Anti-Japanese, we are not heroes!

At first glance, this is an absurd black humor drama~ After careful taste, I found the profound truth in it~
There are countless classics in Chinese movies about the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, but they are nothing more than two words: hero!
In "Devils Are Coming", we can't see heroes and justice! What you see is survival~ For ordinary people, the most urgent thing in war is not justice to defeat evil, not fearlessness, but how to survive and survive!
"The Devil is Coming" is about this most straightforward topic, survival! The ants are still alive~ No matter what absurd things the villagers do, they just want to live! Living is the most basic instinct for any life! When their lives are in the most danger, this instinct becomes the highest interest and ultimate goal! What kind of heroism and patriotism have all been put aside~ Even for the sake of personal survival, the interests of others can be brutally deprived~ This is not in line with the educational policy of our party, but the facts are ironclad!
Should we look at the eight-year Anti-Japanese War that the Chinese are proud of? In addition to heroes, more are just mortals...
I saw Jiang Wen's subversive spirit in "Sunny Days", and in "Devils Are Coming", I saw another kind of explicit after subverting authority and thinking stereotypes. true!

    Jiang Wen: "I made "The Devil Is Coming" to try to make the audience understand that if we want to avoid the unpleasant history that we all know, there is no other way besides being addicted. I dare not say that this movie gives this In conclusion, in fact, I can't do it with a director and a film. The highest ideal is to have a direction!" As a result, this is a mainland banned film that can be released in Japan. I think this basically explains everything. →19.2 Second brush
