I have to say that the Japanese in "Letter from Iwo Jima" are the most comfortable Japanese images I have ever seen. They are not real soldiers, but ordinary bakers, clothing store owners, policemen, etc. They are the basic units of society. They should have an ordinary life of ordinary people, ordinary but happy. But because of the war, everything has changed. These ordinary people are forced to stay away from their relatives and can only choose between the country and the family.
Even the harshest war cannot erase true humanity. The Japanese army caught the American soldier, but the Japanese army officer asked the Japanese medical soldiers to treat him. He asked, "You also hope that they will treat you like this after you are caught by the US military, right?" And the Japanese soldier's treatment at the end also reflects this kind of good expectation.
The most ridiculous thing is that the person who was going to blow up the US tank at the beginning was righteous and righteous, and he wanted to give everything for the empire. In the end, he was directly captured. Those soldiers who really died on the battlefield were more than him. hero. At any time, being a hero is a stupid thing that will only make people laugh.
The deepest impression is the family letters, everyone has their own family, a happy and happy life, but they are forced to stay away from their homeland because of the war. Although there are many bright spots in human nature, war is a ruthless machine that devours everything in war, and the compassion of human nature will always be buried, leaving only a handful of loess in the history that is like the wind and sand. For posterity to remember. Even fascist Japan, which started the war, was like that.
History is never black and white.
