First of all, the Japanese title of this film is "Shigurui" which literally means "Battle." In the same way, the film itself is called "Battle in the Sky" or "A Shooter in the Sky." "Shigurui" is the Japanese term for a battle. The movie takes place in the countryside of Japan, and the landscape is beautiful. In the end of the film, there is a scene that has a lot of fighting. I have seen the movie two times, and I find it very enjoyable. This movie shows the life of soldiers in the war, and the effect of war on people. It is very realistic. The main character, Kato, is a Japanese soldier who is in charge of a large group of soldiers. He has been involved in a war since he was a young man. He is a very handsome man. He is very honorable. He is the one who leads the group. At the beginning of the film, he is seen to be very violent. However, later in the film, he begins to become a good soldier, and he is also one who cares about the welfare of the others. His last words are "For the sake of the men who have to fight, I will do anything." He says that he is willing to do anything to protect his comrades. I think that the viewer will enjoy this movie. It is a good movie for anyone who enjoys war films.

I was extremely disappointed in this film. The score was a little too heavy for me, and the dialogue was rather superficial. The character of Kousuke was utterly unbelievable. I don't know who this guy was supposed to be, and the best I could think of was an arrogant, very insecure, rich young man. He didn't have any flaws. The character of Ryoji was also ridiculous. He was obsessed with the idea of an independent, intelligent woman. He was the only person who didn't fall into that trap. This character was also a complete waste of screen time. The only interesting character was Shoko, who was the only female character who had some depth. I would have liked to see more of the female characters. The story was simplistic and predictable. I just wanted the film to end. It was a really boring film. I don't know what the director was trying to say. It was a total waste of time. I don't recommend this film.

It's one of the most beautiful movies I've ever seen. I watched it several times, and it's always a pleasure to watch it again and again. I love it!

This is the first movie I have seen in a long time that I really liked. I was expecting something that was just as good as the first one, but I was pleasantly surprised. This movie is about a young girl named Hikari, who is the sole survivor of the "bomb", and she is now going to be a soldier in the Japanese army. Her older sister, Mika, is going to be a girl in the army. The story is about a friendship between Hikari and Mika. They are very close and Hikari has a strong will to protect Mika. They have very different personalities, but Hikari is very good at protecting Mika. Mika is very protective of Hikari and she doesn't want her to leave. The story is very emotional and the characters are very well developed. The characters are very likable and you can feel the pain of Hikari and Mika's feelings for each other. I would recommend this movie to anyone. It is a good movie for the whole family to watch.

I have seen the movie with my sister and mother and they really enjoyed it. I have not seen it before because I was too young, but I can say that the movie was great. It is like a dream I was having while I was watching the movie. If you want to watch a good Japanese movie, go watch this movie. I will give this movie an A. The movie was well directed and the story is great. The movie is really hard to watch, but if you just sit down and watch it, you will enjoy it. If you want to watch a movie that will make you cry, this is the movie for you.

I'm not sure what I expected, I've seen the anime and it was pretty good, but this film is way better. I don't know if it was the director or the actors, but they made the film really dark, but it's actually quite beautiful. The story is about a man who is captured by Japanese soldiers during the war. He is taken to a Japanese POW camp, where he is tortured and tortured. Eventually he is freed and escapes. He then goes back to the village where he was captured and finds out about the atrocities. He tries to stop the atrocities but he is not successful. I like the film, but I think the director needs to do something more. I don't know if it's his fault, but the film is pretty slow and I don't understand why it is rated so low. I think it should be higher. If you are a fan of the anime, I recommend you see this film. If you like the anime, I recommend you see this film. I think it's a good film. 7/10

I saw this film last night at a screening in London, and I loved it! I was very impressed by how well it was done. The movie is a little over two hours long, but it was perfectly paced. I was totally immersed in the film. The acting was superb, and the plot was not a spoiler. I was thoroughly impressed with the director, Takeshi Kitano. I thought the ending was very powerful, and I thought the music was very effective. I have never seen a film so well done, and I would recommend this film to anyone who is interested in a different kind of film. I would also like to point out that the music and the voice acting was amazing! I really enjoyed the film, and I can't wait to see it again!

I was going to give this movie a 10, but I must say that this is a masterpiece. The story is excellent, the characters are superb, and the sound track is amazing. The movie is extremely moving, and is a must-see for anyone who loves war movies. This movie is a must see for any fan of the Japanese war movies.

I can't say I was expecting much from this movie, and I was very pleased with it. The story is very interesting and the actors are very good. The cinematography is very beautiful. I really liked the atmosphere of the movie. I was very impressed by the movie. The music is very well done. I really enjoyed the story. The actors were very good. The movie is very slow at times, but it's worth it. I have watched it a few times and I'm sure I will watch it again. I am very impressed by this movie. I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone who likes a good story.

I had heard a lot of good things about this film, and I was very impressed with it. I had read the book first, and I was not disappointed. The film is well-acted and the characters are very well-drawn. The cinematography is also excellent, and the use of the war footage is very effective. The music is also very appropriate, and the plot is very well-developed. The plot is based on a manga and the story is very engaging. The first few chapters of the manga are very interesting and interesting. I was impressed with the original manga, and I was very impressed with the film adaptation. I highly recommend this film.

I watched this movie, the most important of the four, at the age of 20, and it made me think about the war and the current war in the Middle East. The movie was very graphic, and for a young audience, I think they would be disgusted by the violence, but I think that the movie's message of peace, and how important it is to be a person of peace, would make them understand that there is no right or wrong in war, and that it's very important to have a peace that is not based on fighting and killing, and that it's the right of people to protect their own. The characters in this movie are extremely well developed and were very believable. I loved this movie and think that everyone should see it, because it's a movie that will stay with you and that is a true masterpiece of film-making.

