May peace be forever

"There is no permanent peace in human history, so I wouldn't expect that, but there have been periods of abundance that have been enriched by decades of peace. If we have to leave some legacy for the next generation, I think The best legacy is peace. It is the responsibility of the next generation to maintain the peace left by the previous generation. If each generation does not forget its responsibility to the next generation, peace may be maintained for a long time. If you forget yourself The responsibility of the ancestors, the legacy of the ancestors will be eaten up, and mankind will have to start from scratch. Well, that is not a bad thing. All in all, the most I hope for is peace in the next few decades. But that is better than even if it is only One time the war was tens of thousands of times better. I have a fourteen-year-old boy at home, and I don't want to see this kid sent to the battlefield. That's how it is."

    Chinese films are becoming more and more educative and rich in meaning. In foreign countries, it is always the opposite, preferring to think small. That year, "Golden Armor" also went to the Oscars to cause trouble, which was simply self-inflicted humiliation.

    It is rare to see a movie that narrates the war from the perspective of Japan. The meaninglessness of the war is deeply portrayed. Many plots are impressive.

Letters from Iwo Jima quotes

  • General Tadamichi Kuribayashi: [Tadamichi turns up in time to stop Ito from beheading Saigo and Shimizu] I don't want you to kill my soldiers needlessly. Put down your sword. Put it down!

    [Ito sheathes his katana and salutes]

    General Tadamichi Kuribayashi: What's going on here?

    Lieutenant Ito: These men ran from Suribachi.

    General Tadamichi Kuribayashi: Lt. Ito, I gave the order that all survivors retreat to the north caves.

    Lieutenant Ito: [embarrassed] I am very sorry, General. It's just... Suribachi... has fallen.

    [Tadamichi rushes to a cave opening and sees Mount Suribachi from a distance, with a U.S flag raised on the summit]

  • [door opens]

    Lead Woman: Congratulations! Your husband is going to war.

    Saigo: Thank you very much. I'm happy to serve the country.

    Lead Woman: [Lead Woman stares piercingly at Saigo and steps forward] Prayers for your eternal success at arms.

    Hanako: [desperately] I beg of you! We have only each other.

    Lead Woman: [Lead Woman shouts - scolding Hanako angrily] Mrs. Saigo! *This* is not the time.

    [firmly]

    Lead Woman: We have all sent our husbands and sons to war. We all have to do our part.

    [looking down at Hanako's baby bump, and then... sympathetically]

    Lead Woman: At least you'll have a little one to carry on your name.

    [Lead Woman bows with authority and walks away]
