What was Director Fukasaku thinking? I don't think his old man is so confused. If we seriously reconsider his old man's legacy, we might be able to understand a little bit.
There is no doubt that the birth of BR was definitely strongly disputed by the society, and many of them must think that BR was too bloody and unacceptable, and director Fukasaku must have been questioned a lot because of BR. The director used his last breath to make this frankly really boring war film. Perhaps he wanted to occupy the audience with a sense of boredom, making them feel that war is a boring thing, as is violence and blood. Judging from the images of some war refugees in BR2, the director is naturally eager for peace. BR2 is probably the bloody redemption that director Fukasaku brought to BR. He wants to tell people that the focus of BR is not on blood.
If that's the case, we shouldn't be too hard on BR2 anymore, we should be deeply grateful to Director Fukasaku for bringing us such a wonderful work with his life.
