    The Japanese may be moved when they see it, but it gives me the same feeling as blaming the defeat. Especially in the end, the heroine even cried bitterly after knowing that she was defeated and said that she still had her left hand and feet to fight. What she thought was reasonable and the reason she had been enduring should not be surrendered because of violence (the atomic bombing of Hiroshima). Just horrible.
