Analysis of the movie

1. Emphasizing constrast events

-> The director wanted to show us happy scenes before dropping A-bomb to maximize sadness.
     Characters also hope there is another tomorrow for them. But actually it isn't.
     There are three happy scenes in the movie: childbirth, love and get married.


Childbirth

    Love

     Marriage

        
      and.......
   

   


 2. Symbolic scenes

Here, a fly is flying around the light and the fly soon died. It means nihilism indirectly by showing the fly.
Even though people try hard to live daily life, they all disapper in the air.

The moon is quite bright and it looks like to explode soon. We thought two interpretation. One is the director wanted to foreshadow that there will be an A-bomb soon. The other explanation is the director gave life to the moon and it expressed the sadness of tomorrow A-bomb dropping.

Two soldiers wanted food, but the owner of the store refused to give food to them. From this scene, the director shows we are not only the victim of the war, but also assailant to the other countries expecially Korea. So he pursued balanced idea in the movie.

American soldier needs food, but the owner of the shop refused to give food to the American soldier

cause America is the one who dropped bomb to Japan.
