Although the movie is only a side view, it is a window

I just watched "Emperor" directed by Peter Weber. Before watching it, many people had very low comments on this film, and some people even said: seeing the name of this film is a bad film. After watching it, I feel that this movie is still quite profound, especially at the end, "I hope the punishment is for me alone, not for the whole of Japan" Hirohito, who is not fluent in English, said this bluntly, and MacArthur also cried. I am also a little moved.

There are some anti-communist themes in this movie, although it is anti-Soviet Communist Party and has a few sentences, but it is also doomed that such a movie may not be released. Secondly, the historical education we received was that Emperor Hirohito was not convicted of a war criminal because the United States wanted to manipulate Japan. In fact, there is something deeper that we do not know. Although the movie is only a side view, it is a window. To understand that era, we also need such a movie.
