Some people ask why they stand in the Japanese perspective.
Lu Chuan:
Actually, only 1/4 of it is from the Japanese perspective. In the past, we made a lot of anti-Japanese films from our own perspective, but they were never recognized by the world; I hope this film can go to the world and let everyone see the hardships we have suffered.
Therefore. Please do not question the national distress complex of the entire Chinese community. People will be very resentful.
But! Resentment is useless. If our sufferings are not seen by others, or even unwilling to see them, then those sufferings will always be our own sufferings.
The most powerful weapon may just be the softest sword. But it can pierce sharply every place it reaches.
Therefore, if hatred is just hatred, it is most useless.
Do your best to do something, even if you don't litter, it's a kind of effort. Just another way of thinking: Japan is clean, and we are cleaner than them.
This is an example, do not attack. Thank you! ]
Need to choose 100 women to be comfort women for 3 weeks, Jiang Yiyan raised her hand and said with a nonchalant expression, I will go.
I started crying from here. And once the first tear was shed, then it was like a broken string, which could not be restrained.
Because it was too sad, I had to lie down in the end.
The spectacle of war, because of Hollywood, no longer shocks me.
The heroes of the special era, because of those familiar names and almost the same style of wording, can no longer move me.
However, small people in a certain context, like pearl oysters on the beach, always attract me a little closer to them, and then I am deeply attracted.
I think that many times we are misled by the unified routine of the Anti-Japanese War movies.
There is always a need for national excitement, always a generous hero.
Some people feel that there are no more heroes like *** or *** in our era. So people say that our time is going backwards, it is degenerating.
I said no. There are never any heroes. The so-called hero is used to motivate people to move forward.
And in a war that broke out in an instant, everything went from calm to downhill, and people didn't have time to think about too many things.
In this world, no one is perfect and no one is a complete asshole.
We are all little people. When the camera is positioned on a certain face from the perspective of the crowd, you will find that at that moment, he is plain and unforgettable.
I like how the director portrays everyone calmly.
No one is a true hero, and no one truly wins in this era.
All people are for one belief: to live.
If it were me, I would have raised my hand when I needed to choose 100 women to be comfort women. Life has entered the penultimate stage, and I wouldn't mind making a bargaining chip in exchange for something precious at the time.
If it were me, I would also protect my family to the best of my ability. Whether or not I know something will bring greater destruction, all I can do is keep us all alive now.
When a movie reminds people of themselves, and when they watch it, they feel like they are there, and I think it's a good movie.
You don't feel that the scene is so grand that your entire vision is distracted. You will focus all your attention on a certain point, every word and every look of his touches your heart, and you are really agreeing with his words and deeds.
You have to admit that everyone has a light and a dark side.
Because I was watching the premiere, I was fortunate to see two Japanese soldiers who acted in person at the scene.
I can't help but feel more respect for such actors.
They are different from us, and every shot they experience is a challenge to their original perception.
And when the film ends, their lives go on, they may need to go back to their country, and they have a longer way to go.
They are not regarded as heroes here, and they may also be questioned by public opinion when they return to their homeland.
And we should thank them for participating in such a film. At the same time, I would like to thank all the Japanese actors who participated in the anti-Japanese war theme.
Our hatred of the aggressor does not have to be imposed on those who open our hearts to us, but we need to open our hearts too.
If it is said that people are forgetting in this era, I cannot agree with this conclusion.
The most angry so-called patriotic youths are boring people who abuse each other on the Internet.
Among the many people who helped former victims seek justice from the Japanese government, there are volunteers from China and Japan, but there has never been a so-called angry youth.
If people who still hate after watching this film, I think they are watching this film with their old understanding of anti-Japanese war-themed films.
They are indeed out of date.
