A kiss from Jack

In fact, I just want to talk about my understanding of Jack kissing Yonoi. Why did Jack kiss Yonoi, because Jack knew that Yonoi liked him, and he wanted to hold Yonoi's love for him to disintegrate the 'order' in Yonoi's heart. Yonoi's inner order thinks homosexuality is wrong, so the Japanese soldier who is good with the Swiss soldier must die, Yonoi thinks it's wrong to hide the radio, so someone has to take the blame, so Lawrence (or someone) must die . Later, Shinoi investigated the matter of privately storing ordnance. He did not believe that the British commander said that no one was privately storing ordnance. In this case, everyone must be thoroughly investigated, and the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled should not be spared. Subconsciously, he must maintain an image of upholding justice in front of everyone, especially the Japanese of the same race, and his actions must conform to norms and maintain 'order'. Just as Lawrence scolded when he heard that he was executed: "Even if you catch the wrong person, you should sentence him to death, let the real criminal go unpunished, just maintain the order in your hearts?" Yonoi admitted his words . After the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled gathered in the square, Yonoi did not search for ordnance, but who knows if the British soldiers were hiding ordnance? After all, there are so many prisoners of war, and the illegal possession of radios has been found out before. From the Japanese point of view, there is indeed a great possibility to hide them. In this case, the British commander still said that there is no hidden ordnance, he If you are suspected of lying, you will destroy the 'order' and must be executed. From the British point of view, especially from Jack's point of view, the British commander did not lie and should not be put to death, they don't understand why they killed the commander when the truth was so obvious. On a deeper level, this is a conflict of different values. For the Japanese, maintaining the so-called 'order' in their hearts is more important than their own lives and the truth of the matter. And for the British, it is clear that the truth of the matter and the innocence of the characters are far more important. The two sides simply do not understand each other, and conflict is inevitable. The commander did not do anything wrong, but the Japanese side determined that there was a private collection of ordnance, not to mention that the commander repeatedly and repeatedly disobeyed Yonoi's orders, so there must be one person responsible for the current mistake. Its job, bear the brunt. As the leader of the Japanese side and the representative of 'order' in the heart of the Japanese, Yonoi must be sentenced to death as a commander, and he must be a 'correct' person at all times. And the 'right' man made a mistake and fell in love with Jack, a same-sex. Repeatedly disrupt the order within a controllable range for him. Lawrence noticed this disorderly behavior, and the Japanese soldiers around Yonoi also noticed it. Of course , Jack also noticed. When Yonoi executed the commander. Jack stood up, walked over, kissed him, kissed him again, in front of all the Japanese, and stood upright in front of him calmly and fearlessly. He just wanted to break the 'order' in front of all the Japanese, commit what they thought was an unforgivable sin, and turn all the blame on himself. This kiss saved his compatriots and atone for his betrayal. Perhaps, it was also a confession, a cunning confession. I just like you, I am a gay, I am waiting for your choice: do you dare to give up the 'order' in your heart and admit that you like me too? Is it wrong to admit homosexuality, to admit what you've always believed? Maybe you dare not give up the 'order', then I will use your order to save my compatriots. So cunning and daring, Yonoi had no choice but to be stunned. But Yonoi finally chose to be the right person. He sentenced Jack's death, and Jack died very painfully. Sending his lover on the road to death must have been painful for Shinoi. Judging from the ending of the film, he still shook his heart, and Jack's kiss was the seed that started the shaking. Finally, I complained that in this film, the British are cunning and rogue, and the Japanese are really a role-playing controller who suppresses human nature. . . This is my first time writing a long review, and I'm very immature. . . immature. . . immature. . .
