Of course they know. At the end of 1990s, many Japanese media still thought it was China's anti-Japanese propaganda, brainwashing education for the next generation, and an unfriendly act of instilling hatred.

But now they seem to be used to it and have no response.

In fact, Japan has also made many war films. Except in the 1960s and 1970s, when Japan's national self-confidence recovered, they made some films to commemorate their brilliant achievements in the Japanese-Russian and Japanese-Qing wars, which involved the Sino-Japanese War and the Pacific War, and basically missed countless individuals who died for their country in the war.

After entering the 1990s, Japan filmed war movies again, and began to discuss more about the fate of individuals in the war, facing the stupidity and bloodiness of the war. The theme is basically anti-war.

Like "The Sea Without Exports", it condemns the Japanese army for obliterating humanity and sacrificing soldiers in vain. For example, "I am a shell" reveals the Japanese army's slaughter of civilians and the abuse of prisoners of war, and also reveals the unreasonable blind obedience of the Japanese nation at a deeper level.

Man's Harmony was criticized as a film to revive militarism in China, but it also criticized the Japanese army's corporal punishment of soldiers and its suppression of the dark side of human nature many times.

In the final description of Yamato's suicidal "special attack on Kikushui", Lieutenant General Ichiro Ito angrily questioned the mission in front of the base camp representative, who said, "Does the Emperor ask the navy if there are no warships?" So, he suddenly pointed the finger at Emperor Hirohito: just for the empty slogan of loyalty to the emperor, countless lives will be sacrificed. Just afraid of the emperor booing, navy unprovoked special attack, regardless of tens of thousands of lives. It is the first time to point the finger at the Japanese emperor when reflecting on the war. In later films, the tendency to question the emperor and the emperor system became more and more common.

So it's Wu Dalang who flies kites in the war movie between China and Russia-the lens is not high. He is always struggling with how to portray the cruelty and brutality of the enemy, how to flatter the wisdom and greatness of architectural leaders, and strive for the grandeur and special effects of war scenes.
