Plot summary

Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto (1884-1943) was the Japanese Naval commander who was given the order to attack Pearl Harbour, an order he was duty bound to obey which went against his own personal beliefs. While this infamous attack is a low point in Japanese and US history it wouldn’t have happened if the Japanese government had listened to Yamamoto in 1939 and searched for a more peaceful way to end their war campaign, proving his many ominous presages of the outcomes of the attack to come true.

This is not a typical war movie with

This is not a typical war movie with much fighting. The movie presents the last few years of Yamamoto, a highly intelligent and complex man, played with great sensitivity by Koji Yakusho. You will learn much about Yamamoto and his cruel fate of having to launch the attack on Pearl Harbor and initiating the war he tried so hard to avoid. You will also learn much about Japan and the social and political currents and cross-currents during the lead up to and early days of the WW2 Pacific theater. The music wonderfully evokes the appropriate moods during the movie. If you want a movie that gives you much to think about, see this one.

If everyone in Japan was as noble, benign

If everyone in Japan was as noble, benign and benevolent as the characters in this movie the Pacific War never would have happened. I know many Japanese suffered greatly during the war years and I'm not trying to deny the humanity of the Japanese people, but this is a whitewashing of history.
