To a certain extent, it is a near-perfect animation, whether it is the depiction of the details of ordinary people's lives or the innocent tones of the war scenes in the eyes of the cute heroine, all kinds of exquisite picture performance, all of which prove that this animated film is in Japan. Success is inevitable.
As for the hysterical cry of the virgin protagonist near the end after hearing the emperor's declaration of the end of the war, because of my feelings as a Chinese, I once thought it was an anti-defeating right-wing movie, but thinking about it carefully, the heroine in the film The bomb dropped by the U.S. military seized her arm, and her parents were also killed by a nuclear bomb. In addition, Japan was a dictatorship at the time, and the media’s coverage of the war had passed the filter. It was easy for her to form a situation that only she and her family suffered Impression, and for the Japanese war of aggression caused by the disaster to the people of other countries has no concept at all.
And think about it from another angle, except that the heroine's lines in this paragraph are full of right-wing tunes, all the characters in the whole film do not show any enthusiasm for the war itself. Small water droplets cannot oppose the direction of the collective rush of huge water currents. Even if he learned of the defeat later, he showed a more relieved attitude rather than the grief of bereavement. Therefore, the annoyance shown by the heroine here has a strong irony. Since those big men started the war and made ordinary people pay so much in the war, didn't they think they could win from the beginning? Then you conceded defeat, so why did you fight this battle in the first place?
Another point to note is that the film does not give any positive shots of the American occupation forces, so there is no demonized description. After the heroine lined up to receive the leftover food from the U.S. military, she couldn't help but shouted that it was delicious - if the director was a right-winger, what would he want to show from this clip? Could it be that the spine of the Japanese was bent after the defeat? !
From a variety of completely civilian perspectives (the common people care about life, although it is easy to be led by the ruling class, but most of the time they are passive and they have no choice. Japan is different from Germany, and the emperor is not elected by the people like Hitler. The leader) can see that the film itself does not have any political stance, which is completely different from the right-wing film "Forever Zero". As for the historical research in this film, it is also in place, so I won't repeat it one by one.
Finally, I want to refute the statement that there are no wronged souls under the atomic bomb. This sentence is often mentioned by some conservatives, but they don't seem to realize that the sentence itself is nonsense. Japan has hundreds of thousands of indirect and direct deaths due to the atomic bomb explosion, saying that there is no good person here to believe it! I ask you, can you guarantee that the people who die after a violent earthquake in a city must be heterosexual? ! Besides, among the hundreds of thousands of people who died in Japan, including children, do they know what is right and wrong? At such a young age, he became a victim of the war, isn't he wrong? !
I know that many people always love the fascist militarism of Japan where all the people are soldiers, and the people's enthusiasm for war is high. But objectively speaking, they were also victims of brainwashing and education by the Japanese government at that time. Anyone who has seen the German film "The Wave" must be well aware of how easy it is for ordinary people to become ardent fans of an organization. Isn't China's Fushun POW camp's transformation of veterans based on the fact that most personalities are malleable?
I also understand that the atomic bombing of Japan by the U.S. military has accelerated the fall of Japanese militarism as a result, and is justified in terms of bringing about the end of the war. But the casualties caused by the power of the atomic bomb cannot be said to be all deserved. Even after the war ended, the United States and the Soviet Union took revenge on the German and Japanese civilians to a certain extent. I have never heard of an anti-fascist country publicly propagating that the people of the enemy country were guilty, or that any civilian was tried for war crimes. Speaking of 10,000 and 10,000, aren't those large-scale national conflicts that involve the common people all provoked by those who are officials? What leeway does the little fart have to talk about?
