Well filmed and great human portrayal of one of the great military commanders of the 20th century I came away feeling that events and bad luck forced Japan's hand in ww2 Forgetting the subject matter it is a beautifully filmed period piece

Good to see the Pacific War from the Japanese perspective. Excellent direction & production which, displayed a moving and sensitivity about life and politics in Japan which is often missed.

I rented this film and I really enjoyed it. It tells the story about Admiral Yamamoto and how he opposed war with the United States of America. I must recommend this film.
