1. Shimizu: His pity for a puppy and an orphan and widow led him to be expelled from the military police and "distributed" to this place full of poisonous insects of the island. He said that the human nature of Americans and Japanese is the same. They are both thinking of their relatives, and their mothers are writing hot, tear-jerking letters about their sons.
2. Xizhu: The Olympic equestrian champion in Xixiang's eyes is full of masculine charm. This man with a stubborn outline will shed tears for the bloody horse that fell under the fire. He gave the only remaining life-saving medicine to the dying. Enemy captives who end their lives with bullets are in order not to be a burden to their subordinates, and to fulfill their responsibilities and duties as a soldier. ——A loving, righteous, stubborn man!
3. Saigo: A weak and incompetent baker was sent to the devastated Iwo Jima by the brutal war. He is an unqualified soldier who is not allowed to shoot, fears and complains in the face of the brutal military law, but this is the man who has never been treated as a "man" in the army and has been humiliated. The "saved" Shangguan Kuribayashi regarded him as a friend he swore to defend in his life. Surrounded by the powerful guns of the US military, this weak man evoked a shocking and fearless power - this powerful burst of power came from his simplicity The true nature of kindness comes from the loyalty and loyalty to friends.
Compared with them, the military sergeant who was arrogant in front of Saigo, cruelly treated his compatriots, bullied the weak, sacrificed a group of flesh-and-blood soldiers to allegiance to the emperor, that wielding a bloody butcher's knife, vowed to fight to the death for the emperor. At the last moment, the seemingly powerful patriotic general and lieutenant general, but at the moment when facing the barrel of the US military, his hands trembled and begged not to shoot - under the test of life and death at the last moment, comparing the two, what is truly noble What is the human nature worth remembering, I think, as long as you are a friend who has seriously reflected on the movie, you will have the answer in your heart.
Decades of years have slowly healed the wounds left by the war, and the sun on Iwo Jima is rising and setting day after day. The call of blood and tears under the fire of the war seemed to be wandering in people's hearts like wandering souls under the agitation of the sunset and the sea, - the harm of war and militarism to human beings, the distortion of human nature in the name of patriotism, the self-confidence of human beings. Cannibalism is a human tragedy that will never end. ——Fortunately, in the extremely dehumanizing war environment, there are still these people who maintain their kindness - Shimizu, Xizhu, Xixiang, you are humble and insignificant defeated soldiers, but you have adhered to the dignity of your personality, and your hearts are kind. The sparks will light up the long night, and your blood confirms the brutality of the "state/nationalists".
