In the film directed by Ridley Scott, the dark colors and the white fog that emerges from nowhere like "Blade Runner" make the picture a little weird. The American and Japanese big names in the film are also very eye-catching: Michael Douglas, Takakura Ken, and Matsuda Yusaku's true and false severed fingers are also very popular. Behind this entertainment blockbuster, I also thought of some "conflicts" between the United States and Japan. Nick, American style, rebellious, personal heroism. At first he had a tense relationship with Matsumoto, the Japanese policeman who assisted him, and Nick sneered at the collectivism and conservativeness of the Japanese. Matsumoto said that the United States now only has movies and rock and roll, while Japanese manufacturing machines create the future. Indeed, Japan's economy was very strong in the 1980s, occupying an important position in various fields, and trade frictions with the United States increased. Japan was once defeated by the United States in the military, but it seems to have won back "national pride" in the fields of economy, science, and technology. Japan’s bubble economy reached its peak in 1989, and the explosion of confidence was also reflected in the mentality of Japanese people. Matsumoto’s words are a good footnote. The change in Matsumoto's attitude began when Nick saw his partner killed by Sato. The change may be compensation for his failure to perform his duties, or it may be infected by Nick's heroism. He began to help Nick against the orders of his superiors, and even at the end he didn't know where to get the MP5 to fight alongside Nick, and said, "Sometimes you need to give it a go." Nick learned to use chopsticks from eating noodles with Matsumoto and gradually understood the team spirit. Nick bids farewell to Matsumoto in the electronic sound of Hans Zimmer full of oriental flavor. Nick wants to bow to Matsumoto to shake hands. This scene shows that the conflict between the two no longer exists. They have understood each other and reconciled and become friends. Individual reconciliation between the two countries is easy. Will conflicts at the national level disappear in no time? In the film, the gang boss said to Nick: "The Americans dropped atomic bombs and made the sky rain black, and they exported their values to cultivate thousands of unethical and greedy people like Sato." Before judging this sentence, let’s review Japan. Modern history: In 1853, Perry led a fleet of black ships to kick open Japan's gates and force Japan to sign an unequal treaty. The Tokugawa shogunate that signed these treaties was overthrown, and the downturn of the crime was another scene in Japan that emphasized obedience. The Meiji Restoration began in Russia, and Japan comprehensively studied European and American culture, science, and technology. Fukuzawa Yukichi's theory of "Leaving Asia and Entering Europe" is the best exposition. From these, we can see that the Western set of things was not kicked to Japan but the Japanese were crying and crying for it. Therefore, it is true that the Americans dropped the atomic bomb and caused serious damage, and it is false to force Japan to accept its values. It can be said that the two atomic bombs are the evil result of Japan's or self-inflated aggressiveism inspired by Europe and the United States. After Japan's defeat, the pattern was dominated by the Americans, promulgating the "Peace Constitution", signing the "U.S.-Japan Security Treaty" and so on. Did this rebellious nation become "gentle" immediately after being "de-fascized" by the Americans? Of course not, just look at its attitude towards China, which is exempt from war reparations. Japan, a nation without its own culture, is the only strong one. Prime Minister Ito Hirobun erected the "Monument to the Landing of Admiral Boli, the Navy of the United States of America", which shows that Perry is not an aggressor but an enlightenment in the eyes of the Japanese, and Perry suddenly became respectable. As long as the United States is strong enough, the conflict between the United States and Japan will not appear. But what needs to be noticed is that the Japanese people are not without a little resistance. In 1960, when the "U.S.-Japan Security Treaty" was renewed, a large-scale public protest called the "security struggle" broke out. With the passage of time, the mood of the Japanese should have eased long ago, but the seeds have been planted. Although Chu has three households, will Qin die? Coincidentally, in the same year that this Hollywood blockbuster was released, "Black Rain" directed by Masahei Imamura, adapted from the second novel by Ifu Trout, was also released. This movie really tells the story of the "primary bomb", a deep-seated memory that cannot be erased by a generation of Japanese. May the black rain cease and the world will be peaceful.