I would not go as far as to say that this movie is a masterpiece, but it is not far from it. The story is realistic and the characters are engaging. It is an extremely powerful experience. I recommend it highly to anyone who has a love for Japanese history and the Japanese people.

I was very impressed with this film. It was very moving and emotional. The main character was very convincing, and I found the music to be very appropriate. The scene where she was crying was very moving. I also found the ending very sad, and I found it very sad that she was not able to go on with her life. I would definitely recommend this film to anyone who wants to see a film that is more than just a good story. I would recommend this film to anyone who wants to see a film that is emotional and moving.

I'm not sure what the hype is about this film, but it is absolutely incredible! The story is well told and the characters are absolutely real. I would compare it to the story of "The Seventh Seal" (which is much better) but it is not as good as that film. It is definitely worth seeing if you are a fan of the series or if you are a fan of the film. I give it a 9 out of 10.

This is one of the best Japanese films I've seen in a long time. It's a masterpiece. The cinematography is outstanding and it has some of the best scenery ever shot. The characters are beautifully portrayed and the dialogue is very profound. There are no holes in this film. It's very original. It's very sad and it's very sad that the violence that is inflicted on the Japanese is only depicted in this movie. It's sad that this movie is being forgotten and I'm sure it will be forgotten soon. This is a very good movie and one of the best of the year. It's a shame that it won't be released on DVD. I'm sure that it will be the best movie of the year.

When I first heard about this film, I was a little bit skeptical. I heard that it wasn't a big budget film. That said, I decided to give it a try. And I must say that I was pleasantly surprised. I was able to sit through the film without skipping a beat. I found it to be a very deep and emotional film, and it left me with a feeling of immense empathy for the characters. It made me think about the ways in which war and war is waged on the human race, and how it has changed my own life. It also made me want to read the manga that is based on it. Now I have. I hope you do too.

I am very happy to have seen this film! I was surprised at the story, the actors and especially the scenery. It is really nice to see a movie about WW2. It is not really a film about the war itself but about the war in the beginning of the story. It is very touching. The story is based on real people's lives, so I would say it is true story. It is one of the most beautiful films I have ever seen. It makes me feel like I am there. I am not surprised that the director did not do the same as Spielberg did with "Schindler's List". It is a very well done movie. The actors are really great and the locations are very beautiful. I am very happy that I was able to see it. I think this film is very good and deserves a lot of recognition. I hope it is successful and I hope it will be the next great Japanese film.

The movie "The Tale of Genji" is a real masterpiece, in my opinion. It is a film that makes you think about what is important in life, and what you want to do with your life. It is a film that has a lot of symbolism, but the symbolism is not the main focus of the film. The main focus is the emotions and the feelings that the characters are experiencing. The emotions are represented through the characters' actions. The characters' actions are represented through their reactions to the emotions. The film is also a metaphor for war and war is represented by the characters' actions. The film has many beautiful images, and it is a great film to watch with friends. I recommend it to everyone.

This is a movie that should be seen by all and everyone who is sick of war. This movie will stay with you for days. It is a great movie about war. People have to see it. It is a movie that is real and that is good. You need to see it to feel real for your life. It is a movie that is not only for people with stomach problems, or people with a sick family, it is for everyone. This is the movie that is better than any movie I have ever seen. I would give this a 10/10. If you like war movies, go see this movie. I am so proud to be Japanese and to see this movie. It is so realistic. I am very proud of Japan and to see this movie. It is a great movie.

This movie was so moving and perfect, I felt I was in a war movie. I felt like I was in World War 2 or the Battle of Dunkirk. The people that made this movie were amazing, they had a great story. It was so heart breaking at times. I was so sad for them because they lost their loved ones, but they showed us so much more than that. I can't wait for the next movie, I can't wait to watch this one again. I'm going to see it again on the big screen when it comes out. This movie is amazing and I don't think I've ever felt more emotion watching a movie than I did after watching this one. I think everyone should see this movie, I don't think you should miss out on this one.

Truly a masterpiece. You could feel the pain of war as a child. You could feel the joy of war as a teenager. You could feel the hatred of war as an adult. I never realized how powerful the experience of war is until I watched this movie. I couldn't help but cry when I realized the pain the people went through. I cried for the women and men who died in World War II. I cried for the children who were killed. I cried for the Japanese. I cried for the Germans. I cried for all of the human beings who were involved in World War II. There are not words to express how powerful this movie is. I hope that everyone who watches it will have a good experience of war. I hope that people will think about the things that they did and the things that they didn't do in World War II. I hope that the memory of war will not be a part of the minds of people who watch this movie. The greatest thing about this movie is that it's based on true events. It's a movie that anyone should watch. It's a movie that everyone should see. It's a movie that will bring tears to your eyes.

I saw this movie at a special screening in London and I think it's a beautiful piece of cinema. It's a good way to show how war affects people, even if you don't believe in it. It's very important to understand what war is like. I think the most important thing to do is to watch it with your family. It's not just a war movie, but a human drama, too. I'm glad the Japanese people won't see this movie as a propaganda and say "we can do it better than them" and that's exactly what the Japanese people have done. They've shown the reality of war and it's a lesson that should be learned by all.

