J L This film is amazing, I highly recommend it for sure. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/24 Full Review DanTheMan 2 Complicated and nuanced as equally as it is populist and compelling, Takashi Yamazaki's The Eternal Zero is way too cluttered to assign any form of accurate assessment and yet, this highly thought-provoking tale on redemption and legacy is highly worthy of your time. Yamazaki effortlessly weaves together an engaging, expressive, sometimes exciting yet often horrifying depiction of a disgraced kamikaze pilot's life, never glorifying the nightmarish situation and always remaining sombre. The great performances sell the otherwise muddled script while its aerial combat is staggeringly realised with Yamazaki's creative use of visual effects and kinetic camerawork. More solemn and graceful, emotional and tragic, than downright high-octane and death-crazed as depicted in some Western war films, The Eternal Zero is an enormously evocative film even though it stumbles upon its final approach with an exceptionally jarring and sappy epilogue that feels very out of place with this otherwise excellent film.

First introduce the characters back in training or before the battle to try to make you care about them a little, then throw them in there to see who survives, then a little about what the aftermath does to the survivors and the loved ones of the dead. This movie is almost completely different from all other war movies I've seen. It's about one fighter pilot who didn't believe in the war and just wanted to survive to go back to his wife and child. Sixty years later, his grandchildren, who hadn't known he existed until their grandmother's funeral, try to find out about him by interviewing the last remaining veterans who knew him. The story goes back and forth from the present to scenes from the war. It's a very powerful, moving movie. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review christopher n Does the movie glorify war? No, it doesn't. A movie told from the perspective of the well-known Japanese Kamikaze veterans, the movie is surprisingly well done in terms of details and plot development.
