For all those that saw and liked Eastwood's film, may I suggest that you rent "Bridge on the River Kwai" 1957. It was made by people who were there and who were of that generation. There is no "mellowing with time" in that account of the Japanese during WWII. How I wish our leaders and allies would sit down and watch it.

Just as an aside, Clint is off his rocker. I think that his lefty wife influences his work, much the same way that Sandra Locke did during the 70's. He did better work with the baboon, IMHO.

The depiction of the Japanese is much less flattering in the Eastwood film than it is in Kwai.
