Does this kind of film need to be made or watched in order to expose the scars of national shame again and again? Entire generations of us have grown up in the shadow of this almost compulsive acceptance of the national stigma recorded by watching movies. In addition to the sense of national shame and hatred that has been filled with and has nowhere to vent from childhood to adulthood, we get what? Is it really possible to make peace by witnessing shame, as the filmmakers say? I doubt that there is any real humanity in the people who say these words. The real human nature is to avenge the suffering of one's own relatives and compatriots, seek justice, and swear to kill the thief and then hurry up. If you see your ancestors being mutilated in this way and remain indifferent, then this nation is hopeless. This leads to an inevitable question - will China and Japan have to fight again? And this is undoubtedly contrary to the vision of building peace. Only when both sides forget their hatred can true peace be like the phoenix nirvana in the Buddhist language.

Whether watching such a film is the offspring of the victim or the offender, the result is undoubtedly two kinds of revenge, one is the revenge of the offspring of the victim who wants to wash away the shame of their predecessors, and the other is It is the offspring of the perpetrator who are secretly prepared for revenge for fear of retribution. Of course, if you hold the ultimate idea that China and Japan will inevitably fight again, this kind of film that incites national hatred is undoubtedly worth shooting and watching again, but the time and place to watch it is not at this time, nor is it worth watching. Not in a high-end theater with comfortable chairs, air-conditioning, sound, and cola Sprite snot wipes toilet paper, but at the venue of the National Mobilization Pledge to Prepare for the Second Revenge Showdown. I have to go again." The awe-inspiring action of swearing to kill the thief. Otherwise, the national stigma and hatred of the audience who have watched such a film in the cinema can only end up going to a psychiatrist in the end.

What made me inexplicably angry was the so-called director Lu Chuan who said 'my greatest 'ambition' is to let this film go to Japan to show' -- grass mud horse, the victim's family took the images of the family's humiliation and victimization to the offspring of the perpetrator. When the family demands justice, is it ambition that is needed at that moment? It is bloody, - grass mud horse, if you are low in intelligence, don't let yourself be raped twice by the descendants of those beasts. Likewise, the delusional attempt to win or even influence the offspring of the perpetrators to repent by exposing their own national shame in this way, and even lashing out at their predecessors in a righteous and exterminating manner, is undoubtedly a fool's tale and a tiger seeking skin.

I don't want to watch such movies. First, I don't want to have a second war of revenge. Second, I don't want to see a psychiatrist. Of course, if there is a second war of revenge, I think that as every bloody son and daughter of the Chinese nation, there will never be any retreat and fear!

Finally, these three stars are in honor of the 300,000 compatriots who died anonymously.