This movie is definitely one of the best movies I have ever seen. It is full of great dialogue and the story is very moving. I really think that the director did an excellent job of telling this story. There is a lot of violence and the actors are very good at playing their characters. I think that there is a lot of realism in this movie. The characters in this movie are very realistic, because they live in a world where there is war, and they are not very popular. They live in a small village with a very small population, and they live a very simple life. But one day, they are caught in a battle. And their lives change completely. I think that this movie is very good. I would highly recommend it to anyone. This movie is definitely one of the best movies I have ever seen.

I think this movie is a very important film in the history of Japan. It's not a happy movie. It is an emotional and realistic film about a war. It's a story about a man who feels responsible for his country, but is at the same time a victim of the war. I think this movie shows us that war is not the only thing we can be responsible for. We can be responsible for ourselves. I hope that every movie maker will make more movies like this one.

This film is like no other. The film is a gripping drama about the horrors of war and the lengths that war can go to and the lengths that people will go to for survival. The film is beautifully shot and beautifully shot. I really liked the fact that this film was shot on location and at night with that one scene where they were all in the water and the sun was shining on them. I like how they used the flashbacks to the people who died during the war. This film was so well done and I recommend everyone to see it. It was very powerful and I think the best film of the year. I also recommend watching the film to see the Japanese and the Japanese people themselves.

This is an amazing film and is one of the best war films ever made. The cinematography is absolutely stunning, and the actors are just wonderful. The only reason this film isn't a 10/10 is because it has its slow moments. It also has a few cheesy moments, but the film is really beautiful and all the performances are absolutely perfect. It is a must see film. 9/10

After seeing this movie I have to say that it is the best I've seen since the last Mowgli movie, "The Jungle Book". It is also the first film that I've seen that doesn't have an English title and an English voice-over. The only thing that really bugged me about this movie was that the last 10 minutes were almost unbearable. I have never seen the Japanese version, so I don't know if it is the same or if it is better. I also didn't understand the lines they were using in this movie, so I just figured they were just bad. The story was great and the ending was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in a movie. This movie is the reason I'm still a Disney fan, and I'm glad that I gave it a chance. Disney should be proud of this movie, because it has everything that Disney should have had in the first place. The Disney theme song, the animation, the amazing characters, and the story. This movie is the reason why Disney is the number one movie in Japan. It is also the reason why Japanese animation is the number one movie in the world. This movie is a must see.

I have a confession to make. When I first saw the trailer, I thought it was going to be a cheesy anime movie about a man going to war with his past life. However, after I watched it, I was in love with it! The film takes place in a war torn Japan and the viewer is thrown into the middle of it all, not knowing what will happen. This film is a perfect movie to watch in your spare time. If you are a fan of anime, you will enjoy this film very much! It's a great story about war and the relationships between people. The film is very well written, the story is believable and the characters are great! I have given this film a 10/10! It was so much better than any of the other anime movies I've seen. I loved this film! If you are a fan of anime, you will love this film!

I haven't seen a movie like this for a long time. I thought it was going to be a pretty good movie, but it wasn't. I think the director didn't know what he was doing. The movie was slow and boring. It was just the same thing over and over again. The story was really bad and the characters were really bad. It's a shame that this movie had such a high rating. It wasn't a very good movie. It was just a boring movie. I think this movie could have been better. I just wish the director would have made a better movie. I think the director should have just made a good movie instead of making a boring one.

This is a very beautiful movie. It is one of the best anime movies I have ever seen. The way the story is told is very interesting and the characters are very interesting. The movie is based on the novel of the same name by the same author. I think that this is a great movie and a must-see for anyone who is a fan of anime or movies.

I saw this movie on its release in Japan. I was surprised at how well it was done. It is a very strong story with great acting. There are two main characters, one is a young boy and the other is a young girl. The story is about the war between Japan and China. They are both different sides, and both are fighting for their nation. The young boy is fighting for the Japanese people, the young girl is fighting for the Chinese people. The story is very strong, it is very entertaining, and it is not like most movies you see. The movie is very well done, and the story is very well told. The actors in this movie are very good, and the movie is very good. I highly recommend this movie, it is a very good movie. 10/10

I have seen this movie twice now, and each time I find something new. It is not like any other war movie, and it is not a war movie in the traditional sense. This movie is a tragedy and it is also a beautiful one. I think that this movie is a bit underrated and I don't understand why. This movie is one of the most beautifully shot movies I have ever seen. The cinematography is fantastic, the score is excellent and the costumes are magnificent. The acting is very good, and the characters are very well developed. I really liked this movie and I think that it is a very good movie. This movie is not for everyone, but if you like war movies you will like this movie.

I have to admit that I haven't seen a lot of Japanese films. So I didn't know what to expect with this film. I thought it would be a typical war film, but I was wrong. This film is a masterpiece. It is one of the best war films I have ever seen. The acting is amazing, the storyline is incredible, and the atmosphere is amazing. This film is not just a war film, it is a masterpiece. I recommend it to anyone who likes to see great war films. This film is a must see. It is a masterpiece.

I can't really find anything negative to say about this movie. It is one of the most beautifully made films I have ever seen, and I have seen many. I was very impressed with the acting in this film, particularly the lead role played by Masahiro Mori. I also liked the direction of the film, and the cinematography was beautiful. The music was very effective, and added to the atmosphere of the film. I was very surprised to see that the film was made in Japan, but it didn't take away from the film. I can't believe that this film has not been seen by many people. I would recommend this film to anyone who wants to see a film that is very well done, and is worth watching. I would recommend this film to anyone who has never seen a Japanese film before, or has never seen a film before. It is a film that I will watch again and again.

