John Kettler Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 If you haven't seen these (in Japanese, with English subtitles), you're missing out! "For Those We Love 1945" is a behind the scenes look at the lives and loves of young IJA pilots tasked to fly their Hayabusa fighters as kamikaze. The second, "Yamato," practically redefines the genre, covering a span of some 60 years, asking deep questions about all sorts of things, while unflinchingly looking at the real IJN and how it operated. Sets are incredible, but aircraft flight paths are hokey. Also, suffers from the History Channel syndrome in attack on Pearl Harbor (SBDs). There are several scenes which I'm sure left the Japanese viewers choked. Definitely made my brother, not the most emotionally demonstrative person, cry. Has actual footage of the wreck, too.

Michael Emrys Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 I think there are some clips from Yamato up on YouTube, but I am too lazy to go search for them. Some are of a guy directing AA using a baton. Strangely primitive-looking in an era of radar. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
