Bushido spirit

I happened to watch it on CCTV-6 movie channel last night. The translated film looks really unpleasant, but the Japanese original sound in the film is still there.

A group of prisoners of war are forced by Japanese soldiers to repair the railway, the plot is not interesting. Impressive scene:

1. Colonel Yankee (POW) said to the Japanese soldiers: You are doing this in violation of the Geneva Convention, and prisoners of war also have human rights. It is extremely inhumane to treat prisoners of war like this!

He said that twice. The first time I told a lower-ranking Japanese officer, I almost died after being dunked with water from the tap. The second time I spoke to a higher-ranking Japanese officer in the office, I was immediately shot through the throat by the Japanese.

At that time, I thought that these foreigners were really funny. What did they think about using their Western democratic concept to restrain an Eastern country. However, is their Western democratic concept really so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people?

2. The Japanese officers were finally tied to a cross and tortured to death by the rescued prisoners of war. He finally broke free and grabbed a nearby samurai sword while the prisoner wasn't looking. I thought he was going to attack the prisoner of war, but unexpectedly, he inserted a sword into his belly.

The Bushido spirit is amazing... caesarean section, kamikaze, human torpedoes...what else can't be done.

To End All Wars quotes

  • Ernest Gordon: Lt. Jim Reardon, Merchant Marine, one of the few Americans in the area, attached himself to the Argyles during the Allied surrender. We called him "Yanker," because he was an American - and a bit of a wanker.

  • Ernest Gordon: When you surrender in war, you're stripped of your dignity as a soldier. And all you've got left is your fellow comrades, many of whom you've just met.