My husband and I loved this movie, even though it was for young kids. We didn't want it to be a little heavy, but this movie kept us smiling and cheering. It had a lot of depth and we found it very entertaining. The fact that the movie took place in a remote village and the beauty of the landscapes and the way that they were filmed, gave the movie a very European feel. I also really liked how the movie was told from the perspective of a few people, like a village elder or a priest. There were also many scenes where we could see the animals, the forests, the fields, and the way that the trees and flowers moved. I was impressed by the way that the movie was told and the way that it was made. I thought that the acting was excellent. It was a very good movie. I would recommend it to all the family and friends.

As far as I know, this film is the only Japanese movie I have ever seen that is based on a children's book. Although I do not know if this film is accurate, I do not care. The message of the film is simply "make your own destiny." Everyone is given the opportunity to choose their own destiny. The film, although it is short, is so realistic that I feel that I would be able to make my own destiny. The story is really that simple, and the film is so powerful that you can not help but cry. There are so many children that have witnessed war, but they are still innocent. The father's death, the war, and the children's choices are what will make or break their lives. In the end, they have to make their own destiny, and they do not have a choice. It is not a simple lesson, but it is a message that is not only for the children, but also for everyone.

For me, this is one of the most unique films I have ever seen. The color palette, the music, the story, the direction, the acting, everything, is just so well thought out. It's not only a great film, but it's an amazing experience. This film's message is the most powerful I've ever seen. It's difficult to describe the movie, but it's hard to put into words how I feel after watching it. You won't be able to put it into words, but you'll know what I mean. You'll understand what this film means. I'm so thankful for the directors, writers, actors, and everyone involved in this film. I don't want to give anything away, but if you have a chance to watch this, I highly suggest it. This is a must see, and if you are able to see it, I strongly encourage you to do so. It's one of the most inspiring films I've ever seen, and I hope that everyone that sees it will be inspired by it. I want to end this review by saying that you should definitely see it, and if you haven't seen it, you should definitely watch it, and if you have seen it, I hope you see it, and take away a piece of your life. Thank you for reading.

I have seen this movie twice now, and I have to say that I like it even more the second time around. It is a masterpiece of the Japanese cinema. It is a movie that should be seen by everyone. This is the kind of movie that can make you laugh, cry, and feel sorry for the characters. It is the kind of movie that you can watch over and over again without getting bored. The characters are the best part of this movie. I have never seen a movie where you can truly connect with the characters. The only character I can connect with is the main character, Kurisu. I have to say that I really enjoy this movie. It is not for everyone, but I recommend this movie to everyone. I highly recommend this movie to everyone.

I thought the Japanese version of War and Peace was a great film. This film was on the other side of the coin. I really enjoyed it and the Japanese version was much better. The first film was a good film but the second one was more of a story about war and peace. The Japanese version was more of a story about war and peace. The only reason I didn't give it a 10 was because it was very slow. This is a film you will not forget and you will not watch it often. If you are a fan of the Japanese version you should watch it.

This is an amazing film. It's a great movie, even though it's a bit slow in parts. But the story is great and you can't help but be drawn into it. I loved it and I think everyone should see it.

This is an excellent film. It's about a young boy who is killed during World War II, and the family he left behind in Japan. The film is set in the modern day, and it's very exciting. The music is beautiful, and the cinematography is great. The acting is great. The characters are very well developed. I have never been to Japan, and I really enjoyed the film. The story is very moving. It's an excellent film that is very entertaining. The only thing I would have changed is the ending. I would have liked to see the mother and father die a little bit more. I don't want to give too much away, but I think it would have been more dramatic. I would recommend this film to anyone who enjoys a good film.

I am a huge fan of Kurosawa's work, and I was looking forward to this film as it was one of the best films I've seen this year. However, I was sorely disappointed by the film. I think this is due to the fact that this film did not adhere to the vision of the director and the writer. The ending was totally out of place and the main character was completely out of place. I did not like this movie. I think this film is one of the worst films I've ever seen, and I am disappointed in the way this film was made.

In a time when war and violence is the way of the world, I found the movie and I loved it. It's not a movie to take your friends to see, it's a movie to show to your parents and grandparents. I recommend this movie to everyone, because it is a very powerful movie, and it will make you think and feel. It has some great scenes, and I think it's a movie that everyone can understand. I think that the movie is a great piece of art. The actors are great, the story is great, the movie is great. It's a great movie, and I think it's a movie you can't miss.

This is a masterpiece of a film. It's amazing, breathtaking, and beautifully shot. It's the perfect example of a movie that has been made by the way it is, not by how it was. The story is very original and has a very interesting plot. It's not very predictable, and that's what makes it so good. It has a very great story, very interesting characters, and it's not boring at all. It's extremely touching, and very inspiring. The acting is great, the story is very original, and the score is really good. It's very impressive, and that's what makes it so good. The only thing I did not like about the film was the story. It's very original, but it's not very good. It's too emotional, and it's very slow. But if you're a fan of movies like this, I really recommend it.

I have just returned from a screening of "The Tale of Genji" at the Goya Theater in Japan. The movie was a very emotional experience. The movie was very well done and the acting was very good. I was deeply moved by the story and the performances. I was very moved by the movie and I hope to see more of this movie in the future. I am very pleased that the movie was made. It is a great movie, but it is not the only great movie in Japan. There are many other movies that have been made in Japan and that have been very well done. I would like to see more movies that have been made in Japan. I hope that there will be more movies made in Japan in the future.

I'm sorry but I can't really think of a reason why I would ever like this movie. The story is uninteresting, the characters are stupid, and the plot is just plain stupid. The characters are not very likable, and the plot is extremely stupid. It's really hard to find anything positive about this movie. If you are looking for a movie to watch, this one is not the best choice. I would have to say that it's better than "Spirited Away" but it's not even close to "Princess Mononoke". This movie is a total waste of time.

