For a long time, anti-war dramas occupied the mainstream of the small screen, turning on the TV set, either starting a new broadcast or replaying the old one.
However, due to the single perspective, many dramas eventually degenerated into a kind of self-deprecation.
What hand tears the devil, what crotch hides thunder, and the carnival of dementia makes the domestic war of resistance fall into a terrible abyss.
We can't help but ask, apart from the frontal battlefield and the underground battlefield, is there no other perspective to record this catastrophe?
What I recommend to you today is the anti-war film from a special perspective, but saying that it is the anti-war is actually more like a journey of redemption of human nature-
"Purple Sun"
The film was released in 2001 and is one of Fu Dalong's masterpieces.
Fu Dalong belongs to the kind of down-to-earth and low-key powerful actors, who have filmed many TV dramas over the years, such as Yingsi in "The Great Qin Empire".
The most amazing thing is the role of Li Tengu he played in "Tengu", in addition to a movie that is also quite infectious, from the "Purple Sun" to be introduced today.
Purple sun, meaning purple sun, when the sunset sets, due to light refraction and other reasons, the human eye to see the sun halo will appear purple red.
If the sun is compared to Japan, the purple sun also alludes to the background of the story, August 1945.
The Soviet Union marched into northeast China, and the War of Resistance Against Japan reached its final stage, but the Japanese who fled in a hurry were seizing the time to carry out the final "purge".
People who know about it and have been involved in evil deeds will be shot in a concentrated manner.
Truckload after truckload of living people were chained over, and cart after truckload of bodies was dragged away and thrown into the mass grave.
Yang was one of them, he was black and dull, a standard rural man.
Rows of guns are aimed at rows of people, only listening to the orders of the other side, and the living life disappears in an instant.
He instinctively wanted to hide, but he knew he couldn't hide at all.
Skyfall Raiders.
The Soviet tanks suddenly killed, and Yang became the only survivor, a barefoot man without shoes, who could only follow the Soviets.
Because of the language barrier, Yang had no idea what was happening in this world.
Tragically, because they did not know the road, the Soviet soldiers turned into a Japanese camp during the retreat and suffered suicidal reprisals.
After some fighting, only Yang and two Soviet soldiers were left, and when they were overwhelmed, the three of them found a Japanese schoolgirl on the road, Akihazi.
Autumn leaves are dressed in a navy uniform, pure and lovely.
But that was just her appearance, and when she saw two Soviets and a Chinese appear in front of her, there was nothing but horror and hatred in her eyes.
But for Lao Yang, killing this Japanese woman could avenge the death of Chinese, but when the knife was actually handed to Lao Yang's hand, he hesitated.
This simple peasant has been planting all his life, keeping it in peace, and is not a tyrant at all.
Yes, he hated the Japanese, but hatred did not destroy his conscience.
However, when the three men decided to choose to keep her alive, the innocent-looking girl took everyone to the minefield, and the Soviet male soldiers were killed.
Fish dead net breaking is not the best choice, they are in the endless Daxingan Ridge, want to go out alive, the remaining three people can not leave anyone.
When crossing the canoe bridge, Autumn Leaves accidentally fell into the swamp, and Lao Yang still extended a helping hand.
However, when Lao Yang handed qiu yezi the only tool, the gun handle, he was suddenly stunned, he only cared to save people but had no intention of aiming the muzzle of the gun at himself.
But Qiu Yezi did not pull the wrench, perhaps knowing that killing them also meant killing themselves, and the three of them continued to embark on the unknown path with estrangement and uneasiness.
Daxing'anling is too big, three people, three nationalities and three positions, in the face of this human catastrophe, such a combination is unbelievable, but it is also reasonable.
Lao Yang and the Soviet female soldiers pinned their hopes of going out on Qiu Yezi, who was familiar with the road, but this woman's mind was not so simple.
As a teenager, she came to the Northeast with loyalty to the Emperor and the Empire.
Brainwashed and seduced young people always have endless blood, if sacrificing herself can complete the ambitions of the empire, she is naturally at the expense of it.
But in this paradise far from hatred and hustle and bustle, the position of the three people has gradually changed.
Although Lao Yang was a man, he would not make a gun, watching the tiger approaching, and only by relying on the final "wiping the gun and losing fire" saved his own life.
Among the three people, Lao Yang was also the most entangled one, he was a farmer, did not understand war, and only had one acre and three points of land in his heart.
When the Japanese soldiers tied him and his mother to a tree, he remained bitter.
"We are the little people, we have done nothing."
But this sentence was exchanged for the other party's command to use his mother as a living target.
Old Yang watched his mother die tragically, and expressed his resentment with one sentence after another of national curses.
But he chose to escape, and when his relatives died tragically and his countrymen died tragically, he began to become numb and did not face it.
He collected the corpses for the Japanese, and it was difficult to meet those who had a breath, and Old Yang thought that he could save his life, but he did not expect that the Japanese heard Old Yang's voice and actually set fire to the living.
He hated himself for not being useful, but when he was pushed against the wall to be strafed by Japanese machine guns, he suddenly saw death as if he were dead.
The outside world is vicissitudes, and the position of the three-person team is constantly changing.
In fact, they obviously don't know each other, and they can't tell what kind of hatred makes each other have to live to the point of death?
But there is no doubt that autumn leaves are the one who is the most brainwashed-
After nine deaths, she still brought Lao Yang back to the Camp of the Japanese Army.
Dramatically, by this time the Japanese Emperor had already announced his unconditional surrender.
When he heard the news of Japan's withdrawal from the car radio again, Akibari screamed in relief.
Japan surrendered, and she had no reason to hate Lao Yang, broke free of the shackles, she was free, they could be friends.
But when she cheerfully reported the news to the Japanese who were committing suicide by caesarean section, the other party raised her gun and aimed it at Akihazi.
Bang- Autumn Leaf is the one who wants to wake up the most, but she forgets that she can never wake up someone who pretends to be asleep.
And Lao Yang was finally ignited by anger, and all kinds of memories rushed into his heart, and he could no longer suppress it and raised his gun.
But he must not have imagined in his heart that this anger was due to the death of a Japanese girl.
"Purple Sun" does not have a particularly shocking audiovisual effect, and because of the three countries and three languages, they do not communicate much with each other, all rely on the expression to transmit.
In the face of the plot of fighting and killing, the film goes around behind the hatred to explore the root cause of all this.
Restrained and calm.
A purple sun rises, representing the end of the war. But the thinking it brings is so profound.
Kindness has nothing to do with race, nothing about nationality, love is more powerful than hatred; no matter how thick the haze of war, peace can always break through the shadow of war, because peace is more lasting than war.
