The film focuses on the love entanglement between Rafe and Danny and Evelyn, but for some reason, some critical film critics think this setting is too old-fashioned. Since love is the eternal theme of human life, we should not say that it is a cliche of Hollywood blockbusters, but should admit that it is its success. Otherwise, no one will be willing to spend money and time sitting in the cinema and boring to review the history that only professionals are interested in.
Only by understanding the Pearl Harbor incident during the Second World War from different angles can we get a more comprehensive and real understanding. For example, before the sneak attack that shocked the world, Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto said anxiously to the staff: I'm afraid it will wake up the sleeping giant; In addition, it is said that American President Roosevelt, in view of the fact that the battlefield of the world war was not in the United States at that time, if he wanted the United States to participate in the war, it would be tantamount to working for other countries, which would certainly be difficult to achieve in a democratic country ruled by votes. So he adopted the strategy of "taking the lead" and deliberately squeezed Japan in the South Pacific, which caused Japan's sneak attack on the United States to arouse the indignation of the whole people, thus naturally inspiring the public opinion that the United States participated in the war. Regardless of the truth of this statement, President Roosevelt's desire to let the United States participate in the war in an all-round way was indeed easily realized because of the Pearl Harbor incident.
Anyway, I just wanted to see Pearl Harbor from a peaceful perspective, and I was disappointed. It's not an anti-war movie, because after Pearl Harbor was attacked by Japan in the movie, the United States also retaliated against Japan with death squads. When these American suicide bombers attacked Japan, Lieutenant Colonel doolittle, who took the lead, said: "The will of the volunteers is invincible. Even if the success is negligible, we just want to hit their hearts. We want the American people to believe in victory." So knowing that there was not enough fuel, Rafe and Danny and other pilots flew to Japan without hesitation.
There is nothing more profound than the people who have been there to reflect and summarize the war. I remember a Japanese writer during World War II wrote in his book: "... in any case, war is the embodiment of evil, and good is only on the winner's side." This is a terrible theory of war. It is precisely because we understand the horror and cruelty of this theory that we must try our best to prevent the outbreak of war. " Then there is the Yuan Dynasty poet Zhang's "Xing, People Suffer". Death, the people suffer. "sigh. Of course, the most admirable thing is Einstein's sentence: "At this time, I thought of the worst performance in public life, that is, the military system that disgusted me." A man can make four victories under the leadership of a military band, and this alone is enough to make me despise him. He has a brain because of misunderstanding; Bone marrow alone can meet all his needs. This evil cave of civilization should be eliminated as soon as possible. Heroism at the mercy of others, ruthless atrocities, and all the hateful nonsense in the name of patriotism make me hate it! ..... Nevertheless, I have a high opinion of human beings. In my opinion, if people's healthy emotions were not deliberately corroded by commercial interests and political interests that work through schools and newspapers, then the devil of war would have disappeared long ago. "
Even if the war is divided into justice and injustice, as politicians say, it cannot be denied that the vast majority of participants on both sides of the struggle are involuntarily ordinary people, so only a few politicians can finally have bad or good results, which is of no benefit to ordinary people in belligerent countries, at the expense of their lives. Take World War II as an example, the people who suffered in the end were China, Japan, the United States, European countries and Germany. Everyone has the nature of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, so the attitude towards war is the same. Except for a few politicians who can benefit from it, most people are reluctant to participate.
No wonder the supremacy of the right to life has not only become the slogan of pacifists, but also the inevitable trend of political modernization today.
