Japanese - Subtitled
The story of the downfall of Emperor Hirohito and the Japanese nation at the end of WWII and the ensuing aftermath.
The first notable flaw with this film is the camera pixel rate (Or what I assume is) seems to lack depth and detail. It doesn't particularly bother me, but I know it would to many. The Acting seems pretty shambolic all throughout, and doesn't help create an atmosphere the film intends (This is the downfall of an empire we're talking about here...). The film fails miserably in addressing the emotions behind the Emperor, and that of the nation as well as the sheer tension and awkwardness created after the surrender.
The film also just feels like one massive monologue, rather than a descriptive re-telling of the end of the second world war. At this, the film moves at too slow a pace which again negates itself the atmosphere it desires. I don't really have much else to say about this, but its one film I shan't watch again.
Final Rating: 1.5/5
