11/09/2008 Engaging on the political issues of praying at the Yasukuni Shrine, of enshrining, of the state and the individual, of nationalism. But simultaneously weak at a concentrated delivery - as well as weak pacing. See more 07/30/2008 watched in Japan. Tourne camera a l'epaule, avec un mauvais micro, ce documentaire sur le tristement trop celebre temple Yasukuni, donne l'ampleur du probleme et du travail d'information et d'education qui reste a faire. Differents points de vue sont donnes, un film qui donne envie que l'Histoire des peuples continue toujours a occuper enrichir nos esprits. l See more 07/11/2008 Depressing but informative. It's difficult to rate this documentary as a normal film, but I suppose it held my interest well enough. See more 06/13/2008 very controversial. It made me ashamed to be Japanese. shikata ga nai. that's how i felt. See more 04/04/2008 No chinese have spoken one word in the film telling you what is right and wrong, but you can feel the perception of Yasukuni of different types of people. It is a good communication mean for people who do not understand why the Shrine brought so many argues and the people who don't understand why the people worship there. Although some shots are not essentials. See more 03/22/2008 watched it during the Hong Kong International Film Festival. a documentary on the ever so controversial Yasukuni shrine in Tokyo, a shrine which housed those who died in the war, including notably some of the war criminals. The film was not taking sides, and was giving an account on events, views of those who visit the shrine in post war Japan today. the film, without asking a single question, has the audience rethink abt beliefs, values, state, war, acceptance of history. Not only Asians and Japanese should watch it, but everyone who has a chance should watch it. See more Read all reviews