Well, I was actually expecting to be disappointed after reading some of the comments about the story. But, I was so wrong. I just have to say that it was the most interesting movie I have seen in a while. The main character is like a comic book character, the violence is done as if you were watching an action movie. I was afraid I would be disappointed by the storyline, but it was actually very good. I think the movie has the right tone, and it is well shot. You won't be bored. I like the fact that it is told from the perspective of a young girl, with lots of flashbacks and everything. If you like the movies of the young genius director Hayao Miyazaki, then this is a must see. I don't think I will be disappointed.

This is a very sad movie. In the first 10 minutes, the movie is so sad, I was thinking that I will never watch a movie ever again. I still don't understand why it is rated so highly. But it is a must-watch. This is a movie about the horrors of war, and the despair of the Japanese people, who is forced to kill other people, to survive. The movie is so realistic and sad. I think that people must watch it, just to understand the pain of the Japanese people. The movie is like a documentary about the horrors of war. There are no happy moments in the movie, there are no good-looking characters, and there are no heroes. But the movie is very important. It should be watched.

I was skeptical about watching this film, but when I saw the trailers and read the book, I decided to give it a try. I have to say that this movie was a tremendous success. It was so well done that I would recommend it to anyone. This film shows the horrors of war, and it shows the devastation that war causes to the people who are forced to live in that hell. This film is a must see for everyone. It is very realistic, and the story is very powerful. I can't say enough about this movie. It is a very powerful film, and it shows the human nature of war. It shows that war is not the only thing that destroys a person, it also destroys the people. It is a very powerful film, and it is a must see for everyone.

I just watched this movie and I'm amazed by the way the story was told and the way it was depicted. I don't want to give anything away, but I have to say this: the cinematography was breathtaking, the score was haunting, and the overall tone of the movie was perfect. I think that this movie is a must see for everyone. I'm not sure if it's as good as the first one, but it's definitely better than the second. I don't think it's a bad movie at all, it's just not my type of movie.

I saw this movie last night, and I absolutely love it. The story line is very good, and the story takes place in WW2. The battle scenes are good, and the movie has a good story. I recommend this movie to all WWII movie lovers. My rating is 10/10.

I liked this film and it is a very good film to watch. The characters are well drawn, they are all very human and well developed. The film does not shy away from showing the horrors of war and war crimes. It also does not shy away from showing the brutality of the war itself. It is a movie that I will watch over and over again, that I will not forget and that I will want to watch again and again. It is a masterpiece, it is beautiful and I recommend it to anyone who wants to see a well made film that is not afraid to show a lot of violence and blood. The film is a masterpiece, one of the best films I have ever seen and I will be recommending it to anyone who wants to see a film that is not afraid to show a lot of violence and blood. It is a very good film and a great one to watch.

One of the most beautiful and the most profound films I have seen in my entire life. It shows that war and love can not be separated. The film was incredibly violent and I would say disturbing, but it is also very touching. I will definitely recommend this film to anyone who is a fan of the manga, or anime.

I don't think I've ever had the experience of having an entire audience of Japanese movie goers actually sit still for the entire duration of a film. It's very rare to see people actually applaud at the end of a movie. The World War 2 films are some of the most dramatic and realistic films ever made. This one takes that concept and even more, adds some very disturbing elements to the story. The film doesn't come out and just says "that's a part of the war" which is always a good thing. I believe this film has some of the best war scenes I've ever seen. The sound is very, very good, the special effects are impressive, and the sound mixing is excellent. This is a movie you should see in theaters if possible. If you can't, at least wait until it's out on DVD. It will be worth it.

A must watch movie to watch after you finish watching the anime. The movie is beautiful. The plot was excellent, the acting was great, the characters were great. The movie was amazing, I was very surprised, but I was very happy to see the movie. I love the movie and I will watch it again.

I was blown away by this film. I had never heard of it before, but it really grabbed me. I was blown away by the visuals, the story, and the acting. I didn't know the plot, but it was very well done. The characters are very interesting. The way they interact is very interesting. It was very well done, and I really enjoyed it. I really enjoyed the animation, and the story, and the acting was very good. I recommend it to anyone who is into anime, or a good story, or a good film.

I don't know why this movie is rated so low. There is nothing much to this movie other than a typical "war movie". I love the special effects and the movie looks great. The only thing I didn't like was that the acting was not great. The story is pretty good and the characters are very well done. If you want to have a good time with a good movie, I recommend this.

I have seen the manga adaptation of this movie. It's a great movie, but in my opinion the original manga is the best. I know there are people who are mad that they don't like the movie, but I can't see why. It's a movie about a woman who is not very well off. It is not a movie about war or war in general. The movie deals with the trauma of war and the issues that come with it. I think that the movie is very realistic. I would love to see the movie on the big screen, because it is a good movie. I hope that you will like the movie.

Miyazaki is probably the most underrated of all the anime directors. Most people like his "manga-like" style and refuse to admit that his anime is anything other than a masterpiece. This film shows that Miyazaki is more than just a great director. It's a fascinating film about love, death, war, and death. The plot and characters are very well developed and the characters themselves are very well developed. I didn't expect much from this film but I was very pleasantly surprised. The acting is also great. The characters are very real and interesting. The characters are very likable and relatable. The story is simple yet interesting. I was constantly amazed by the details and the amount of detail. The story is so well done. The way the movie is told is beautiful and it doesn't feel like a TV movie. I can see this movie being nominated for an Oscar. The final sequence of the film is a beautiful and interesting way to conclude the story. I hope that the Oscar will be given to this film. Miyazaki is definitely deserving of it.

