Thanks for the memories!
Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Outstanding. Epic. Straight to the upper echelons of my all time greatest war movies list. I had never heard of it until I recently read a list of films with the best flying sequences and the air battle scenes are riveting. Caveat: if you don't like CGI, you won't like this. It's 2013 CGI, not flawless, but the sequences are so ambitious and well planned that if it had been put together by the people who did "Dunkirk" it would be one of the greatest war movies made. (It's on my list, but that's my list.) And that includes the predominant very well written, emotionally satisfying drama plot that atones for any nit-picky production flaws. "The Eternal Zero has come under criticism for its nationalistic and sympathetic depiction of the Kamikaze pilots." Oh, STFU. There is nothing 'glorious' about it and if you can watch something like this without sympathy... No matter why or who you fight, the fighters are proud of their victories and devastated by their defeats. I've certainly never seen a better 'Japanese side of things' film.
I have no movies which I shed tears so much with an impression ever. This movie is one of my best movies. I was overwhelmed the large-scale. In the movie, I felt like riding the Zero.The story begins that Kentaro and her sister know the fast they have another grandfather with a blood relationship, Kyuzo Miyabe, who died in the WW2. They visit veterans of Miyabe to know who he was. A screen flash back from the present day to those days during WW2. Miyabe has a tenacious clinging to life. He is considered as a coward because everyone at that time thinks it is an honor that they die for their country. Miyabe always has consideration for his wife, daughter, comrade and following. I think he acts like that at the last scene because of the consideration.This movie must be watched forever, especially for young age. We have to remember the tragedy of the war. Even during the war, I see there is a beautiful love.
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.
Eien no Zero was a big thing in Japan, basically everywhere you went you saw a trailer or a commercial for it, people at movie theatres cried during the movie. From a gaijins point of view, it was a interesting war movie, that showed so-called Japanese spirit, that went way overboard during the war.Before the movie I read the book so I knew what to expect and the movie was way better than I could have expected. Everything felt authentic, moments in modern days didin't feel too long or jarring. People next to me were crying during the movie and I can see why. People who are nowadays called "terrorists" or "cowardly suicide bombers" were people fighting for their country, for their ancestors and their future. most of them knew that they would die during the battles, but they had to continue or they would be traitors.I really recommend this movie, If you are interested in Asian drama or war movies, this movie is for you.
