From the use of montage in the last paragraph, I feel that the movie is actually a double ending, just like a man and a woman in the hands of a magician, who can only choose one of the two.
Dad died, and Hashimoto lived on the bridge to talk to the little boy. This is an ending. This ending is close to the reality, reflecting the cruelty of war in reality and the imperfection of life.
The second ending is that Hashimoto died and his father came back alive. I don’t know if everyone noticed it. From the beginning of the story about the army’s misunderstanding of the death list of soldiers, to the time when my father came back to reunite with the family, Hashimoto didn’t repeat this plot in the film. Appearing, this shows that there is still only one choice between two people, Hashimoto's death, and the father can live. This second ending is to make people believe that even in an environment full of despair such as war, it is necessary to Firm belief.
As for which one you are more willing to believe is the final outcome, it is also a choice of two. No matter which one you believe in, life should be full of hope and gratitude.
Good luck, stranger.