I would like to comment on this movie in particular, because it is a masterpiece in its own right. It is a visual masterpiece. I have seen it twice, and will see it again. I don't know why I haven't seen it in the theaters. I believe that it would have been a masterpiece in the theatres. It is a great movie, and I would like to see it again.

This movie was completely wrong in every aspect. The dialogue is horrible, the characters are dull, and the story is full of holes. It's like a bad film school project, and the director's wife must have liked it. It's not a good movie at all. It's a complete waste of time.

I've always loved the anime series, but this movie had me in tears, even though I knew it was going to be a great movie. I've never really seen the manga, but I'm really glad I read the manga. I really recommend it to anyone who loves anime.

As with the very last movie of Studio Ghibli, the first installment of the fantastic Studio Ghibli trilogy, "My Neighbors the Yamadas" is a very poignant and moving film that has been given the proper treatment by the Academy. The movie is beautifully shot and has a truly brilliant screenplay that shows the strength of the writers. The story is about two children, who are separated in a large Japanese family. They both live in the same neighborhood, which is divided in two parts by a river. One of the children lives in a small house in the river side, and the other child lives in a big house on the other side. The mother and father of both children are very jealous of their neighbors, and the film is about how their resentments grow to the point that they kill the children. One of the kids is played by Uki Kukata. His performance is very good. His face is expressive and sad, but also sad when he is angry. The other child is played by the wonderfully young Adriana Casillas. She has a very expressive face and is very expressive when she is angry. The character of the mother is played by Naoko Takeuchi, and her performance is also very good. She is very expressive and intense when she is angry, and also very expressive when she is sad. The film is a very good story about a very real situation. The last shot of the film is very strong and moving, and the message is also very strong. The message is that we have to stay away from violence and hatred and to stand together as a family. It is not a message that is new or that is new to the audience, but the message is powerful. It is a very powerful film that shows the strong relationship between children and their parents. The characters are all great. It is an excellent family film that is beautifully shot, and the performances are all great.

Saw this movie as a screening at the Cinema in Brooklyn last week. It was so good. I liked how it portrayed a bunch of people who have suffered because of WWII. It also had a good story. The acting was great. It was so beautiful to see a bunch of people who were not just scared, but also incredibly brave. The battles were well done. I especially liked the dogfights and the special effects were awesome. I will definitely be watching this movie again. The movie was a great way to deal with WWII. I recommend this movie to everyone.

The setting is in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. You can't even tell where the country is. I found the fact that it was shot entirely on location extremely interesting. The sound design is quite unique. I would have preferred the background sound to have been used more. I don't think the filmmakers could have done it better. The acting is really good. The characters have depth. The dialogue is very strong. The ending is very surprising. I give this film a 9 out of 10.

I'm a big fan of Japanese animation. I have watched a lot of them, and have some favorites. I've seen this movie several times, and every time I am pleasantly surprised. I first saw it on the plane to Japan and I was totally blown away. I couldn't believe my eyes. This movie is so perfect. It's truly a masterpiece. The story is simple, yet powerful. The characters are likable and memorable, the animation is stunning, and the plot is engrossing. This movie is perfect, and deserves to be watched. **SPOILERS** *SPOILERS** *SPOILERS**I will try not to give away the plot, as it will spoil the story for you if you don't know. The story is about a family of six, and their battle against an enemy that's more powerful than them. This is a family of six, and their battle against an enemy that's more powerful than them. The characters are great. I'm sure you know who each character is, but you'll still recognize them. The characters are great, because they are all likable and memorable. Each character has a purpose and is known by their name. I have to admit that there are a few characters that I didn't really like. The commander of the enemy army, and the girl he was with at the beginning of the movie. These characters are weak, and didn't really have any depth to them. I don't know why, but I think they were a little unnecessary. But, if you like this movie, then I'm sure you'll love the story. This movie is definitely worth a watch.

I watched this movie with my daughter who is 12 years old. She was amazed at how this movie is an allegory about the genocide in the Japanese war. She was also impressed that the children in the movie are not racist against the Japanese, but they are just looking for a safe place to live. They did not want to go to war and were not motivated by hatred. This is a wonderful movie and I highly recommend it to all my friends. I have seen this movie over and over again, and I still love it.

I saw this film last night and was completely blown away by the depth and intricacy of the story and the characters. The cinematography was outstanding and I'm going to be watching this film again and again. The story of this film is a fascinating and challenging one. I can't believe that the film was shot in such a beautiful way. I loved the art direction and the cinematography. I'm not sure why people were so critical of the acting. It was great. I'm not sure if they were having a bad day or what but they were great. I loved the whole movie and would recommend this to anyone who likes Japanese history. This film will keep you engaged and will keep you thinking about it for a long time. I would give this film a 10 out of 10. I can't wait to see it again!

I'm not sure what the point of the movie is. It's not meant to be a realistic depiction of war. It's meant to be a fantasy. The most common objection I have heard is that it's unrealistic. I think that's a valid objection. There are some things that happen in this movie that are just impossible. I can't think of any that would be a realistic depiction of war, but if you can, then it's a good movie. I think the movie was quite good, though. It was good to see a movie that portrayed a war in a realistic way. I think the movie was very good. It was a good movie, but I think it's good to see a movie that portrays war in a realistic way, because that's what war is.

