This is the best ps3 game ever for $70. With Out dated graphics with out dated combat mechanics. I love it when people ask is it good. Its the best part because now i can lie with conviction. This game has better combat than ghost of tsushima. Yes many laugh but i like bad games like you. I speak for all gamers even if the majority disagree. Great video

reminded me of an early William Shatner movie, "Million Dollar Hospital", if memory serves.

I did watch this awhile ago, a bit surreal. I watched it once, that is enough.

CONFLAGRATION is another gem by Ichikawa.

I miss Noroi

The scene where the dad brings all the kids soda, while they're in the waiting room, was the moment that the film got me hooked. Up until that point, the screenplay wants you to think he's kind of an eccentric, slightly rude guy who's needlessly worried about something that will probably not happen. (The year is 2025 and we're all still kicking). As someone who's suffered from OCD and many other anxieties, the movie's premise that maybe Nakajima is right and everyone else is crazy to _not_ be living in fear, I thought it was a wonderful take on the issue. I thought the film in general did a marvelous job at portraying Nakajima as supremely sympathetic, despite his flaws. He reminded me not only of myself (anxieties), but also surprisingly of my mother, whom I'm on very bad terms with, and yet felt strangely compassionate for, for the first time in years. People tend to act crazy when they worry a lot, and the rest of us dismiss those fears, even though we are all affected by them. For like a week after, the movie was the first thing I thought about in the morning; it was just that affecting.

You might wanna check out Eleven Samurai -1967 if you haven't already. Pretty good samurai movie imo. No snow but a pretty cool end fight in the pouring rain. I found it on Internet Archive.

I totally understand what you mean when watching these movies motivates you. 2 of my great grandfather's died in ww2 one in US Army in Europe, and my other great grandfather was in the Nationalist Revolutionary Army in China. My chinese great grandmother barely survived herself. She had to retreat over a 1000 miles with my baby grandpa to Taiwan to flee the communists once the civil war heated up again after ww2. My greatgrandfather stayed behind on the mainland fighting for the NRA we don't even know how he died. My great grandma lived to a 109 though she didn't pass away until 2010. She was tough as nails.

"After the Rain" is masterpiece one of best samurai movies of all time .Joy to watch ,real comfort move

The scream scared the living shit out of me. I was not expecting it 😂

I love this movie not only because of how it shows a man holding to stoic ideals in an ever modern and absurd world but I think this is one of the only films where an Italian Gangster raps Flava Flav in his pajamas 😂

He was a one of Best Filmmakers in the World. I liked him very well!

Is this a metaphor for the sengokujidai? Is this Tokugawa propaganda that Japan needs one master in the form of Edo?

This immediately reminded me of the movie of the same year "The Human Condition", a nine-hour trilogy.

カナカナカナと日暮し 蝉丸は遠くに行った。 姉の春日江の女房にもなりません。

三面の臣民。 阿修羅が如し。人呼んで流れの瀧見たかな。カナとは手本だ。 天の八重雲泉滝。四万十川まで見せたろか。 那智の滝は天下の御免中。天下の険こそ、函谷関元就塗る。阿奈彼処阿奈彼如処

滋賀県の琵琶湖に竹生島がある。 天橋立は京の都。津島対馬よ。 江ノ島は見え方。三面の臣民は、嫌なやつら。

You'll like "Burmese Harp", I think. It grows on you with repeated viewing. The singing seemed silly but I think the point was the universality of music. In any case, enjoyed your post.

Yes, they’re special. Unlike you.

Hard to feel bad for the aggressors. And knowingly brutal ones at that.

Sanjuro makes Blondie looks like an angel.

My grandfather served in WW2. He was in Corregidor when it fell and survived the Bataan Death March. He was Japanese heritage who lived in the Philippines and became a US Army Officer (was an army doctor) prior to Japanese invasion of the Philippines. He said that the Japanese Army didn't have a dedicated medics in the push. He was identified as medical personal and sent to treat the POW camp commander who was sick from malaria. He was told if the commander dies he dies. According to ogi-san (grandpa) he gave a shit ton of meds since he was going to die anyway. The commander's fever broke and my grandfather was set free to be told if he is seen again he dies. So gi-chan (another J-word for grandpa) hooked up with a guerrilla unit and survived the war and lived life as a traveling doctor in the Philippines.

My father was in the USN from 1944 to 1953. He and another sailor were on SP duty in China in the Fall of '45. Along came a platoon of Japanese Army soldiers who were marching. They stopped, turned to face my father and his cohort, and gave a salute. He returned it, and the Japanese continued on their way.

Claude Lanzmann's documentary Shoa is a must see (but it is like 10 hrs).

I watched the trilogy. People keep saying i should the Beginning before the Final and vice versa. Which is best to make it more enjoyable

Hey sir. What kind of Blu-ray do you use?

