It's definitely one of the quality war films made. I liked how the film had that small subtle connection/twist of the old man with the security cameras in his home/samurai sword you'd only get it if you were paying attention. I was surprised he could act so well, as he was amazing in the film. The film stars Juichi Okada, a famous former Japenese boy band group member called V6, who plays the main pilot. During his time in aerial combat over China and the Pacific Islands, Handa was noted for destroying 13 enemy bombers. Some people argue they were just crazy brainwashed terrorists, but not everything is just simply black and white. Handa was both an officer and an ace fighter pilot in the Imperial Japanese Navy, playing roles in the Second Sino-Japanese War, as well as in the Pacific theater of WWII. I really liked how it brought up the controversy/showed and compared how people/kids of modern Japan also judged the way they saw the kamikaze pilots who fought for them. It really hits hard on the impact and value of life - how precious it really is. There's many war films out there, but this one is actually refreshing and meaningful. The director Takashi Yamazaki also makes really large scale Hollywood-like production quality. I'm not sure how I missed this film when it first came out, but I recently watched it and I was engaged throughout the whole film. People can have different perspective whether one is a coward or a real hero. (well, better than those two films!) If you had to choose love between your own family and country/men many had to face the same dilemma. Flying the excellent Zero, Japanese fighter pilots were able to sweep opposing aircraft out of the skies of the southwest Pacific in the early months of the war. It's as good as "Letters from Iwo Jima" Was the lives worth it for the future of Japan? It's kind of like "The Notebook" meets "Pearl Harbor".

Harry Melton, commander of the 311th Fighter Group who had been shot down, passed through the POW camp and told Baggett that a Japanese colonel said the pilot Owen Baggett had fired at had been thrown clear of his plane when it crashed and burned. None of the Japanese pilots involved in the attack on Pearl Harbor had logged less than 600 hours of flying time, and many flight leaders had over 1500 hours’ experience. I would put this in one of my top favorite films.