The last thing I want to say is that I loved this movie. I'm a fan of Miyazaki, and this is my favorite of his films. I don't think I've ever seen a movie like this before, and I'm not even a fan of anime. I just love the way this movie shows the inner struggles of a young man who's been forced to grow up in a war-torn world. The war scenes are great, and I also liked the fact that the movie isn't all about war, and the film is about the inner struggle of the main character. The story is very interesting, and I like how the movie shows how the main character has to grow up. I also liked how the movie shows the struggle of a woman, and how she tries to keep her son alive. The movie is a very emotional movie, and I think that it's a great movie for anyone who is a fan of anime. I think that everyone should see this movie, because it's one of the best movies I've ever seen.

The movie is a good example of the way Japanese movies are made. The characters are likable, the story is good and the film is very well made. I think this is the best of the five films. I'm not a fan of the series, but I liked the movie very much. I think the story is good and the actors are good. It is a bit slow at the beginning, but after that, it gets a bit better. I don't think I will watch the other films. I think the film is better than the other films.

This movie is one of the best I have seen. The story is about a man who is looking for a way to find out his wife's death. The movie is very slow and sometimes you have to think a little bit. But it is very good. The ending is very good. It is very sad but the end is good. I recommend this movie to everyone who likes war movies and has a good sense of humor. If you have seen it, you will know what I am talking about. If you have not seen it, you will probably like it. It is a very good movie and I recommend everyone to see it.

The word I've always used to describe this movie is "brave." When I first saw this movie, I thought it was going to be a childish action-adventure film, but it was so much more. It was a real eye-opener. This movie brought the feeling of war into the world. It gave a lot of emotion to the viewers. In the end, it was the most interesting movie I've ever seen. It's like the people in the movie could see the war coming and were willing to fight for it. It made me think about the people who lived in the movie. How could they have lived in such a place and not be affected by the war. It made me think about how people can live in a war zone and not be affected by it. I think this is one of the best movies I've ever seen. This movie made me realize that war is not always something that you see on TV. It can happen to you, but it also can happen to someone else. There's no such thing as a good war, only a bad war. This movie showed that war is not only bad, but sometimes a good thing. This movie made me realize that people shouldn't be afraid of war. It's not just about the enemy. It's about the enemy's point of view. It shows the point of view of the enemy and makes you think about the people who are fighting. This movie is a must-see. If you don't see it, then you're stupid. This movie is a must-see for everyone.

From director Takashi Miike comes an excellent movie about the nature of war, the war in general, and the nature of love. The story revolves around a young boy, named Harumichi (Toshiyuki Konishi), who is sent to the front line to fight against the enemy. Upon his arrival, he is quickly captivated by the beauty of the war-torn world, and is determined to understand it. As he grows older, he becomes more and more aware of his place in the world, and begins to question his own beliefs and ideals. The movie's most powerful and heart-wrenching scene is its first-person view of the war, when Harumichi walks through the war-ravaged streets of Tokyo. It is a powerful scene, that will change the way you think about war and the world. The movie's story is centered around the two main characters, Harumichi and Keita. The two of them are very different from each other, and the conflict between them becomes more and more obvious throughout the movie. In this movie, you see the direct path that Harumichi takes, which is very different from Keita. The movie is about how people can be affected by war, and how we must accept the consequences of war. The film is filled with amazing art and music, that will send you into a deep trance. The movie is a powerful film, and one of the best Japanese films of the year.

I have been watching a lot of Japanese war movies lately and I have to say that this is the best I have seen. I have seen "Kamikakushi" and "Budo" and they were good movies but they did not capture the depth of the story in the same way. This movie did. It was a very long movie, but it was the right length. I am glad that I saw this movie because it is a very important movie to me. It will change my life and make me think about what I am doing in my life. I am so glad that I saw this movie. I hope that others will see this movie and also get it.

I'd been thinking about this movie for a while, and finally gave it a try. I'm still not quite sure what it is that draws me to this movie. Maybe it's the wonderful scenery of the Japanese countryside, the simple yet powerful story, or just the superb performance of the lead actor, Takeshi Kaneshiro. I was very impressed with his performance, and could see that he was playing this character on the level of a samurai who could have lived a lot longer than the time it takes to make a film like this. But the thing that draws me to this movie is its simple yet profound message. The movie is about the concept of 'home' and how you make it. There are many points that could be discussed on this, but the most important one is that "the home we make is more important than the home we get." The movie is about a soldier named Sou-kachi who is wounded in the war. Sou-kachi goes back to the village to find out what is going on. He is heartbroken, and he realizes that he has no more hope of a better life. So he decides to make a home for himself and the villagers in a way that is completely different from anything he has ever seen before. He gives his life for his friends and family. And at the same time, he makes the home he has in mind for himself. He will sacrifice everything to make this home a reality. The movie is about the strength of the human spirit and the importance of making the best of what you have. It also explores the philosophy of life and the true meaning of "home". The movie ends with a beautiful message about the importance of love and sacrifice. It's a truly profound message that has to be seen to be believed.

I would like to start by saying that I am a fan of the manga, but I don't really like the anime. I know that I am not the only one who feels this way, but I was very curious to see the movie adaptation of the manga. I finally got to see it. It was very interesting. The movie was very dark, but it was still a beautiful story. It was very well done. I really loved the way that the story was told. The first half was very interesting, but I could not understand the second half. I think that the second half was not as good as the first half, but it still was very good. I liked the way that the story was told, the way that the characters were portrayed, and the way that the music was used. I also like how the movie was very emotional. I think that the movie was very well done. The movie had a very good plot, but I think that it could have been better. The movie is very well done, and I am very happy that I saw it. I think that it is a very good movie, and I am very glad that I saw it. I give this movie a 10/10.

