Yesterday, I inadvertently brushed a short video: On September 18, on the central street of Harbin, a veteran-like grandfather held a billboard, reminding us: National Disaster Day - Remember!
Growing up in the era of peace, we really can't deeply feel the suffering of the war experienced by our ancestors, and the real history has gradually faded into oblivion.
National sentiment is the most attractive, it not only allows us to understand the history, but also allows us to cherish the present.
In recent years, there have been many excellent directors in China to make some real history into movies, like the highly acclaimed "Eight Hundred" some time ago is a real history, of course, there is an unreleased, but the much-anticipated "Chosin Lake" is also a movie made of real history.
What The Flathead brother wants to talk about is the movie that every Chinese should watch!" - "Tokyo Trial"
This is a movie released in 2006: in 1946, the International Military Tribunal for the Far East tried Japanese war criminals in Tokyo, which was composed of 11 judges from 11 countries, appointed by the Chinese Nationalist government, headed by Mei Ruxuan. At the opening of the trial, the Chinese delegation suffered all kinds of difficulties and setbacks, and in the face of the prejudices and difficulties of the judges of various countries, the Chinese judges and prosecutors overcame all kinds of unfavorable factors that they did not understand the US law, came up with one ironclad fact after another, and finally sent the heads of the 7 war criminals led by Hideki Tojo to the gallows.
Director Gao Qunshu borrowed money from everywhere that year, raised 30 million yuan, and gathered: Liu Songren, Zeng Zhiwei, Zeng Jiang, Yingda, Zhu Xiaotian, Lin Xilei, Xie Junhao, and other actors from both sides of the strait and three places to create this patriotic history education textbook film.
The film "Tokyo Trial" was selected to be released when the 60th anniversary of the Tokyo Trials was commemorated, and the film restored the truth of history in a realistic way, and the director said, "The International Military Tribunal for the Far East is completely copied as it is, and the lines of the court scene in the film are 80% completely real." The most precious thing is that "Mei Ruzhang's Diary" is used as a voiceover throughout the film, and all the narration in the film is from Mr. Mei Ruxuan's diary.
The Chinese judge in "Tokyo Trial" once said this: If I can't execute war criminals, then I will die to thank the Chinese people!
The film brings the final trial process to life, and some Japanese war criminals in the defendant's seat were still stubborn, believing that the invasion of that year was "the younger brother who taught the disobedient brother a lesson."
A reporter asked Hideki Tojo, who was hysterical and refused to admit guilt: "If you had another chance like that, would you start a war again?" However, Hideki Tojo still replied without hesitation, "Definitely."
This was the real dialogue that took place in the International Trials of the Far East!
In the face of Hideki Tojo's "inhuman" answer, Mei Ruxuan said this sentence: "If I can't execute war criminals, then I will die to thank the people!" ”
Although 75 years have passed since that real historical trial, brother Pingtou is still full of blood and tears when he hears such a sentence.
National sentiments aside, is this "Tokyo Trial" really wonderful?
The flat-headed brother's answer is "average"!
1. The subject matter of the film is far greater than the content, and the most brilliant court debates should have been "tit-for-tat and strong-hitting", but the film often pays too much attention to "our feelings", most of the time is watching our lawyers "perform", lacking some of the intensity it deserves.
2. It is a little strange that the "emotional scene" that should not appear is actually very heavy in the movie. Originally, this type of film is difficult to make, can completely restore the history, and tell this story well, and it is necessary to add an emotional line that feels like it will make the audience jump.
Gossip about this "emotional line": Zhu Xiaotian and Lin Xilei came together because of this movie, but unfortunately they finally broke up.
3. Due to financial problems, the production is relatively rough, the location was not filmed in Tokyo, and some Japanese soldiers repented and the attitude of ordinary Japanese families to the trial of the century, these pictures seem too hasty, and the black subtitles at the end, although solemn, lack the shock of the documentary.
"Tokyo Trial" ranks 20th in Douban films, not as good as "October Siege" and "Ip Man", in terms of theme, "Tokyo Trial" should be able to rank in the top three, but why is its rating so low? Many people think that it is the director's problem, after all, this kind of theme film is not something that anyone can control, but it cannot directly negate the efforts of director Gao Qunshu.
It is not a single "show off feelings" movie, because the film still carefully restores the history that the Chinese people must not forget!
