This is a work made by the 80-year-old Emperor! With only a traditional Japanese-style old house, 4 children around an old grandmother, while recalling people’s childhood memories, the heavy anti-war theme is also spoken lightly. This is not enough, yes. The irony of profiteering in the adult world has also fallen. I don’t think this film has the purpose of washing the ground for Japanese militarism. On the contrary, Kurosawa only selected the most unique and ordinary civilians among the thousands of victims in the atomic bombing. For example, the purpose is to expose the hypocrisy of the U.S.'s "reconciliation by explosion", criticize the Japanese people for "forgetting history", and poetically allow the "feud" between Japan and the United States to reach reconciliation in the coincidence of a migrating family. Among the old people praying in the temple, American relatives frequently agree to the families of the old victims, and everyone does not hate them. Even if this simple act is like moving an ant, as long as it is intentional and sustained, it will surely bloom a red rose. However, forgiveness and hurt are always the same. This is clearly an elder director, at the end of his life, he is worried about Japan's past, present, and future and expects to reconcile it.

Most of the camera's switching angle remains the same or rotates 180 degrees, creating a solemn feeling. When Cark came out, it felt like the film was going to get out of control. But when the wind blew, grandma's umbrella was blown up, and it still made the scalp numb. Teacher Kurosawa!
