I'm not going to rate this film because it's really a great piece of work from an artistic point of view. But I want to change the angle. If this is a film made by the Japanese to reflect on them as aggressors, how do we feel when we watch it? Personally, I will not accept the reflection of the aggressor until I die. The aggressor is also a human being with humanity, and he is also a victim of imperial oppression. I do not accept such a description. I don't want to know what kind of stories they have, what kind of encounters they have, because it's so unfair to the side that was invaded. Invaders don't deserve it!
I went to ZDF TV's awards ceremony that year. At that time, the show won an award, and then the host came on stage to comment on the show. I couldn't stop listening to it halfway through because he mentioned the word Opfer. Germans are not Opfer. Auf keinen Fall.
I'd love to know how viewers from other invaded countries in Europe feel about this. Anyway, when I watched "The Wind Blown Hillside", I watched it for 20 minutes and immediately turned it off. It is impossible for the Japanese invaders to reflect on themselves. Relatively speaking, the Germans are so lucky.
