adopts a peaceful and fresh tone. Even if a bomb explodes in the sky, it is painted in oil. Ling is the protagonist of this film, gentle and kind, but always a little confused, always likes to be in a daze, and then draw what she sees and thinks. In Japan in 1944, the life of the common people was not easy. On the day when Ling was 19 years old, Zhou Zuo from Wu City came to his house to propose a...

feel

In the middle of the night, I was still watching Chai Jing's "Seeing", and I was catching up to chapter 12 because she mentioned interviewing ordinary Japanese people's thoughts on World War II and their country's aggression. Suddenly, this movie still came to my mind.

I was deeply touched. After watching this film, many people condemned the ideas expressed by the protagonist in the film - praising the war and supporting the battle. Chai Jing's book makes me suddenly understand why...

in an avalanche

Much of the film's comments focused on bashing the heroine's "resistance to the end" statement after the Japanese emperor announced her surrender. In fact, I think that substituting into it is actually the heroine's accusation of wasting time and losing everything, and it is the out-of-control spread of emotions, not the clamor of militarism. In addition, looking at the essence through phenomena, the heroine's father participated in the design of military aircraft, her...

yin and yang

In fact, every country has yin and yang. And war is inevitable. Aggression is also normal. I will not forget history. But war will bring misfortune to the names of two countries at the same time. In fact, they are also suffering from the chaos of their own country. In the film, I have a deep memory of the mother who was killed by the bomb glassware, bleeding and finally died, pulling her child and sitting there. I feel a lot, although many people give 1 star, because Japan is the country...

In this corner of the world, halfway up the mountainside of Mount Huiga, between Hiroshima and Wu, ordinary people are born and grown up here; here they meet people and enter into marriage, and do their best for food and clothing; here Because the ambitions of others are turned into the gears of the war machine, and they are worn and consumed, and they pay for it; here they encounter air raids and hell on earth, and lose precious things; they are lost and return to the right...

MAPPA has actually entered its sixth year since its establishment. At the time of its establishment, it was a little bit (Mr. Maruyama) holding on to Jin Toshi's will, and considering the situation, I thought that this society would develop in the direction of animation films and become Watanabe Shinichiro's TVA first shot is not to say that he is unhappy, but the rhythm of the later horror reverberation seems to be a theater project... I hope this is a sample film, and there will be more...

Why dare not face history, Japan may never have a true anti-war movie. Hard life for civilians under war? I only think of the compatriots in Nanjing who died tragically in purgatory. Also, Nenian's dubbing...

Just as a technical aspect of an animated film, it deserves 4 stars, with a fresh style of painting, gentle narration, and delicate characters. It shows the difficulties and helplessness of ordinary people in the cruel war with a warm story. But these warmth and hope, no matter how you look at it, have the taste of whitewashing Japan's war crimes, it seems that it can't be scored zero, so give it one...

Forgive me for only giving such a low score. After reading it carefully on the way home, I feel very heavy. Indeed, the physical and spiritual disasters brought to the people by the war are indelible. But it is very unacceptable that the film blurs what Japan did to other countries during World War II and cannot express it objectively. The style of painting is very fresh, but the worldview of the whole film is in a way of weakening the mistakes that Japan has made, which is...
