Yamato is a great movie.
One of the best japanese films I have seen.The movie is honored by Joe Hisaishi's awesome music.I think the CGI was not bad at all.It's clear this movie is not for special effect lovers.It's made for those who remember the war-tortured history,not for the fashion kids.
One of the best memorial films ever made.
yes
shareWell, it's a good movie but I think itreally could have been much better..
It is far too much influenced by Titanic/saving private Ryan and even Pearl Harbour, hence loosing much of its japanese flavour. Also, it doesn't have the same quality of special effects as in the above mentioned movies.
Overall a disapointment.
I don't see how the film was too influenced by the films you mentioned.
A ship sinking will no doubt bear a resemblance to any other ship.
Saving Private Ryan was a boys' own adventure film in the end; not surprising with Speilburg at the helm. But I don't see how Yamato resembles this film anymore that it is also a war film and that the main characters are young men, which is pretty common in war films, and completely unavoidable.
And the similarities with Pearl Harbour are also a mystery to me. is this because of the harbour attack scenes? As with my first point, there really aren't so many ways to present an aerial attack on a harbour.
The Japanese flavour was totally present in the film. Having watched hundreds of films and TV dramas that can only be watched in Japan, I can so easily see that Yamato is 100% Japanese flavour.
