My impression of the impact of the war on civilians is still in all the domestic anti-Japanese dramas: the aggressors were brutal, raped and looted, the soldiers fought bravely, and the people were better off dead. Everything stays at the most tragic and tragic moment, all experiences and emotions are pushed to the extreme, and what is the long-term impact of the war on the people, what is the life form of the survivors who spend the rest of their lives under the influence of the war, and works that reflect similar themes Seems rare, at least I haven't seen it. So far, my impression of the war has only remained in the tragic and tragic appearance. It seems that after the war, all the pain will be wiped out. Interestingly, it was the films of the two Japanese directors that gave me a better understanding of the impact of war on the people.
"Black Rain" can be regarded as a war reflection film. Through the experience of a family who experienced the Hiroshima nuclear explosion during and after the war, it reflects how World War II fundamentally changed the lives of Japanese civilians, and how it became a forever lingering experience. Nightmare to go. Perhaps due to the reasons of the defeated country, the film did not make too much explicit condemnation and accusation of the evil deeds of the United States for throwing atomic bombs. The tragic situation affecting the Japanese people can be called purgatory on earth. The charred corpses curled up into branches, the bloody faces destroyed the individuality of the human beings, each person looked like a muddy mud of unrecognizable breathing, and the indistinct beast-like groans came and went. Bombed cities are no longer cities, and bombed people are no longer people. what is it then? I don't have the answer, war robs man of everything that can be robbed.
Although the film vividly shows the tragic nature of the war, the war will always end, and what is endless is actually the rest of your life under the aftershocks of the war. The people of Hiroshima survive under the shadow of nuclear radiation. Because the onset time and symptoms of "atomic disease" are unknown, people live with a time bomb, living in its shadow all the time, even unable to work, marry, or have children... The protagonist's friend and wife The nieces fell ill one after another, one funeral after another... The parade, the people who saw off were always the same, or there was one less recently deceased person, but the portraits they were holding changed one after another, and the protagonist recited the transcendence. The words have also changed from the chaos of the first funeral to the perfection to the real thing.
I finally understand that war does not only exist in the most tragic sacrifices and atrocities, but also in the rest of the life of the person who has experienced it. , there is nowhere to escape.
