Until now, I still don't quite understand some details, such as the handprints and footprints on the white powder that the little kid saw when he came home.
The director's butt is very British. Well, the British are all nobles and gentlemen, and they are all tolerant and rich. The Chinese are either liars, robbers, beggars, or grudges and servants.
American? An emotionless jackal, when he gets an opportunity, he doesn't even let his own people pass up, he is full of lies, and he abandons it when it doesn't benefit him. His promises are all nonsense.
The description of the Japanese is very interesting. It is completely curious and worshipping the fanatical side of the Japanese. The protagonist has a very good impression of the Zero and the Japanese army. In the end, he did not understand why the sun fell.
I think there are two aspects of the whole film that are the most sublime. One is that the protagonist finally refuses to believe in the Yankee who came back to find him, and thoroughly sees his face. People will do anything for a potato, but some people only know how to find potatoes all their lives.
The second is that the Japanese boy wanted the protagonist to look at the mango, and then he stood behind and cut the protagonist and the mango with a knife, but was shot and killed by the American soldiers who came to him.
How should I put it... It's really a British irony, but from the standpoint of the Chinese, it's ridiculous, ridiculous in every way.
All I can say is that just like there are Nazi fans among us, the Brits on the other side of the continent have little knowledge of the Sino-Japanese War and have a strange fanaticism about the rising sun flag, like that comic book.
Spielberg had a deep understanding of the Nazis, but he couldn't do it with the military Japan.
As a Chinese, I can understand him, but this does not mean that I agree with him. I think my best reaction to watching the movie is to laugh at the British ghost and then go out and do what to do.
