I don't like watching war movies, but my fellow males are obsessed with such topics. Especially the anti-Japanese drama, even the old black-and-white movies like tunnel warfare and mine warfare can never get tired of. Quite a few of my parents hated the "Japanese Devil", and they should and cannot do without the education of movies.
As a progressive young man who has received patriotic education since childhood, I have also visited many revolutionary history memorials and cursed devils passionately. However, what I hate is those murderous demons who commit heinous crimes and still have no repentance. They hate war, even if they are launched in the name of justice.
The film is based on real people and real events, and the cast is still very strong. It's just that Colin Firth and Nicole Kidman are really at odds. If it is a softer face, a more friendly female protagonist may be more suitable. Uncle Colin is as calm as ever, and the actor has been transformed from the initial escape, the deep pain in his heart to the torment of the war; the face of the memory, and the final liberation, in a layered and moving interpretation.
I believe that the protagonist is truly relieved in the end. It is not so much forgiving the other party, it is more about letting go of his own life, so that he can continue to live with peace of mind.
At the end of the story, subtitled, the male protagonist actually became friends with the Japanese devils and lived to be more than ninety years old.
I remember that several European and American movies are discussing the sensitive topic of "abolition of the death penalty". Supporters believe that the death penalty does not really play a deterrent effect, but can only encourage killing. Executing the criminal to death will not give the victim's family real comfort. Only by letting go of hatred and choosing to forgive can we get peace for the rest of my life. This argument seems quite in line with the theme of the film.
In the eyes of those of us who have visited the Nanjing Massacre, the "shadow of the little black house", which has been suffering from death and life for so many years, is really nothing. Those are probably only the first level of torture suffered by revolutionary martyrs. I don't think the male lead can be called the "strongest and bravest man" in the army at all. Even if it is not for your own sake, you should speak out for your dead friends!
Anyway, I feel that this kind of beast is not as good as a crime. If it doesn't work, you must always remember it and wait for an opportunity to take revenge! Yes, I am such a petty citizen.
