I've forgotten the ending--help please
I was just wondering if someone could refresh my memory of what happened in the climax of the film. I remember the "monkey meat" and Tamura shooting the cannibal, but what happened after that?

Not to the ocean, to the plain where he saw the fires' smoke raising. He hopes to find normal people, to live in normality again. He wants to surrender. And then we realise that smokes are from the guerrillas, and they shoot him down.

"Guerrillas" in 1946?
shareOh yeah - The Japanese occupation was harsh, accompanied by atrocities and with large numbers of Filipinos pressed into forced labor. From 1942 to 1944, MacArthur supplied the Filipino guerrilla resistance by submarine and airdrops, so they could harass the Japanese and keep control of the rural jungle and mountain areas, more than half of the country. While loyal to the U.S., many Filipinos hoped and believed that liberation from the Japanese would bring freedom and an independent country.

Spoiler: The war was over by 1946.
shareNot for everybody. Check out, for example, Teruo Nakamura and Hiroo Onoda, among several others.
shareThis is a stupid film. Much talking and nearly no action. Loose of your time.

Loose of your time? Do you mean waste of your time?
This movie is about the aftermath when remnants of the Japanese army are starving to death. I read several years ago about battles going on for a couple of years in the philipenes. In one instance a large group of Japanese naval men were holed up in the jungles with a supply of rice. A group of Japanese army men ran into them. When the navy men refused to share their food supplies it turned into a bloody battle between groups. Many Japanese troops were left on small islands. They were left to starve to death when the war ended. Some lasted for years.
I don't know everything. Neither does anyone else
