2019.9.10 Reflections on Iwo Jima
I haven't watched a movie with a high reputation for a long time. I've been more sensitive to the military complex recently. It's going to be the 10th anniversary of the National Day, so I found a World War II movie, and it's a movie made from a Japanese perspective.
When it comes to life in the military, it is inevitable to suffer, and even dedicate to the motherland at any time. In this peaceful era, there are always people who are greedy for life and fear of death. In this "petty bourgeoisie" market trend, rights and money are equated, and no one responds to this issue anymore. , let those with a little conscience retreat bravely, and even joined the ranks of the jackals and tigers.
Japanese, a completely different spirit. Rigorous attitude, gentle etiquette and sharp Bushido make this country a bit perverted. Speaking of the Japanese, the most important thing we can't forget is that they launched the war of aggression against China, but we also can't forget the attitude of this island country.
In the play, Lieutenant General Kuribayashi chose to take advantage of the terrain to counter the U.S. military in order to keep the Japanese soldiers as much as possible. In the end, when the tide was over, he received a telegram of loyalty and chose to serve the motherland and lead the soldiers to move forward bravely, even if it was a hail of bullets. He chose to solve himself by himself, and at the same time set an example of a good general.
The lovable baker was rescued three times, in stark contrast to that marine captain. The fanaticism of suicide is actually a manifestation of cowardice from the perspective of Westerners, and the captain dragged the mine without dying, but he was captured in the end. On the one hand, he lost the spirit of the empire, on the other hand, he declared that once there was a chance to survive, it was like capturing Live like straws. The initial timidity of the baker's soldiers showed that the Japanese needed peace, not needless sacrifice. Seeing their comrades captured and killed, they could no longer accept war. Seeing the general commit suicide again, he has entered a semi-mad state, and because of his kind heart, he survived.
Join When a war comes one day, how many people will dedicate and sacrifice for the motherland desperately? You will choose righteous struggle, fanatical killing, or even fearless persistence. Once you join the military, you have to do your due diligence.
