*Sigh*... All Eastwood's movie is going to accomplish is to somehow rekindle Japan's pride in its military past and lend support to its already strong sense of victimization. But that's intentional and always the plan in good old Hollywood: Give aid and comfort to our past and present enemies and tear down America as much as possible.
from what the Japanese actor said, this may be jujst the opposite???
Per:
"Watanabe. [the Japanese actor]'As we went through this film, we realised that until now we haven't really looked at Japan's past. We kind of looked away from it,' he said. 'But we have to look at it and accept the fact that this is what our fathers and grandfathers have done. Accepting the reality is the first step.'
