Yasukuni: Reviewing History
Adjust font size:

"The Sundance Film Festival is the most influential and authoritative independent film festival in the world. I'm happy to see that American audience can think deeply about what the war legacy is, and why Yasukuni is still a complex issue in Asia," Li told Beijing Review. "The topic is not merely about Asia but about the whole world. People are more concerned about what peace is and how to look at the history.

"I'm confident that it will receive a warm welcome from audiences in Europe as well, for the Berlin Film Festival always pays great attention to the influence that history brings to reality and the future."

This year's festival, according to the organizers, will screen a retrospective consisting of eight films that recall the impact of the Vietnam conflict on U.S. cinema.

"The president of the festival, who watched the premiere in Busan, believes that Yasukuni is a powerful film in terms of rethinking the war. To this extent, our film coincidentally echoes this program. Japan seems to fall far behind Germany on reviewing its war responsibility. I'm sure that the Europeans, especially the German audience, will be stimulated by the Yasukuni issue to rethink history. It is hard to judge anyone, so I just wanted to show how many sides there are to stories and to people," he stated.

The film is scheduled to open in Japan on April 12, but the China dates have yet to be decided.

"It's normal to hear all kinds of comments, positive or negative, after the media preview in Japan," he said. "I don't mean to teach Japanese how to review history, but am hoping that people who see it will also look at themselves.

"Since the worship of the Yasukuni Shrine is one of the toughest barriers to smooth bilateral or multilateral relations between Japan and its neighbors, the film will probably play an important role in connecting Japan, China and South Korea on the issue. I hope the launches in China and South Korea are held simultaneously with Japan. It will be interesting to see different responses in different countries to the same film, right?"
