Otoko-tachi no Yamato (2005)
interesting not yet flat
I saw this English subtitles on youtube. I have read the commentating about the non propogandic value. My own family history Latvian side has some of most brutal irony a nephew served in the uniform of the nation that had his own uncle as an inmate. That young man was old and his youngest brother yet to be born in WWII competed the last USA V USSR before the wall fell in flying competition. There were some elements the need to honor the dead. My grandmothers ashes were spread at Visby.
I do have the following beefs nothing about what Japan did in China explained its all glossed over. The irony that even the Battlefield documentary series pointed out the surrendering wounded Japanese pulling the pin on hand gernades at Gaudacanal. Is not mentioned. The actions of Japan forced the bombing they scared the (exp deleted) out of.
Hard to do real action full size without plans. It did also omit the fact the crew heard radio transmissions of kamikazes making final dives.
Interesting piece on the Japanese mindset about WWII kind of schizophrenic about what it did. As Tejano I have com to terms with the darker sides of my Latino heritage as well. Latvian/Latino (I am a product of the US Army)
Pair of Aces (1990)
Guilty Pleasure
Willie the outlaw the scamp lovable outlaw....the line between fiction and fact is at best blurry. Simply put he was placed to be himself. Kris Kristofferson a man troubled by strained relationships his own biography and story lend credibility to the story. For those Hill country Outlawsnatives of this section of Texas love the romp through familiar territory, the Salt Lick a real Barbque Joint, Robert Mueller Airportnow closed. As a Texas Ranger distant struggling with his own emotions Kris Kristofferson who wrote "Bobby McGee", "Help Me Make It ThroughThe Night" is very believable. The friendship the two have comes in the movie. Like other movies Kris Kristofferson played this is not high art this a picture show. For those in love and familiar with the Texashill country this is great romp. Forget the red hots and pop corn with acoke grab a ound of brisket a Shiner Bock prop your feet up and enjoy.
