The Eternal Zero, just had it all, it is masterfully executed. The visual effects during the combat scenes are pretty spectacular. It's deeply touching story and amazing acting.

It's about time we see things from the Japanese perspective when it comes to the WW2. I'm tired of all the americanfied WW2 movies. Nothing beat the Japanese film making when it comes to dramas they make, they are simply the best at it. This movie is no exceptions and will leave you the viewer with heavy emotions and a lasting impression. It is simply Japanese film making at it's best.

I can highly recommend this movie, to anyone that is interested in Japanese drama. Specific to war movies buffs that want to see how it was on the other side.

I have to disagree. I thought this film was terrible. It did little to show the extreme religious fervor that motivated the Japanese empire.

Instead the main character seems to be the antithesis of that. I was hoping this would give me a good Japanese point of view about WW2. It didn't.

This film is about as sanitized as it gets and is essentially worthless from a historical point of view

So it failed for it did not show that every Japanese was religious (or imperial, whatever) fanatic?

"extreme religious fervor"
The correct term would be fascism or extreme nationalism.

Does it have English sub-titles?
