20160521, after watching the movie for so long, I don't know why the phrase "the wind is blowing, live bravely" has been ringing in my mind. Today, I suddenly realized the full meaning of this film, I think.
The absurd wartime background is actually like our life. More often, there is no absolute right or wrong, but we are more willing to go along with some values. Maybe, in a hundred years, your life is nothing. significance.
The protagonist of the war may also be able to faintly feel the absurdity and even the injustice of Japan at that time. But in that environment at that time, first, no one could escape, and people were limited; second, the plane was indeed the dream of the protagonist. As I said just now, life may be worthless and right or wrong. It is very likely that the only meaning is Adhere to your dreams, that is the fate of coming to this world as an intelligent life; another layer is the cruelty of life, you can't change anything (the tide of the times, the unfortunate social environment, the influence of the family, the fate) , but the phrase "the wind is blowing, then live strong", is so open-minded and tenacious, painful, helpless, abandoned, nothing, no matter how hard it is, it's already a set sail, then go in the direction of your own life and work hard Or bewildered and devious, all must be so straightforward and unrestrained.
This is probably what the old man wanted to shoot the most, and the reason why he could cry with strong emotions after watching the movie.
Another layer of meaning is anti-war, which is naturally the sub-theme of the film.
