Please replace the protagonist with a veteran of the Japanese invasion of China

The reason for such a strange name is that this movie taught me to look at things from a different angle. In the past, when describing atrocities, we usually looked at the problem from a third perspective or the perspective of the victim, and rarely from the perspective of the murderer. So when we feel pain and anger for all kinds of atrocities, we only see part of the whole scene, part of the whole group of victims, who says the perpetrators of violence are not victims?
In the past, I scoffed at the so-called "Japanese soldiers who invaded China were also toilers and victims, and the real culprits were the Japanese government and the chaebol who started the war." But after watching this movie, I felt that what I said was too sharp and even close to the truth. The massacre in the film, the perpetrators of violence, are directly the Falangist militia, and indirectly are the Israeli troops who are on guard, and these soldiers are only half-old children, what do they know? There are orders to be carried out, and this is an iron law on the battlefield. When the order goes against conscience, the conscience has to be absent, otherwise people will go crazy in the moral world constructed by themselves. So the war became nonsense in the memory, became all kinds of parties, and became a lost part of the memory. When the memory restores the truth and cruelty of the war, as the perpetrator of violence, it also becomes the real victim. No one is immune to atrocities.
When we condemn the atrocities of the Japanese invaders, please recognize the fact that in front of military orders, conscience has been absent. In the eyes of those who have no conscience and are numb, nothing is impossible. That's why the Japanese invaders in China were able to commit such heinous atrocities, and they collectively chose to remain silent after the war. Silence is not because they do not repent, but because they can only choose to tamper with their memories like the protagonist in the movie, selectively amnesia, whenever they dream back at midnight, the truth strikes their hearts inadvertently, day and night, endlessly, Is this not a cruel revenge?
In "Devils Are Coming", the captured Hanaya Kozaburo experienced several tossing and dying, and finally couldn't help howling sadly: "I am not a samurai, but a peasant!" This may be when the conscience was reset, the Japanese army The real thoughts of soldiers.
It should be pointed out that this article does not excuse the crimes committed by the Japanese army, but just wants to say that from another perspective, many things are not as simple as we think, nor are we take it for granted.
