Looking at the works of the Battle of Stalingrad from the perspective of the German army, a highly reflective film with a high gold content. The film touches on many sensitive topics in war, such as the abuse of prisoners of war, the shooting of civilians, the looting of houses, the manslaughter of comrades, treating soldiers as weeds, letting soldiers act as cannon fodder, soldiers’ injuries and life emotions, and the most acute ones are those in war. The problem of survival, especially the necessary products that support human survival-food. When the soldiers were most hungry, what the airlift delivered was not food, but medals and awards. This was a big irony. The soldiers worked hard on the front line, but the senior officials hid in a warm place, shouting beautiful patriotic slogans, enjoying the delicious food, and listening to elegant music... I personally dislike the "Iwo Jima Family Letter" in order to highlight the "humanization" of the Japanese army. , And ignoring some facts intentionally or unintentionally, one of the protagonists, Li Lin Zhongdao, once carried out raids in Guangdong, and also robbed a large number of women as comfort women, but the film only showed Li Lin’s heroic side as a soldier, unlike "Stalinger Le" is so comprehensive. "Letters from Iwo Jima" is far inferior to the same type of "Decisive Battle of Stalingrad" and "Blood Battle of Alamein" in its reflection on war, not as good as the sister chapter "Flags of Fathers", and even worse than "Thin Red Line". Of course, Japan also has some excellent reflection works. The reflections in Japanese movies and books such as "Looking Home", "The Proof of Human Nature", "Devil's Satiation" and other Japanese movies and books are powerful. However, compared with the German film and television industry, which can reflect on its own historical issues from multiple angles, Japan still focuses on licking injuries more often.
