I watched the movie of “The Pacific” on borrowing. My daughter said to me,“Many people have borrowed this movie. Don't you watch this movie with me?”.
I have watched several movies about the Pacific War until now. In these movies American solders were always brave, heroic and right. Japanese solders were always cowardly, weak and devilish.
Of course I know that “Losers are always in the wrong”, or “Might is right”. “The Pacific” was made by the USA, but this movie showed that American solders were also weak, cowardly and nervous in the battlefields.
This movie was like a documentary. Now the USA has not been the superpower in the world. They were same as Japanese solders. I could understand only a misery of the Pacific War from this movie.
I have not experienced the Pacific War, but my father and my father-in-law went to the battle lines of the South- East Asia and the southern islands. They could return to Japan fortunately, and I, my wife and children now can live. I must thank for them.
