In the middle of 1938, Kamei Fumio and his film crew got themselves attached to an infantry regiment which they followed around through China for about four months, filming their marching and their fighting and their waiting and their dying - in short, their suffering, and not theirs alone, but also that of the people around them, their designated enemies.
没有战斗的士兵,有的是喝水的士兵、喂马的士兵、赶车的士兵、躺在草垛子里一动不动的士兵,还有空空如也的城市、寂寞散落的废墟,干涸龟裂的大地、以及军队离去后依然勤勤恳恳翻土犁地的中国农民。
“小日本必死!”(
緩慢節奏和平實風格難免會讓當時的日本軍方以為這是一部表現士兵倦態和厭戰的紀錄片。至於龜井文夫後來的遭遇也只能是自身忠於現實記錄的原則所致。PS:龜井文夫曾在蘇聯學習電影。片中對空城武漢的記錄特別有力。
The director is a GENIUS. Best documentary editing.
