It's rare to give a movie five stars. But if possible, I would like to give 100 stars to this movie. This is the saddest fairy tale I've ever seen. It's hard to imagine that it was made by a Japanese director. But you can still feel the forbearance contained in the conflict and the undercurrent of calm. The chrysanthemum and the knife are not wrong at all. Two places in the movie are particularly moving. One is destroying the funeral pedestal in Lawrence, breaking down and saying, it's your gods, your bloody filthy gods, who made you what you are. May they rot to death in their filthy old home. What has war made us into? How can a person have the heart to easily wave a butcher's knife at another person outside the battlefield? Those who, like us, were born in love, grew up in protection, have dreams, youth, and a long life waiting for him? War gives people sinful souls that neither love nor God can save. Nations go to war for their own interests, and people become demons in hell. The state will survive and the devil will be judged. Is this belief that people gladly surrender their souls to the devil, fair? Sergeant Yuan asked, I just made one, what a soldier should do. Lawrence says you're just a victim of those who think they're right. Like one day, you think, you are right. The truth is, no one is right. Back to Hilliers. He is standout. He eats flowers, he makes everyone sing, and he laughs at judges performing lame performances on the bench. Smart, resolute and determined, it is not surprising that Shi Ye would fall in love with him. In his memories and dreams, his younger brother was always so small and so helpless. Maybe his best life was only before he hurt his brother. It turned out that the step towards mediocre evil turned out to be more difficult than the battlefield. There are two collective madnesses in the movie. Once with the Japanese, and once in Hilliers' recollection. As seen in Coriolanus, the most terrifying thing in this world is the instigated evil of the commoners. Wanted to protect him, tolerated him, changed principles and laws for him. But finally, in the face of the devil's belief, he failed. That kiss was shocking. The human heart becomes soft. But such beauty is still unstoppable, the power of the devil. Shi Ye left a strand of his hair, like a seed. When he dies, he can leave his imprint by his side. They are all soldiers, they are all victims. The Japanese assassin believed that Hilliers destroyed Yono's soul, but ironically, he saved his soul. Shi Ye struggled, shielded, and indulged, and the life of Hilliers, which was only available, finally died for him. He used his courage and life to restore a trace of humanity. What a sad return. dream of hi Liles, Sergeant Yuan asked, can I stay drunk forever? If you get drunk, you can't see the cold truth, right? Can you touch beauty? Can you redeem the small part that belongs to your heart? But how is that possible. This is a fate that cannot be escaped from birth. This is the only bargaining chip that a people sacrifices to the country. Nagisa Oshima has assembled David Bowie and Ryuichi Sakamoto! Now it seems that it is a super luxurious lineup. Kitano Takeshi is really wretched, ruthless and naive. You hate him to death, but at a certain moment, you think he is cute. I read a log before, the other side of the flower and the wild goose, and said that Ozu participated in the war of aggression against China. Especially uncomfortable. He is my favorite artist. But I don't have the big heart like Lawrence, to blame their gods, and to pity the soul of every individual. But I am still grateful for such a movie, which is so unexpected and hits people's hearts. ~~~ Turn around and listen to David Bowie! ! !
