I just watched it. After watching it for an hour and fifty minutes, I felt the same as the original poster. I couldn’t help but secretly cheer for this movie, just like everyone who has watched "Tokyo Judgment" The inspired descendants of Yan and Huang are the same. You have no doubt about the motive of making this movie. In the chaotic and lack of fighting spirit of the Chinese film industry, it is really rare for such a Hong Kong director to stand up and be willing to spend all his money to "do something for the country."

Most of the plot of the film unfolds at the International Tribunal for the Far East and the home of Tian Fangzi, played by Lin Xilei. The highlight is undoubtedly in the court: the judges and prosecutors sitting upright, and the Chinese legal team who are well-informed and argued hard. , the aggressive Japanese lawyer who confused right and wrong, the nervous audience, and the professionally sensitive reporter all authentically restored the ups and downs and grand scenes of the trial court at that time; and in contrast, Tian Yoshiko's family also In a baptism - the Japanese veteran played by Eric Tsang, Tian Fangzi's brother, returned from the battlefield in China and drank every day, full of guilt; the little sister responded to the Japanese government's call and went to China to join the army, but the result was He became a plaything of his own country's army, but fortunately he escaped. The family basically doesn’t look like a family. The "Ta Kung Pao" reporter played by Zhu Xiaotian is caught in a dilemma between national interests, personal mission and love with Tian Fangzi. "Tokyo Trial" truly records the deep suffering that a cruel war brought to the people of the two countries. In the end, China deservedly won the trial, and the Japanese family was ultimately ruined.

I have to admit that the performance of Liu Songren, who plays the Chinese judge Mei Ru'ao in this film, is quite outstanding. He is already an actor of my uncle's generation. He is a Hong Kong actor from the era of "Scent of Osmanthus in August". I was originally doubtful about his suitability for the role. After watching it, you will admire him. There is no doubt that he is a talented actor. Not to mention that he has "everything at his fingertips" in professional English. The key is that when he doesn't have a role, the director gives him a lot of close-ups. You can still feel that "silence is better than sound at this time." In the words of my friend, "Liu Songren Eyes can act." When the war criminal pretended to be ill in an attempt to escape punishment, Mei Ruao looked at him without saying a word, his eyes full of contempt and anger. When the Chinese witnesses came to testify, Mei Ruao still did not speak, but his eyes There is pain everywhere. He completely overturned my impression of his original butter boy. Another outstanding character I think is the actor who plays the role of the Chief Inspector of the United States, Joseph Guinan. Although he is a foreigner, I admire his natural and determined performance of his unremitting struggle for justice. Maybe it's because he has more roles, so I'm very impressed with him. Speaking of acting, the Japanese lawyer Ichiro Hirose played the role of a cunning old man with a cold heart hidden under his stereotyped face.

Then I have to say how I felt after seeing Yingda. I didn’t even understand why I almost laughed when I saw Yingda. I still feel guilty inside. As soon as his Beijing-accented English came out, I was thinking, he has only been studying in the United States for a few months, right? In addition to the fact that Yingda is white and fat, he looks too rich, unlike the people who experienced great suffering and hatred in the early days of liberation. Having said that, his acting skills are worthy of recognition. There is an aura in his movements, a majestic aura of justice and inviolability. The performances of Eric Tsang and Eric Tsang are also very good. They don't have the habit of Hong Kong and Taiwan actors to express their accents, but there are too few scenes and lines. Lin Xilei's performance was mediocre, just passing. What makes me a little disappointed is Comrade Zhu Xiaotian of our generation. Apart from knowing Japanese, he is simply sleepwalking in it. This man has medium-long Greek hair and blurry eyes. During the trial, he acted like a reporter taking shorthand. He used a pen to doodle heavily in a notebook, or whenever the trial was critical, He immediately showed the same dull expression with furrowed brows, which made me feel heartbroken. I wonder if the senior editor of "Ta Kung Pao" was heartbroken when he saw it. Did he feel like "I can only see wet tears, but I don't know who I hate"?

In the end, I decided to take the risk of being thrown eggs by bloggers and talk about the shortcomings of the film. I was a bit unhappy about it. There aren't many outstanding parts in the film. I didn't remember anything about the long introduction to the film that I saw earlier. I only remembered the four words "turn the tide." For this, I stared at the big screen with enthusiasm. Unfortunately, from beginning to end, except for the beginning, when Chinese judge Mei Ru'ao strived to have China's seats in the court ranked before the United Kingdom, and at the end, it was Mei Ru'ao who fought to let these eternal judges The guilty Japanese war criminals were betrayed and sentenced to death. Other than that, there were no particularly tortuous trial plots. I believe there must have been history, otherwise it would not have taken two years to finally convict. But what I saw was mostly a very smooth court process, and there was no sign of "turning the tide" at all. This left me a bit unsatisfied. In addition, as some netizens commented, "the video is a bit unsmooth", I feel the same way.
