Description
[Machine Translation] This is the second war epic from the director Toshio Masuda and screenwriter Kazuo Kasahara, the duo behind the moving masterpiece "The Two Hundred and Thirty-three Plateaus". This two-part epic was shot on location in Taiwan and Saipan at a total production cost of 1.5 billion yen. The Empire of Japan - issued on February 11, 1889, and extinguished with Japan's defeat in World War II - was unmistakably the national title of the Japanese people. This film depicts a group of young men and women who were sent to the battlefield and traced their harsh destiny, based on historical facts, mainly on the southern front from 1941 to 1945, when the Empire of Japan was in the process of dying out. This is a war epic that dares to ask what the war was like for the Japanese people in this age of peace. The cast includes Tetsuro Tanba as Hideki Tojo, Tomisaburo Wakayama as the strategist Lieutenant General Ishihara, Tomokazu Miura, Teruhiko Aoi, Teruhiko Saigo and Saburo Shinoda as tragic young soldiers living in a time of madness and cruelty. Keiko Sekine, Masako Natsume, and Akiko Kana round out the cast of actresses.
