U.S. Release?
I wonder if they'll release it in the states?
shareYou, me, and every WWII enthusiast/historian in the country want this to happen!
The website is here: http://www.yamato-movie.jp/top/index.html.
The email link is here: [email protected] Write the studio and ask for a stateside release. If enough of us do, who knows? Remember -this was JUST released in Japan on the 17th - it'll be a few months/up to a year before we can hope to see it in the US.
Let's hope. The trailer is awesome, and the story (if you've read the books on which the film is based) is an excellent read.
Cheers!

I went and watched this movie lastnight (in Japan of course). It was very very good, and very emotional--even though I could only understand about half of what was said. The focus of the movie, however, is not so much on the battleship Yamato as it is her crew. The story is told ala Titanic through the storytelling of an old man who was a survivor from the Yamato and most of the story happens in Japan and not on the ship. Although, the two major action sequences that do occur on the Yamato are phenomenal. Also, Nakamura Shishidou, who plays one of the main characters, Uchida, (was also Dragon in Ping-Pong) is great and is becoming one of my favorite Japanese actors.
shareThe title of the book is also "Otoko-tachi no Yamato".
The author is a female novelist Jun Henmi.
But I don't think an English version is available now.
Hi
