A strong sense of disobedience, the attitude of a victim in war is disgusting

As a fan of Hayao Miyazaki, I still have expectations for its successor, but I have to say that it is very inconsistent to watch this movie, because the posture of Japanese victims in the war conveyed by this animation is really disgusting. Compared with previous works of Hayao Miyazaki, the thinking about war is two-sided, and it is also divorced from historical themes. It is basically reflection and self-examination.
But the emotions expressed in "Yu" are mourning, sighing, and perhaps reflection, but they use a low profile to wash away and escape the history of aggression. If children grow up watching such movies and look back at this Sino-Japanese war, will they feel that the Japanese side is also very pitiful, and the crimes of aggression and massacre can be forgiven? So are the pain they bring to the invaded country for us to endure in vain? You can't be too virgin, especially the wrong side to educate you to let your virgin understand them and forgive them. It’s okay to forgive, first admit your mistakes and reflect on them, and learn to bear the pain and consequences of your mistakes, instead of shouting to the world about the wounds caused by being counterattacked by justice. It feels aggrieved, it's a big joke!
History cannot hinder progress, but if we cannot correct our attitude, no matter how we move forward, it will be in the wrong direction. The successor of Hayao Miyazaki has his own thoughts and consciousness, but he does not have the height and insight of Hayao Miyazaki. This may be caused by experience, or it may be innate in character. If it is the latter, it means waxing, because those movies in Hayao Miyazaki, about youth, the sky, flying, those things that make people feel peaceful and happy in their hearts, and things that cross national history are always just memories.
