I went to see the movie before I saw the film critics. The film critics think this article is not good. The main reason is that the devil’s portrayal is not bad enough, and the devil’s execution is too light, but it is just a waterboarding that puts such a large psychological shadow on the protagonist. In the end, The protagonist didn't even shook the devil and shook hands with the devil to make peace. Fortunately, this is a true story. Otherwise, everyone must think that the director is just whitewashing the peace and covering up the crimes of the Japanese. We have really experienced war without it. All the understanding of war is derived from the film and television dramas of these years, so we Full of bitter hatred for the Japanese, it is the scenes of the various shredded devils in the anti-Japanese drama that make us feel happy, and this kind of film that seems to have some warmth is unacceptable. I always think that the victims of war are more than just The invaders, watching "The Pianist" touched me most about the plot of the German military officer's rescue of the pianist. Then when we reflect on World War II, we must use the word "killing" to relieve our hatred. Shouldn't we reflect on it? Why is there this war and how can we prevent such things from happening? In the end, the reconciliation between the protagonist and the Japanese translator does not truly reflect this? Isn't this a more sensible understanding of war?
