This time, the Japanese battleship Yamato sank again...
However, even worse than the movie "Decisive Battle of Pearl Harbor", it even used computer special effects to make the coral and seaweed on the bottom plate of the sinking "Yamato"! However, for the post-00s Hamabe Miwa, even this can not brew the inner entanglement, despair and pain of the characters of the drama club...
It's like the child asked me, "Daddy, how come the Eighth Route Army can't even eat wild vegetables?" This Valentine's Day, "BoYang CheJie" stayed at home, accompanied by his mother to watch "The Great Turn" and "The Eighth Route Army"; accompanied by children to watch "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", "New Shuk and Beta"; at night, watched "Archimedes" alone.
In "The Eighth Route Army", which is defined as a "series of major revolutionary historical themes", in addition to the plot of the children's questions to reflect the hardships and hardships of the Eighth Route Army, there is also the emotional entanglement of a female soldier in literature and art that left a deep impression on me. Before joining the army, the female soldier's family married her and Wang Tie Hammer, and this "iron hammer" was the only survivor of the Eighth Route Army's Shanxi War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. However, the female soldiers in the literary troupe were in love with a male literary soldier who blew a good mouthful. Therefore, the female warrior proposed to break the pre-contract with this "iron hammer" who died nine times, on the grounds that "the Eighth Route Army advocates marriage equality"...
Later, the male literary and artistic soldiers jumped off a cliff and died during the Japanese army's sweep of the base area, and the "iron hammer" died with the Japanese army while protecting the materials of the military factory. It is equivalent to the female warrior finally losing her husband both nominally and emotionally! But I really don't understand what the screenwriter is adding this for? And why does the orthodox drama get a "love triangle" out? Moreover, according to the concept and operation of the older generation: equality is equality, and many marriages still have to be checked organizationally! Otherwise, in "Bright Sword", how could the organization talk to a female comrade and ask her if she could take care of the second half of Li Yunlong's life? Could a combat hero be inferior to a whistleblower?
Of course, the topic is far away - "war and love, the eternal theme of mankind"! This Japanese filmed "Archimedes" is also unavoidable, in which the male protagonist Nao (棹- [Pinyin: zhào, zhuō] shaped sound. The word from wood from Zhuo, Zhuo Yisheng. "Zhuo" means "high". "Wood" and "Zhuo" are combined to mean "pole". Meaning: Boat struts. By extension: long oars. Chinese name same: 櫂) not only often wanders the geisha's feud, but also has a fascinated, mesmerized, his own schoolgirl (played by Miwa Hamababe).
Some film critics exclaimed: Can anti-war movies still be made like this? In fact, in the eyes of the "Boyang Car Circle", this operation was done by Japan in the surrender document published in 1945! China, the United States, britain, and other countries believe that Japan surrendered under the circumstances of accepting the Potsdam Proclamation; and the thing read out by the Japanese emperor at that time was called the "Edict of the End of the War" in Japan--did it mean to stop or suspend? And no intention of admitting defeat? ——In fact, to put it bluntly, it is to steal beams and change columns!
The quality of Archimedes, the level of acting, the ability of special effects, script and screenwriting are considered to be good films in recent years. However, it is not a good war film, because a good war film is about reflecting on evil and eliminating hatred, not about "protecting" (letting "Yamato" die for Japan) itself!
The film "Archimedes Wars" is based on the historical manga work "Archimedes Wars" (アルキメデスの大戦) serialized in [YOUNG MAGAZINE], and the author is Mita Norifu, who has created works such as "Todai Special Training Class" and "Boat Into the Decisive Point". Whether it is a manga or a movie, the background of the story can be traced back to 1933, when the contradictions between Japan and the United States and Europe intensified. Although after two rounds of armament negotiations, they did not brake the wheels of large-scale warships and preparations for war...
In Japan, there have also been aircraft carrier construction factions and battleship builders, and the two factions have competed for the only amount of shipbuilding funds. In this film, the aircraft carrier construction faction represented by Yamamoto Isoroku selected the future mathematical genius of Japan who claimed to have the brains of "Archimedes" to calculate the shipbuilding budget of the battleship construction faction. In the end, the audit found that the declared 89 million yen for the construction of a 263-meter-long battleship with 72,810 tons (about the size of the current "Liaoning" warship) was far from enough. However, even though it was clear that the naval leaders and the shipyard owners had conspired to deceive, "Yamato" and "Musashi" were built...
What's even more bloody is that the male protagonist wants to terminate the plan after all the difficulties, and finally even the protagonist Zhizhi himself agreed, and he also became the icing on the cake, why?
Under the pretext of the japanese navy elder and vice admiral of the Hirayama Navy, the author Mita Norifang expressed his own thoughts: The Japanese never admit defeat, and in the end they often break the net; it is better to spend some money now and create a soul totem representing the Japanese nation. Throw it out at the moment of necessity and die on behalf of the Japanese nation; or if necessary, wave it up and give Japan a blow to the head and an empowerment - maybe the Japanese nation can still survive!
You don't have to say, it's really like Conan's reasoning. Successfully putting aside the "battleship obsolescence theory", the historical facts such as "Yamato" and "Musashi" doing nothing in the war, "Musashi" being killed by planes, "Yamato" being hidden by the Navy snow to the so-called "Yamato Hotel", and finally buying a one-way ticket, going to the "Battle of Cape Fang" and whining for a life, and so on have been reasonably pieced together!
I have not seen the comic version of Archimedes, but in terms of the essence of the film's plot, the film is not anti-war, but only follows the comic version to become a historical alternate theme. The most frightening thing is that, just like in "The Eighth Route Army", when the party Central Committee leaders in the play learned of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Tang Guoqiang, who played Grandpa Mao, said prophetically: The war has entered the final stage of a protracted war, and I am afraid that the military and civilians in the border area will be very difficult in the next two years... And this work is also the very uncertain prophet!
If we have to say that this is a work with anti-war themes, then the vision and thinking logic of the various characters in the play are indeed anti-war, and I am afraid that the Yamaguchi who opposed the war of aggression against China was not as high as the pattern of this group of people... However, since the "Nagasaki Incident" before the Sino-Japanese War, the nationalist and patriotic passion of the Japanese people who wore steel plates and the ceiling on that day was also a drummer who drove the army to storm and the naval elite to fill the pit as cannon fodder? At the end, you "Archimedes" actually prepared the coffin board of the Yamato? So can you still hold down the tablets in the shrine? ......
In order to make this somewhat left-wing film, Toho deliberately used two of its most popular new-generation actors, Shosuke Sugata and Miwa Hamabata.
Among them, "Miss Mirror", Miha Hamabe: Born in Ishikawa Prefecture on August 29, 2000, Virgo, 155 cm tall, currently affiliated with Toho Art Office. In 2011, he won the New Generation Award of the 7th Toho Cinderella Competition... In 2017, he starred in the youth film "I Want to Eat Your Pancreas", with which he won the Newcomer Award at the 42nd Baozhi Film Awards.
