The theater where "1937" was screened can accommodate a total of 300 audiences, in addition to the jury members such as De Niro and Jude Law, there are also many actors and directors who come to visit.

Hollywood movie stars such as Julie, Pitt, Dunst.

and Juliet, the queen of the last Cannes show. Binoche, and Naomi Kawase, the director of "The Moon of Vermilion Flowers".

Juliet and Naomi Kawase are both middle-aged women in their forties, and the two will attend almost every Cannes Film Festival since the turn of the millennium.

They have long been good friends.

At this time, Juliet and Naomi Kawase sat next to each other and watched "1937" together.

For this movie, Juliet and Naomi Kawase both came for the gimmick of one shot to the end, and they wanted to see if there was a movie that could be seen in one shot.

However, the mentality of two people watching movies is not the same.

Juliet had no other ideas, just pure curiosity.

And Naomi Kawase has some other emotions, in addition to her curiosity, there is also apprehension, uneasiness, and nervousness.

She didn't plan to watch "1937", although there is no major contradiction between her and the island country of Huaxia, the historical problems between the two countries have not yet been resolved.

She used to be embarrassed to watch "The Devil is Coming" in Cannes.

"The Devil is Coming" later won the Grand Jury Prize, and Naomi Kawase remembered that many people asked her at that time whether the soldiers of the island country were really as ridiculous and stupid as described in the movie, whether the island country really invaded China, and whether the problem between the two countries had not been resolved.

These questions embarrassed Naomi Kawase a little.

It can be said that many directors in the island country are anti-war and oppose war.

It's like Akira Kurosawa, Yasujiro Ozu, Keisuke Kinoshita, Kibachi Okaki and other film masters have all made anti-war movies.

However, opposing the war does not mean admitting mistakes, still less apologizing to other Asian victims.

It's like the masters of cinema like Akira Kurosawa, who were against the war, more because they went through that bad period, and they didn't like that kind of atmosphere.

But Kurosawa never said that the island nation was responsible for the war of aggression and apologized.

It would be far-fetched to say that he sympathized with Huaxia and the peninsula.

The only film master who has publicly spoken out in the island nation that the war of aggression is wrong and has brought harm to Asian countries, and that the island country should reflect on is Hayao Miyazaki.

Only this one said such a thing in front of a journalist.

Naomi Kawase is well aware of the public opinion of the island nation, but in fact, the vast majority of the people do not think that the war of aggression is wrong.

That is, Miyazaki is kind enough that people in other showbiz do not dare to speak out directly, believing that the war is wrong and that other Asian countries need to apologize.

If she came to watch this movie, she would inevitably be interviewed by reporters, and then she would be embarrassed again.

"The Devil is Coming" won the Grand Jury Prize that year, and it still has a great impact in Cannes.

Now "1937" has a gimmick to the end, in case "1937" wins the same award.

Then about that period of history, I will take it out again.

So Naomi Kawase didn't want to come to watch, but Juliet invited her, and as Cannes' daughter, she always had the same idea as Masaharu at the Cannes Film Festival, so she came.

She planned to leave immediately after watching the movie and not be interviewed.

Come silently, go silently.

The movie started very quickly, and the shooting of long shots was indeed very comfortable, as if I was entering the frame of the movie, standing in front of the protagonist, watching him go through all kinds of things.

Juliet quickly became immersed in it, watching it with relish, she had forgotten the editing point, forgot to take one shot to the end.

Completely brought in the male protagonist and the male number two, worried about their mission.

Naomi Kawase was just starting out in a similar situation to Juliet, and the movie went on for twenty minutes, and one of the audience members in front of her coughed before she came back to her senses.

She forgot about the one shot to the end, forgot the editing point, and thought about the island country fungus in the movie.

To be honest, those characters are a bit annoying.

She frowned slightly, and then comforted herself, the movie has a certain amount of artistic processing, the Battle of Songhu is not the Jinling Massacre, and the truth is not so bad.

After a period of self-hypnosis, Naomi Kawase continues to watch a movie.

The long shots are really comfortable, the realism is very high, and it's easy to bring in.

Naomi Kawase soon brought in the male lead and the second male lead, and she couldn't help but feel angry and disgusted with the island fungus in the movie.

It's really bad, in other countries, wantonly burning, killing and looting.

"What's wrong with me?"

Naomi Kawase woke up from a dream, she was a little ashamed, she just hated the island country fungus people.

Is she a rapist?

She thought about it, then left the theater and went to the service desk to buy a cup of coffee.

She sipped coffee while reminiscing about movie clips from "1937."

The movie shots of "1937" mainly focus on the male protagonist and the second male lead, and there is no special lens to close-up the island country.

The film does not exaggerate the cruelty of the enemy, and there are not even many bloody images.

But under the super substitution of the long shot, she couldn't help but think about it from the position of the actor just now, and naturally gave birth to a disgust for the enemy.

She was a little scared that the strength shown in this movie would not be worse than "The Devil is Coming", in case this movie won the Grand Jury Prize like "The Devil is Coming".

Then the European press will report on that war of aggression again.

Especially the technetium media, they feel that they have been forgiven by France, Big Bobo.

And the island nations did not do it, they have a sense of superiority.

"Should I go back home early?"

Naomi Kawase thought about it, but returned to the theater and sat down to watch a movie quietly.

Anyway, let's go after watching this movie.

But then be calmer, don't immerse yourself in it at every turn, so as not to make people see the abnormality.

Naomi Kawase made a request to herself, and she hoped to watch the movie calmly.

At this time, the movie is two-thirds of the way through, and Male Two and Male One meet the Island Germ Man, which is a sudden encounter, they defeat the enemy, but the male number two dies.

Male number one is hopeless, sad, ashamed, and sad.

At this time, he met a female worker played by Sun Li, with a little girl.

Two women, one big and one small, are strong and alive in the battlefield.

Male No. 1 has completed the spiritual sublimation, he knows that the road ahead is difficult, life and death are unpredictable, but he is not desperate, not confused, and strides towards the destination.

In the end he finally succeeded, and in a field, under a large tree, he saw friendly troops.

Male No. 1 didn't shed tears.

Many viewers cried, and after twists and turns, they finally completed the task.

Naomi Kawase was just as uncomfortable.

Juliet said at this time: "Did the island country really invade China? ”

"Uh......"

Naomi Kawase was stunned, she wanted to lie, but seeing her friend's sincere gaze and the different mood brought to her by "1937", she still said: "Yes, the island country invaded China." ”

Soon after, Naomi Kawase and Juliet left the theater together, and sure enough, a reporter stood outside and asked them what they thought of "1937".

Naomi Kawase thought for a moment, then opened her mouth and said: "The movie is very exciting, reflecting that real history, as an island country, I'm sorry." ”

"I think we should reflect on that history, seriously consider the harm that the war caused to other countries, and then take responsibility for our own actions."
