A movie I regret watching

I can only say that this is the movie I most regretted watching. I thought Spielberg would portray the tragic war, describe the terrible battlefield in China, and describe how the Chinese people survived the dire straits... But after looking at it, I suddenly thought, fucking? Is this a Japanese? Is this the Japanese who killed more than 35 million Chinese in China? Is this the inhumane Japanese who massacred more than 300,000 unarmed civilians in Nanjing? The little boy was in the Japanese car and walked around in the army, but he was not beaten? Where can a foreigner take such a small broken stone when he is caught doing a coolie? There is no positive image of the Chinese in the film. To them, the defeat of Japan seems to have nothing to do with the Chinese... The image of the Chinese is vilified, while the Japanese as the invaders are beautified?

Maybe Spielberg made movies from the perspective of human nature, but I am sorry that I am narrow-minded and cannot accept it, because since I was a child, someone told me that there was a group of heroes a few decades ago, they couldn’t eat enough and they didn’t wear warm clothes. They don't even have decent weapons. But they desperately fought against the shameless, despicable and inhumane foreign invaders and defended the dignity of the Chinese people! However, the dignity they exchanged for their lives was ignored by the great director of the American people.

Use this tragic history of China as a background to show your so-called humanity, but you have no respect for the feelings of the Chinese people. It's a bad movie!

    The scheduling is four stars in my heart, but the development of this old Shanghai British refugee story is a little unclear. Therefore, Christian's acting skills are excellent and complementary. Japanese officers are like the prototype of Schindlery's German officers, but it is a pity that only Voldemort can bring the villain's evil and charm to the extreme. There are a few scenes where Bell goes home to find his parents and the ground is full of talcum powder? And the handprint, Bell's eyes changed from "thinking that his parents were there" to the loss of seeing the signs of struggle later, and the wind blew away the mark after opening the window. The apprehension of the young boy when he sees the couple being ambiguous in the next bed is also well filmed. But it's true that Bell's role as an avid airplane fan is a bit Stockholm-like, leading to the entire film's attitude toward imperialism like the national bourgeoisie of the day (especially the phrase "I surround."). Of course this may be a deformity from a Marxist perspective. From the perspective of human nature, this film is still the director's self-seeking for the lack of family affection and pity for life. In the end, I saw everything that was deprived of Japan in "Peach Blossom Spring". The atomic bomb that passed by like a white meteor was like a dead soul. It was extremely magical and even beautiful.

    I saw it at Yang 6 in the middle of the night by accident, and I saw it at 1:30. At first I didn't know it was Spielberg's masterpiece, but I was naturally attracted. The boy who survived the Japanese custody at the time of the aggression loved flying and loved the people around him who were kind to him, but watched them die helplessly. When I got it back, my eyes were already dozens of years old. What kind of acting and filming skills can I use to show the old age! It's really beautiful!
