Painfully educational
This was a movie that if you were not interested in history would be boring and although it had some of Japan’s most respected actors it still felt like the director didn’t want to allow them to show the passion of the time. Koji Yakusho who played Yamamoto in Isoroku Yamamoto, the Commander-in-Chief of the Combined Fleet and he was a mirror of this character. I feel that Japanese directors tend to make all of their famous historical figures liberally open minded and victims of their times. In hindsight so do American directors but I don’t want to watch an American film I want a Japanese film.

Tsutomu Yamazaki portrayal of Prime Minister Suzuki suffered the same fate and here we have another respected Japanese actor who I have seen do wonderful roles. The only character that we never see much at all in many movies is Emperor Showa. Many directors prefer to show various Emperor’s as omnipotent and Masahiro Motoki in this role opened up the historical figure a little more making him more human to the watcher.

I felt a little let down by the movie and it appears that a taking of US $7,431,985.36 in the first 2 weeks shows that the younger film goers just don’t want to have lessons forced down their throat on a night out at the movies with friends.

Excellent depiction of this eventful day in history
Having seen the original Japans Longest Day, this modern colour update was welcome viewing.

The older movie was more melodramatic, with for example the junior rebels practically exploding in what we in the West would say was overacting, but perhaps this is a tradition of Japanese filmmaking. The latest film follows the same path in a less excited way. Depicting an ancient culture full of ceremony yet capable of producing army officers like Tojo, and th eon guy who suggested millions of kamikaze, it added to my sparse knowledge of the other side previously seen inToraTora Tora and The Emperor..As one who previously had an opinion of Japan only from the book The knights of Bushido by Lord Russell of Liverpool read at age 14, with depictions of horrors, it took Tora Tora Tora and these films to slightly change my opinion. Were the Americans right to drop two bombs. Absolutely! They were also right not to execute the Emperor.
