Imperialism will not die, this sentence is familiar to everyone. Last time, Jimmy had already expressed his opinion on the issue of "Attack on Titan" Mid-Autumn Mountain, but last week's report mixed Japanese anime with some dangerous ideas, how to say, the content of this report is not groundless, and indeed some anime works contain the idea of the so-called restoration of Japan's glory and military power. And the topic started with a CG movie, this CG is the CG animation in the Treasure Island Society Self-Defense Force, New Generation Weapon PERFECTBOOK, which clearly indicates that in 2035, there will be an air battle between China and Japan on Diaoyu\Yu\ Island, in which the Chinese and Japanese air forces clashed, and finally the Chinese aircraft carrier was sunk.

Of course, this CG can be described as quite YY and unscientific.,For example, it's in this era.,It's long been over-the-horizon attack power.,There's even an air dogfight.,And shoot down each other with aerial artillery.,In addition, Japan already has an aircraft carrier (the current Japanese peace constitution,The Self-Defense Forces are not allowed to have offensive weapons),It's just a qiē to attract Japanese readers to buy books.。

Recently, a Japanese CG animated short film has attracted great attention on the Internet. From this anime work with the idea of "2035 Sino-Japanese Fishing\Fish\Island Battle" as the content, people see more about the resurgence of militaristic ideas in Japanese society and its increasingly dangerous "integration" with popular culture.

Relying on conjecture to "turn defeat into victory"

In this cartoon, which relies purely on computer design and production, the producer has equipped the Japanese aviation and maritime self-defense forces 22 years later with a series of fantasy weapons that have not yet been equipped or even studied, such as the F-3A "Shinshin" multi-role fighter, the F-3E "Shinshin" fighter-attack aircraft, the F-35CJ carrier-based fighter, and the latest aircraft carrier; At the same time, the "Chinese Navy" in the film is still equipped with existing warships in 2013. In the end, the "decisive battle" between the air and sea forces of the two sides ended with the "defeat" of the Japanese fantasy fleet by the Chinese real fleet, and the symbol was naturally enough to bring pleasure to the makers of the "sinking of the Chinese aircraft carrier".

In fact, this is not the first time that Japan has displayed its militaristic complex in the form of such a cartoon. As early as 1974, the anime of the same name, based on the manga "Space Battleship "Yamato" by manga artist Ryshi Matsumoto, was released with a high profile and set off a frenzy of Japanese ratings. The battleship Yamato was the largest battleship built in Japan during World War II and was once considered a symbol of the Japanese Navy before being sunk by the U.S. military. The anime imagines that the "Yamato", which sank to the bottom of the sea, has undergone alien technology transformation and saved the earth in the war against aliens. The message conveyed by such a plot is worth recalling.

In 1993, Japan again filmed "Battlefield Apocalypse" with the manga of the same name by Matsumoto Zero. The film consists of 3 separate stories, all of which tell the stories of German and Japanese soldiers in World War II. In some stories, the German and Japanese soldiers are patriotic, upright, courageous, and faithful to duty, conscience, and love, and are suspected of glorifying the "Axis powers" of the past.

At the turn of the century, Japan successively filmed an animated series of the same name adapted from the two works of cartoonist Kaiji Kawaguchi's "Silent Fleet" and "Dimensional Fleet": the former tells the story of Japan's secret construction of cutting-edge nuclear submarines with the help of the United States, and in turn defeated the United States and Soviet nuclear submarines many times (the original version was made before the Soviet Union collapsed), and finally used it as a bargaining chip to change the story of Japan-US relations; The latter tells the story of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force's improved Kongo-class Aegis destroyer "Mira" (i.e., the real-life "Atago") traveling back in time and space to the eve of the Battle of Midway in 1942, and Japan used today's technology and historical materials to change the outcome of history. Both of these cartoons express Japan's strong dissatisfaction with the post-war system and its intention to change the status quo by force. Japan's current Deputy Prime Minister Taro Aso is particularly fond of Dimensional Fleet.

Since the beginning of the new century, this kind of cartoon containing militaristic ideas has developed even more rapidly. In 2008, Japan filmed the animated series "Strike the Witch", which fantasized about a group of young girls piloting "flying feet" to fight against unknown creatures. Among them, the girl alludes to a number of ace pilots of World War II, including Japanese naval pilots; "Flying Feet" alludes to a series of World War II fighters, including Japanese fighters; The one who fought bravely to defend mankind was the "Fuso Imperial Navy Dispatch Fleet". No matter the details of the warships, the names of the ships, the uniforms of the personnel, etc., this fleet is exactly the same as the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy in World War II.

Similarly, last year Japan filmed the animated series "Girls and Chariots," which tells the story of a group of high school girls who race in World War II tanks. The girls' high school teams allude to a number of belligerent countries in World War II. In the end, the "Oarai Women's Gakuen Team", which alluded to Japan, won.

Failure to settle the historical consequences has been brewed

In the impression of many people, Japanese cartoons are "Clever Ikyu", "Flower Fairy", "Doraemon", "Astro Boy", ...... But in fact, Japanese cartoons have a long history of serving militarism.

From 1943 to 1944, the Japanese Navy released two cartoons in succession, "Momotaro's Sea Eagle" and "Momotaro: The Divine Soldier of the Sea". Both cartoons are based on the story of Japanese folklore Momotaro, but the depiction of Momotaro as a Japanese army general and the legendary critter as a Japanese officer and soldier. "Momotaro: The Sea Eagle" shows off the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, while "Momotaro: The Divine Soldier of the Sea" depicts the Japanese invasion of Southeast Asia.

