Serge L Japanese film mocking war once again. They are kind of good at it. If the englishes were losing wars, they would do this. A different take on the soldier coming back with no members. This one still has stubbles and a face, contrary to our canadian equivalent that came back only with a torso and his brain and could communicate only in morse. So here, our hero is in much better shape, has a wife and is refered to as war god. He is also plunged into the vulnerable position, even though he is still abusive. This pushes him to reconsider his own previous abuses as well as becoming easily abused. A funny turn of event. Very nice photography with the beautiful sepia tone. We get to see some japanese way of life and thinking. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/13/16 Full Review Audience Member Japanese film mocking war once again. They are kind of good at it.

Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Película sobre el nacionalismo japones en la guerra contra China de 1940, va sobre una mujer de campo que se ve obligada a cuidar de su esposo quien regresa de la guerra sin brazos, piernas, escucha y habla. Típico dramonón japones con toda esa carga melodramática que gustan y con ese dolor que terminó con los 250 mil cuerpos que dejaron los locos yankis en el 45 con sus bombas atómicas. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member No one watches the film and goes unscathed! Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Plot description is misleading. Story is political, but is mainly about a woman who cares for her invalid soldier husband who lost his arms & legs and cant speak. Very sad & well-acted by Shinobu Terajima. (Caution: graphic creepy sex scenes.) Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Gruesome story but it is a powerful anti war (and anti-nationalistic) film. Very hard to watch, makes your stomach turn. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