One of the best war movies I've ever seen. I love the story, the music and the visuals. A real masterpiece. I'm sure it will be a great movie for years to come. This movie should be a big hit in the theaters. It's very underrated, it should be in the top 100 movies. I have to say, I'm very disappointed in the Academy Awards. They didn't give it the best picture, best director or best actor. It was only nominated for best music. I'm sure that will be changed, because this is a great movie. There is so much to see in this movie. It's a masterpiece, one of the best war movies I've ever seen.

I had the privilege of watching this film in English. I did not want to see it in Japanese. I'm a Japanese-American who loves Japanese movies. I don't care for foreign movies. I was looking forward to seeing this movie, and I was not disappointed. I love the Japanese culture, and I love how the movie shows Japanese culture in a different way than what I have seen in other movies. The movie is very well written, and the characters are well-drawn. The plot is not completely original, but it is interesting and well-written. I loved the story of the war, and the film shows the story in a different way than I have seen in other movies. I think that this is a great film, and I recommend it to anyone who likes Japanese movies.

I'm a sucker for war movies. I love seeing the armies of the world clash and shoot their way across the screen. I also love the beautiful Japanese landscapes and the wonderful sense of history and tradition that surrounds each film. I love the way that each film is so visually and emotionally powerful. This one is no exception. It's a Japanese film with an English dub. The dubbing is a little rough and sometimes hard to understand. I understand that the actors are learning Japanese in order to read their lines. I'm not complaining about that. I love the way that the actors and actresses have been chosen and the way they have been portrayed. The characters are very interesting and their motivations and relationships are so interesting and deep. The war scenes are intense and have a very real look and feel to them. It's a very beautiful film that I recommend to anyone who is a fan of the war genre.

This is a film that I have to admit I was not very keen on when I first saw it but I'm glad I did. It's a very well made film and a lot of the details of the war are quite detailed. I also found the film quite moving and moving at the same time. It's not the kind of film that I would recommend to anyone but I think it is well worth a watch. I also thought the acting was good and the story was good. I give this film a 10/10.

I give this film an 8 out of 10.

It's interesting that this film was written and directed by a Japanese woman. It's a fascinating look into the dehumanization of war. Although it's not a documentary, it doesn't pretend to be one. It's more like a character study of people who did a very dangerous thing. I am not a great fan of war films, but this one is well done. The way it's shot is amazing. I love how they give it a very abstract look. It's very beautiful and calming. This is the film that I wish would have been made, but it never was.

I watched this movie on Netflix. I watched it a couple times, and really enjoyed it. The acting was good, the plot was good, and the film itself was good. I don't know if it was the color, but I was able to see the girl of the same age as the girl of the original and she looked more mature and more of a serious and darker version of the original. Also the music was different, which was good because it made the movie seem different, and the actors did well with the characters. I recommend this movie to everyone, because it was good, but if you don't like it, then I don't think you're the right audience. It was good, and if you are the right audience, then you'll probably like it too.

This is a beautiful film. It's a beautiful movie, but you can tell that this movie is also very special. It was made for a very special audience, the people who are reading this. For those of you who don't know who these people are, they are Japanese who lost a friend in the war. It's very sad, and very tragic. The music is very very important. It's a very very important movie for the people who have lost a loved one in the war. It's sad, but it's also very beautiful.

This is a very powerful and emotional film. The story is based on a story that happened in World War 2, but the movie has a good balance of comedy, drama and action. The ending is very strong, it's not predictable at all. I highly recommend it.

I was looking forward to this movie, and to be honest I was surprised. I love samurai movies, and I'm not much of a fan of Japanese cinema. I've seen a lot of films from Japan, but nothing like this. The movie had some of the best acting I've ever seen, and the story was interesting and captivating. The main character, Hiro, was not just a bumbling idiot, he was actually a very well developed character. The dialogue between the characters was witty and witty. The action scenes were well done. I was not disappointed in this movie, and I highly recommend it. I give it an 8 out of 10.

I've seen this movie twice and it is a must see for fans of the anime. It is a deeply emotional and powerful story that will leave you in tears. This is not a movie for the faint of heart. It's not a movie for the faint of heart, but it is a movie for the most part. The two main characters are very well developed and the conflict of the story is well made. It is a story about a Japanese girl who was separated from her family and she has to deal with the loss of her family. It is a story about how one is forced to deal with the loss of a loved one and how one deals with the loss of a loved one. The story is very powerful and it is very difficult to watch the movie without crying. The story is a part of Japanese culture and so is the theme of the movie. It is very interesting and it is one of the most important movies ever made in Japanese history. I think this movie is a must see for everyone. It is a very good movie, but if you are not a fan of the anime you will not like it. It is a movie for all ages, and I highly recommend it to everyone.

I was very surprised with this movie. I was a bit skeptical about it after seeing the trailer and some of the other trailers, but I was pleasantly surprised. I felt the movie was well thought out and was well put together. It is a very unique movie and not something that I would recommend to a friend. It was the best movie I have seen in a while and I would recommend it to anyone. I am very surprised at the high rating this movie has received. I will be watching it again soon.

This film is a great one, in my opinion. It is a great portrayal of the war in the Pacific, and how it affected the lives of Japanese people. It is a movie that should be seen by anyone who has ever lived in Japan. It is very well made, and has a great plot. I recommend this movie to anyone who has ever seen a war film or has had the misfortune of living in Japan during the war.

A new interpretation of the Noh-Makushita story is presented here. Although this is not a Miyazaki film, it is nevertheless a very touching film. I recommend it highly. I also think the ending is very touching. I'm not sure how this film compares with the previous Miyazaki films, but it is certainly better. I think this is the best film I've ever seen.
