I don't know why there are boys in the school who say they cry when they see it.
After watching the trailer, I was looking forward to it, because I have been to the Holocaust Memorial Museum, the kind of tragic indescribable, I thought "Nanjing! Nanjing! " will make history reappear, make this generation of young people re-experience the grief and bloodshed that cannot be experienced in such a peaceful era, and make us feel the helplessness, anger or numbness that cannot be resisted when dying. Experience the haze that used to be in this land, and there will never be a day. .
But "Nanjing" did not.
Maybe, but not quite.
Looking at this period of history from the perspective of a "humanized" Japanese soldier, it seems that all the killing, all the looting, all the rape and looting is justified, because they are really lucky.
Yes, in order to "liberate" China, how fortunate it is!
Traveling thousands of miles to this unfamiliar land, the people around were crying and saying things they couldn't understand. The long journey, without good wine or food, was full of gunpowder and war, and their comrades were left behind by "Chinese soldiers." "They were beaten to death. They could only take a bath with cold water on the beach. They were hungry and thirsty, but there weren't enough comfort women. Their few Japanese soldiers were surrounded by so many unarmed people in the square. It was just a warning. But "accidentally", yes! It was "accidentally" who shot and killed the flower-aged female student hiding in the closet, and the Japanese soldier just "sorry sorry" summed up a few lives, yes, he didn't mean it at first, but As an aggressor, these "sorry" are really "good" and sincere! I was really "touched"!
I can believe that many of the Japanese invaders were not born soldiers, they may have been very loving, they were merciful, they were compassionate, they thought that the emperor sent them to China just to "rescue" this group of "ignorant and stupid" human beings.
But no matter how caring and detached people are, when they set foot on this land as an aggressor, their hearts are also blinded by the original ambition to conquer.
The nature is inherently good, and the nature is inherently evil. Black and white together dominate the world. When the sun is clouded by clouds, the darkness in the hearts of those people is constantly expanding. .
I really can't understand, if that Japanese soldier was really so "loving", wouldn't he have to kill when he invaded? Did he really just stand by and never do anything while the other soldiers were killing civilians? How can a person who has a different outlook on life, world outlook and morality from other soldiers get promoted? ! Isn't this too strange, ironic, and ridiculous?
Even if he "was" human, it was only once, bloodthirsty is addictive, and I don't believe he can remain rational when everyone around him is slaughtering frantically.
Also, when another soldier killed Xiaomei, the soldier said "she is really beautiful, it's better to die than to live", it's really easy to give people the illusion, as if the Japanese killed just so that we can get "Release", they are sending out kindness, they are giving us charity, they let us run to the world of bliss, and they "righteously" stay in the "cruel" world to live a life of "life is better than death".
The Japanese soldiers under Lu Chuan's camera are really "human", they sing, they dance, they are happy to drink the amazake that the civilians had to throw away when they were forced to flee for their lives, they were laughing and playing by the river. They ride bicycles to play with Chinese children, they play the piano, they miss their hometown, they can have sex with a Japanese woman who is a comfort woman, and they can fall in love with her with the purest heart, and they can kill the wounded and take away the safe area. The teacher's necklace politely said "thank you"!
Mmm, thanks!
Thank you so much!
Take my necklace!
Kill my wounded!
Invade my hometown!
Defile my woman!
Kill my child!
Ruined my home!
Last but not least, say "Thank you"!
So do I still have to say "You're welcome, that's what it should be"? !
I really don't know, whether Lu Chuan used such a handwriting to describe Japanese soldiers to let us remember history and not forget our national humiliation, or to understand the Japanese army who invaded China and caused massacres, and let us know that everything they did was deserved and necessary. , can forgive? !
As I said, no matter how shocking the film is, it cannot compare to the cruelty of history, not to mention that this film does not know what to say, and the weight of the brush and ink makes people feel at a loss.
The most shocking, shameless, and most unforgettable and humiliating mass grave, Bairenjian was taken by several strokes.
Instead, the focus is on the scene where Japanese soldiers rape women, which is heart-wrenching and helpless, but it's not just women who are victims. What about the men who are the pillars? What about the kids who haven't grown up yet? What about babies who don't yet understand the beauty and ugliness of the world? Have they been ignored in history like this?
I don't know why Gao Yuanyuan is so firm in asking women to cut their long hair instead of leading by example and just saying "I'm a staff member here, they won't do anything to me"? !
I don't know, what is the love story of a murderer with a "pure" heart and a Japanese woman willing to be a comfort woman in the environment of aggression and massacre to tell us? Are comfort women respected? Or can they also get love after being vented? Or was the soldier really scared when facing the comfort women, and then fell in love with her and even wanted to marry her to express that he was really pure and ideal and a good person worthy of trust? ?
I don't know what Xiaodouzi's incoherent appearance at the beginning and end means, when those slaughter tragedies happened, why his inner anger that could have been the focus of the description evaporated out of thin air, and at the end when they were released, why? After being able to steal the life, he just smiled happily, but forgot the relatives in his hometown who were still trembling under the guns of the devils? !
After watching the movie, I can't come back to my senses, I feel a little disappointed, and I feel a little inexplicable.
I don’t know if Lu Chuan did this because of pressure from Japan, or to make the Japanese accept it so that they could admit history politely, or to be more despicable, to get a better box office by showing it in Japan?
I don't know, why can't history be narrated by our own people in a fair angle at this age?
Very disappointed. .
The raped "Nanjing! Nanjing! "!
===================================================== ===================================================== =============================
PS:
But I still cried, it has nothing to do with the movie, just think of the display in the Holocaust Memorial Museum History, those unforgettable bloody massacres happened not long ago.
The moment I came out of the theater, I was in a trance, the sky was blue, the sun was just right, the couples in the square were hugging, the baby in the stroller was sleeping, the young people walked by laughing together, the balloon broke free from the child's hand and rose into the air , everything is brightly colored, bright and dazzling.
Those history happened on this land more than 70 years ago, and Nanjing was almost slaughtered.
Today's people, happy, lonely or sad, listen to songs and walk through the streets.
