No matter how gorgeous and true, it is killing.

No matter how realistic the documentary is, the thoughts after editing are clear at a glance. My own people will definitely score high, but what about other people? If the Japanese announce a very documentary World War 2 China battlefield, will we give high marks for the truth in their eyes? Where there are American soldiers, there is killing, and the claim to liberate and help other peoples is not the core interest of the United States. Who invited you to come to your own country to fight? If we see the people of other countries being invaded and killed, it is still a masterpiece to appreciate and deeply explore the deep feelings of the soldiers of the American soldiers. When they really enter a certain area of ​​our China (Yaka China mentioned many times in the play is Yakha Chena in the Ba-A junction area), who cares about our feelings.
But the problem is:
I vaguely remember a movie line where the natives shouted to the invaders, "Our ancestors have been living on this land for generations, why do we have to die when you come?". It's a pity, at least the current "nail households" have to say these things before they set themselves on fire. The land is gone, who will throw their heads and blood to protect "it" again?
