Director Spielberg re-examined the war through the eyes of a child. Although the war scenes were not heavily rendered in the film, the influence of the demonic machine of war on the entire human race was deeply imprinted on every human being. In the hearts of one audience member, there was such a fragment: One morning when the sun was rising, a group of "Kamikaze" extermination team members were holding a lift-off ceremony at the airport next to the concentration camp. The whole tragic ceremony seemed to touch the air at the airport Little Jim, who witnessed all this by the barbed wire fence, followed him in a military salute, and sang an English song sung in middle school loudly.
It has to be said that Spielberg is the most successful director of commercial films. The film is deeply moving without being obscure. However, those who are anti-Japanese should not watch it. This film examines the war from a high angle, and neither demeans nor praises anyone. Many episodes of the Japanese army are also quite tragic.
