The film is slow-paced, and although it is about a life-and-death aerial battle, when the battle is over, the sky returns to its natural calm. Human beings have realized their ignorant dream of flying to the sky, flying freely like a bird between the blue sky and white clouds, and the sound of the harp also sounded in their ears. game.
It's really a game.
Years later, smart humans invented a simulation game in order to remind themselves of the horror of war. In real life, there will be some "eternal sons" who will never grow old. They belong to two companies, fly planes to fight each other, satisfy people's desire for war, and use their own deaths to remind people of the bloody war.
Whether in human history or in everyone's childhood, war has never stopped. The records of history books are often lost as stories by later generations, and the wooden guns in the hands of children and the killing video games will not arouse people's fear of war at all. It seems that only when facing the real fight between people can humans see their own stupidity.
So the battle of the Eternal Son never ends. An excellent pilot can be promoted to an ace, but once he encounters a "mentor", it is equivalent to seeing the final boss in the game (in fact, it is the game AI itself). In reality, players can always get through the game through hard work. But as a setting in the game, it is the fate of the Eternal Sons. Although every pilot who died in battle will still have a new body to replace them, no matter how powerful they are, once they encounter a "mentor", it is the end. Like Sisyphus, condemned by God, he can only push the stone forever and ever.
And it is believed that the endless blood donation of the Eternal Son can always provide mankind with the best war warning. If the company that develops war games is the "mentor" of these Eternal Sons; the Eternal Son is the "mentor" of mankind.
To add, these Eternal Sons are like humans. In addition to maintaining the appearance of a child forever, it will not grow old.
The film discusses the existence of the "Son of Eternity". It is actually asking human beings, is the so-called eternity really as beautiful as people expect? Similar topics are covered in many animes, such as "The Legend of Mermaid" and "Jojo Adventures". However, I am more concerned with humans who have been "educated by death".
In fact, even if the death of these closest human children can be a better reminder of humanity than games and history, whether it can really serve as a warning, rather than a human pawn for businessmen or "technological flows" to emulate ? The director is pessimistic on this issue, because in the biggest fight, few people pay attention, and only the Eternal Sons see it as a duel of life and death.
There are many thoughtful directors in Japan, and they have also made many profound films and animations. Yet as if the blood of the Eternal Son failed to evoke a sense of war, these poignant films don't seem to have done much for the Japanese.
Japan is indeed a nation that has suffered a lot. It was harmed by the closed-door policy earlier than the Qing Dynasty, so after the Meiji Restoration, the westernization was very serious. Just like today's China, people's thoughts are mixed with too many contradictory elements: kimonos and tuxedos can appear at the same time, and attention to etiquette and pornographic movies can be accepted at the same time... It seems that the whole of Japan has lost its way, and everyone Looking for a way out.
It is said that there were also a group of Japanese who hoped that Asia could unite and defend against the West. It was only later that they were disappointed with China and decided to stand up and become kings alone. Could this be the source of the theory of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere?
The only two atomic bombs in human combat were sent to Japan. Unlike ordinary conventional weapons, the lethality of this weapon is devastating. Therefore, the emperor said in the edict: "The enemy has recently used new and cruel bombs, causing innocent people to be killed and injured. Civilization...", and decided to end the war (the word has been caught in the news these days, the emperor used "surrender" instead of "surrender", which is commonly used in the world).
In fact, it is understandable that his own citizens have died so many innocent lives, and the whole country is covered with barrens. After the war, there are constantly countries asking him to admit his crimes. No one will find it hard to swallow, and their surrender is "unconditional". , they were not defeated by China, nor was it actually the United States, but the most powerful atomic bomb. What the war really brought them was not introspection, but a dialectical rebound. There are many kinds of introspection, some are to see the suffering of the war and swear by it, and some are to wait for a comeback.
No matter what the history is, any country or individual that does not recognize history will only fall back into the cycle of history and receive a second education in history, and the suffering caused by war will surely repeat itself. Just like the grass pheasant, who has seen the essence of human beings, said:
"To understand what war is, it is not enough to rely on the old events recorded in the history books. It is only necessary for someone to die for it. … Humans see its cruelty, and peace cannot be maintained."
Humans seem to be such forgetful animals.