I watched this film ten years ago....one of my favorite Japanese movies. Emersive...very powerful film.

Battle of long tan (vietnam war, don't know the year), Gallipoli ( pre mad max mel gibson so early 80's?).

I watched this movie many years, you’re right it’s might not be a good movie to watch when you’re in a depressed mood, but it might get you out.

It's depressing 😔 film 🎥 , I think 🤔 the best film 🎥 on Pacific war was 1998 film 🎥 The Thin Red Line it vividly portray the horror of jungle warfare between Americans and Japanese on Guadalcanal, there was many Hollywood stars in that film like Sean Penn, John Chavizal, Adrian Brody even John Travolta had small part as general excellent film 🎥.

land of demons is the best one in my opinion. best story of all 6 and some of my favorite action scenes

The remake of Fires on the Plain was very well done too.

Twentyfour eyes is a very famous movie about the devastating effects of the war on pre war school children that ended up going to war. Not a war movie though.

Surrendering to American or Filipino forces did not guarantee safety. The Japanese were not the only one's committing war crimes.

A WW2 Japanese army survivor of the fighting in New Guinea once said that any Japanese survivor of those battles that said he didn't do cannibalism to survive was lying.

The 1960s war movies in Japan were similar to American 1980s Vietnam War movies. Very anti war.

They won’t apologize for Nanking but they put out films depicting their own suffering in a war they started.

I saw this as a five year old with my Dad on VHS back in the 90s forgot all about until ten years ago see also the Burmese harp

Post WWII war films were in a tough situation: how do you represent what happened honestly when so many of your audience were there? Things like the production code in the US made this very difficult. It is interesting to see how the Japanese were willing to face much of that horror (although still denying to this day many of the rapes and massacres they perpetrated). In a similar vein, King Rat is a British/American POW movie that is still quite challenging. Also, Carl Foreman's "The Victors" -- both films from the early sixties.

The Finnish film Talvisota (The Winter War) is a fine example of the War is Hell genre.

2 of my great-uncles were in the JIA. One was stationed in the Philippines, mainly to grow food for the soldiers. He returned to Taiwan to a country that hated the Japanese. His katana was melted for bullets. He returned to the Philippines and started a plantation. He married a Filipina and started a life there. He only returned to Taiwan to die (old Chinese tradition). Japanese soldiers had a starting pay of about $9/ month. The Americans started at $21/ month.

Black Rain (1989), The River Fuefuki (1960), Port Arthur (1980), Under the Flag of the Rising Sun (1972) and The Emperor's Naked Army Marches On (1987) are some good Japanese 'war is hell' type films.

Directed by the great Kon Ichikawa, maybe the best classic Japanese director few have heard of, at least in the West. His other probably best known work, The Burmese Harp, would be good for an analysis like this.

The Steel Helmet is an American war is hell movie about the Korean War made in the 50s. The protagonist is a shell shocked WWII veteran who can't seem to die, and ends up in more or less the same situation as he started, just with more dead friends.

Now try the anime movie “Grave of the Fireflies”. You mentioned “Plains” being a film you “never want to watch again” in a good way. “Grave of the Fireflies” I am UNABLE to watch again. This feeling has become stronger since I have children now. I dare you to watch it. It is the ultimate antiwar film.

Yes, I too love the movie, saw it more than 40 years ago , watched it many times, But if you know the atrocities committed by the Japanese in the Philippines ,I dont have much pity for them, the crazed Philipina Girl who grabs a machine gun and go's berserk speaks volumes, ( as high as 33% of the Philippines population where murdered by Japanese forces) tell you a true story from that war, my wife's mother ( 14 at the time, was caught in a Japanese air raid, most of her village blown to bits, ( just bamboo huts) so she is running for her life and a bomb lands virtually at her feet..Does Not explode ! My point to this as mentioned in the book "Ringworld" genetic luck, I believe is real, as her Daughter, my wife of 36 years is also incredibly lucky, avoided Death six times, and always winning draws and raffles, lastly when you move on the sex themed Japanese cinema, "Crime of romance" ( aka " Guilty of Romance) is super disturbing

Esta pelicula por lo que veo muestra una cara de la crueldad de la guerra,no la e visto pero puedo afirmar por lo que dices que puede deprimirte por el echo de lo bien que se expone ese sentimiento en la misma.

Though it may not have been intended by the director to be an Anti War film, Grave of the Fireflies has is a great film, that like this one, I could only watch once.

great video bushido💯👍

Watchng this film is a form of penance. Choose peace, not war. Story of a Prostitute by Seijun Suzuki is worth considering. It hit with a lot more impact than I was expecting. The setting once again is Japanese occupied Manchuria.
