Deeply Moving
This film is over two hours long, but passed by in what seemed like ten minutes,
A truly amazing and deeply moving cinema experience not to be missed by anyone with just the slightest interest in events from ww2.
You feel like you are there on the island suffering every emotion and fear with the brilliant cast of actors,
How this film missed out on a Oscar to the most over rated film of all time The Departed will remain a mystery to me. -

Clint Eastwood has produced cinematic genius but it is in Japanese. You truly get to see how the Japanese managed their campaign during the second world war. Maybe they could have won if it wasn't for their culture. For example, soliders have to stay and fight even if means they will die. Instead of joining another group of soliders or they perform suicides. This is an excellent film. It still resoniates within me. The last scenes espically.
