Of course, for my personal standpoint, only bad reviews were selected. The Japanese is very poor, please forgive me if the translation is not good.
1. The sneak attack on Pearl Harbor started in Wu City. After the successful attack, citizens lined up to hold lanterns to celebrate. This is not a disaster, this is retribution;
2. The portrayal of housewives is nonsense. Housewives (including children) were fighting units in the latter part of the war under the National Mobilization Act. They conduct organized bamboo spear training and collect fuel to support the war;
3. The evil that Japan has done to the enemy country is a million times more cruel;
4. The tone of the film that "civilians are forced into war" is a huge lie. The disaster (war) to this world started from Kure City and the citizens of Kure City.
5. The people of Japan are clearly rejoicing at the fall of Nanjing. This fictional script blinds me. The biggest stain in the history of film journalism, it is not too much to say that it is a crime in the history of Japanese film;
7. The place where the husband (Zhou Zuo) works in this film is involved in the management of comfort women;
8. The film forgets that Japan had bombed Chongqing, China for several years;
9. Forget Japan's history of aggression and brazenly depict only victims. To the ignorant praising the film, I feel like history is being forgotten.
There are many more, I will not list them all. The original website's rating of this movie is shown in the figure, you can feel it yourself:
As for me, I have nothing to say about this movie. Since the heroine can shout things like "I can continue to fight" and "don't give in to violence", what else can I say other than "fight your mother X".
I am a little happy to see that the comments from two years ago have now been squeezed into the front page of the entry.
Recently I saw a high-quality answer from Zhihu, which described the life and mental state of Japanese women during World War II with pictures and texts. If you are interested, you may wish to refer to:
