The entire film is ubiquitous in showing or implying the hard-to-heal wounds of the Japanese caused by the atomic bomb. However, from the beginning to the end, there was no mention of why Americans dropped atomic bombs, or the Second World War that caused Americans to drop atomic bombs, especially the huge disaster that the Pacific battlefield brought to the American people and people in Asia. Why do Americans throw atomic bombs? Because of the craziness of the Japanese government and the entire nation at that time, if the United States chose to end the war by landing an army in Japan, it would at least cost hundreds of thousands of American and Chinese troops. Will that avoid the casualties of the Japanese army and civilians? If Kurosawa wants to say that the atomic bomb caused civilian casualties is wrong, then the countless casualties of civilians in China, Vietnam, and the Philippines and civilians in Pearl Harbor in the United States caused by Japanese aggression in World War II are not historical injuries to the people of these countries. pain? I also think that all wars are unjust. However, as one of the initiators of World War II, Japan must bear the most responsibility for the unjustness of this war!
In fact, in the first twenty minutes, the tone of the film was basically set. It is really because it is Kurosawa Akira's film that I insisted on watching it, and I have been looking forward to the later part of the Japanese reflection. Unfortunately, there was none until the end. Heroes can be late, and it seems that masters also have times when they are confused. That brain-disabled Richard Gill even apologized to the old Japanese lady on behalf of the Americans, which is simply outrageous!
What I want to show is that I am not a blind anti-Japanese person myself. But in terms of its attitude towards World War II, Japan should really learn from Germany. Germany can shoot films like Sophie Scholl: The Final Days and Stalingrad that reflect on their own historical crimes, and the Japanese are still moaning and clamoring for the pain they suffered at the end of World War II. Even if he is Kurosawa Akira, I will despise him!
This is the lowest evaluation I have ever given to a film. If the highest score is 10, the lowest score I have ever given is 4 points, and I only give 2 points for this film. The only thing that left a good impression on me in the film was the recurring aria. I think it should be from whose requiem, but there is no Chinese or English translation of the ending subtitles, so I don't know where it came from.
