The problem that Americans always want to point fingers at others has existed since ancient times. It is a vivid history of aggression. It focuses on the warrior spirit of the invaders, and does not mention their brutality and tyranny. For the ignorance and self-interest of the invaded, the enthusiasm for this long-standing nation is not exaggerated; while the Americans are always heroic and high-end animals, they will always stand in the position of the winner and laugh at the ups and downs. This may just be an anti-war film, but it is impossible to gain a firm foothold on the anti-war stage by reporting other people's wars with one's own melody as a victor. Even if you're telling part of the truth, it's extremely shameful to cover up another type of truth at the same time. Even if I exclude the above, I don't like this movie. There is no resonance, no shock, no emotion. I just think that Bell really looks like Bell when he was a child. That's all, Spielberg shouldn't make this kind of movie, it's boring , not to please.

    Spielberg disguised as a hapless kid and said something stupid and then jumped out and said that childish speech is unscrupulous.

    A Child's Eyes on the Pacific War, Christian Bale's first film. When I was a child, I was much cuter than now, but now my acting skills are enough to make up for my increasingly crippled appearance.
