good film...but what about war crimes?
i like it, i think it depicts the emperor as a human being isolated by superstitions (equal to religions), out of time person, but we never even hear of war crimes
is that ok?
in Der Untergang (2004) we know about them
but here...nothing
and in fact Hirohito is presented as some kind of king with divine status
he faces the war with his traditions, he even recites words of past Emperors
but i don't know...the director omits a huge theme, the killings of millions of people and we have a emperor at the end who took bad decisions...
a bleach image of Hirohito...that's my problem with the movie
but i still think it is a good movie
what do you think ?
