Completely whitewash the evil deeds of World War II and divert the audience's attention.
First, the male protagonist is drawn handsomely and looks harmless.
Second, the male protagonist has a melancholy temperament, which makes people feel good about him.
Third, the male protagonist has dreams and perseverance. On the premise of chasing dreams, the male protagonist has a certain degree of "justice" in designing planes for World War II, giving people a feeling that "the male protagonist designed planes for World War II just to realize his dreams." a feeling of.
Fourth, the love story of the hero and heroine is interspersed in the film, which makes people feel sympathetic to the tragedy of the heroine and the affection of the hero.
There are several plots in the movie. First, in the dialogue between the male protagonist and a German when he was in Germany, he revealed that Japan did not want to fight, but was forced to do so. I wanted to stop it, but I was too weak to do anything. That is a historical necessity. Including the final defeat of Japan, it was destiny, not because he launched an unjust war. Second, the final sentence - "but none of them came back" has a feeling of "lost in World War II, it's really sad", and there is no sense of self-reflection at all.
After watching this film, it seems that I saw a standard image of a man in Japanese dramas. Why do you say that? A common feature of Japanese men in Japanese dramas is that he is always right and is the incarnation of "justice". This standard is rarely touched in Japanese dramas. Compared with good people, bad people are not at fault, the fault lies in society. Compared with women, even if a man makes a mistake, the woman must first admit it, and then the man will reflect on himself, and then give people a magnanimous illusion of "woman, I forgive you". Just like this film, it does not touch the injustice of Japan in launching World War II at all, but talks about love and dreams from the side. The main content is:
The design failed again and again, it can be said to have gone through untold hardships, and finally succeeded, successfully aroused the national pride of the Japanese people, and finally failed in World War II. Pity. I also specially gave detailed shots of the cabin crew waving to the male protagonist, which can be described as "ingenious". This is completely out of sympathy, as if every time the person in the photo that the male or female protagonist carries with him will have an accident. A shot of the destruction of a fighter jet shows the shattering of the male protagonist's dream and the damage caused by the war to Japan. But as for the Chinese side, they don't care, they deliberately hide it. The reason is not explained, and they use a poignant love and the shattering of dreams to fool the past. After all, it is you who is right, but you are the victim.
In my opinion, Japan, which has not deeply realized its own mistakes, is not qualified to shoot the story of World War II.