In the first few years after World War II, Japanese cartoons were good. However, with the weakening of the United States' monitoring of Japanese public opinion and the take-off of the Japanese economy, the dregs of historical thought in Japan that have not been completely liquidated have begun to rise. The character of Doto Pixis in this year's popular Japanese cartoon "Attack on Titan" is based on the Japanese army general and Lushun massacre war criminal Yoshiko Akiyama. The original artist paid tribute to Akiyama Yoshiko, which at least illustrates his ignorance of history.

Another analysis pointed out that in addition to being entangled with history, the sense of crisis and confusion about reality is also the reason why some Japanese cartoons are becoming more and more militaristic. Many of these cartoons were filmed during a time when Japan's economy was sluggish and relations with its neighbors were deteriorating. Conversely, the importance of animation in Japanese society can also be partially felt in the militaristic atmosphere of Japanese society.

Jimmy: Japan is a democratic country with a relatively free range of speech and creativity, so I don't rule out that some manga artists have militaristic ideas, and some of the three views of the works are indeed incorrect and contain evil intentions. But we also need to guard against the idea of killing with a one-size-fits-all stick, and most of the works are healthy and peaceful. Previously, the AKB48 general final election coincided with the election of parliamentarians, and as a result, the Japanese people obviously still cared about entertainment. For us, as long as we make sure to look at it with a critical eye, there is no problem (we also watch Japanese AV). ）。 And the content of this article is also written to the point, without the flavor of the Global Times. Of course, China's domestic anti-Japanese dramas are also very tiring, and recently there have been works of nuns fighting devils. This kind of thing is not shouted out, but must be remembered, and shouting it every day cannot strengthen the country.

Zhang Weijian led a group of nuns to fight

Zhang Weijian, a nonsensical comedian, plays an anti-Japanese hero, which is already very strange in itself, and what is even more strange is that he has to lead more than 30 young female nuns to kill devils! This TV series "Female Soldier Platoon", which tells the story of the female nun's Anti-Japanese War, is being broadcast in Jiangsu Comprehensive\Yipin\Dao Boutique Theater, attracting many viewers to complain: "The festival is shattered, who will fight against Japan next time the screenwriter writes?" Monk? ”

There really is! It is understood that "Women's Soldier Platoon" was originally called "The Daughter of the Legend of Wutai Mountain's Anti-Japanese Resistance", and there is also a sister chapter "Wutai Mountain's Anti-Japanese Legend: Monk Lian", both of which are from Great Wall Film and Television, both directed by Hong Kong director Li Hantao. may be that the title of the play is too alternative, "The Daughter of the Legend of Wutai Mountain's Anti-Japanese Resistance" was renamed "Female Soldier Platoon", which sounds like a normal anti-Japanese war drama.

An audience member said that "Women's Soldier Platoon" not only has a thunderous theme, but also has a lot of bloody plots in the play. In addition to the ambiguous emotions of the lay disciples of the nunnery and the male protagonist, there is also the fact that good people live for thousands of years, and bad people always suffer. Obviously he had been shot, so he threw himself at the enemy with a mortal heart and jumped off the cliff together, but he happened to be saved by the ancestor who collected medicine, and it happened that this old man was a famous miracle doctor, not to mention saving people, but also cured his gunshot wounds......"

The drama version of "Kitchen Drama Ruffian" is thunderous again

The movie "Chef Drama**" was highly anticipated before its release, but it was complained by fans after its release, because the three Golden Horse actors Zhang Hanyu, Liu Ye, and Huang Bo acted in an "anti-Japanese thunder movie" at all. Now, the drama version of "Kitchen Drama Ruffian" is here to continue to thunder people.

"The Three Brothers in the Line of Fire", created by the original cast of "Chef Drama**", is being broadcast on Tianjin Satellite TV, and Liu Ye still plays the "magic chef" who loves to sell cuteness and has the skills to kill enemies. Huang Bo continued his usual ghost horse style, wearing a fur hat, sunglasses, and a bright fur coat, like a mix and match of alternative hipster men.

For Lei drama, they have something to say

Regarding the anti-Japanese thunder drama, the producer, director and broadcaster all have something to say. The producer of "Female Soldier Platoon" shouted injustice, saying that although the theme of the play is a nun resisting Japan, it is based on real events, and the production is also very sophisticated, not a thunder drama, but a "new red theme TV series" with emotion.

Guan Hu, director of "Three Brothers in the Line of Fire", said: "In fact, the so-called thunder drama sometimes lacks these processes, and some heroes are born and detached from reality, which will make the audience feel very unreal." Originally, there were no thunderous statements, and sometimes the producers attached them for some picture effects and plot content. In fact, it is quite unfair to put these responsibilities on the director, as a director, they all want to present the best works to the audience, and these 'thunders' are not what they think. ”

The TV station said frankly that for now, the Anti-Japanese War drama is still the strongest guarantee for ratings, and basically the more thunderous the ratings, the higher the ratings.

===Split line===

What's the point of posting this kind of article? European and American entertainment also often has content that looks down on Asians, our Chinese entertainment often shoots content that foreigners and Japanese are bad guys, whites also have content that looks down on blacks, Koreans also have content that looks down on Europeans, Americans and Japanese, and Taiwanese and Gulfians don't like content from big and mainland people, can't Japanese entertainment have this kind of content? (This is a problem not only between countries, but also between races, and many religions themselves.)

It's like if a white policeman catches a black criminal, and all blacks should join forces to run the white policeman and say that he is racist?

The entertainment industry shouldn't be limited in the first place, so creativity can be unlimited! I'm not opposed to requests for historical facts, but please don't interfere with the creativity of entertainment. If you don't like it, don't support it, this is the entertainment industry! It's like we shouldn't force vegetarians to eat meat, we shouldn't force Christians to eat pork. At the same time, the other party should not ask us to follow them.
