An indescribable viewing experience

When scoring, I was hesitant and couldn't say "poor". After much deliberation, I could only give a three-star rating and rated it as "OK". Personal feelings, very subjective, not worth learning from.

Watching this movie is really not a good experience. In class, the teacher talked about Ibushi Trouji, and only watched the movie on request. The picture quality is indescribable in black and white images, the subtitle translation is often incomprehensible, the Japanese dialect that is hard to understand but still does not understand, the daily life dialogue that is mostly meaningless, and the film duration of more than two and a half hours, it is really uncomfortable.

But on the other hand, the movie is really unique in its performance of the cruelty of war. The horror of people on the street after the atomic bomb explosion is shocking. The scene of hair falling one by one will also be a nightmare I can't easily forget. .

    The story behind the mushroom cloud at the end of "Doctor Liver". After watching the whole show, I finally remembered the Japanese of "atomic bomb", and had a new understanding of Pikachu's cry: the mimetic word Pika Pika, which means sparkling and represents the strong light of a nuclear explosion, so the sequelae of nuclear radiation are popular among the people. It's called Pickup's disease. Knowing that there are too many injustices in the world, and daily life is nothing but self-indifference and numbness, but the screen and theater can bring us the most immersive experience, at least at that moment, let you really put yourself in the shoes, so the two before the old man died. Why is it so special that people want to cry, like the throat, "Why did the United States drop the atomic bomb on Japan, no matter what?" "Why is Hiroshima, Nagasaki, not Tokyo?" That day, there was thick smoke everywhere. The fire, the scorched human body, the cries and the black rain... just one day changed their lives. And when the indelible memory of the nuclear explosion was finally washed away by the return to normal life, the dark clouds of radiation sickness came one after another like a nightmare, and the last ultimatum was sent to the people who escaped from the dead. The most terrifying thing is not death, but the loss of hope of living.
