Japanese Culture

i think the movie vividly shows that human beings go crazy when they are in the chaos like a war. they don't recognize what is just and what is evil. since the people in the chaos abandon to think what is right by themselves, thier morality or humanity go benumbed. they just do whatever they are told to do.
also, many ordinary japanese people in japan at the wartime just believed that japanese troops are trying to emancipate the asian countries from the western colonists. under the name of the emancipation, they supported the conduct of the tropps even if they killed the people against the emancipator, japanese troops.
we really should keep self-sesoring to judge if we are doing right thing.
