Don't play that sad song again--Kamikaze again, and again, is it wartime propaganda?

Rating: 8/10 (15 September 2014)

this review is about kamikaze--i know, about "god wind" bullshit. i know they were Japanese pilots, who volunteered (?) to destroy alley's warships. i'm a Korean, and i have a very mixed feeling about this.
as a movie itself, this is quite good, clever, smart, action-movie- jammed into thought provoking results. i gave it a 8. if it wasn't for "kamikaze" nostalgia, i could give it a 9.5 or 10. i think cg was good, but could have been greater, but then considering contents it carryes it is quite sufficient. many scenes reminded me of terminator era, kind of movies--heavy machinery, and feeling of vulnerability of human being against machine (or alien).
having said that, the problem with this movie is about "kamikaze" nostalgia. recently, Japanese government became very strict, and right- wing. and from long time, there have been movements around Asia (especially, Korean and china) that Japanese government is doing not enough to cleanse all those war criminals, and also cleanse its sin against fellow-Asian countries. Japanese during WW2 was like Nazis. they invaded, manipulated, conscripted for labour, killed and raped many other Asian people. and they developed thinking that their race is superior against all other Asian races, and even whites.
formally, japan never, ever have apologized to those pan-Asia wartime victims. not one prime minister of japan apologized to those people, maybe, some lower, lower hands politicians have, but not one single Japanese prime minister.
while at the same time, Japanese so-called emperor, himself apologized to the us, belittling himself, ending the WW2.
there were many Asian females (all of them girls aged as early as mid- teens, who mostly, i believe, could have been virgins, if it matters) so-called "comfort women" around Japanese army bunker, who were conscripted against their will, who had to sell themselves against their will, and they include many Korean, Chinese, and Filipino and so on.
because when Japanese government acknowledge the fact that there have been "comfort women" conscription, then there would be big-time law suits against Japanese government, and it would cost a humongous money, there never have been any acknowledgement from Japanese government. furthermore, there are still Japanese right-wing sentiment (Japanese supremacist against all other Asian races, and even whites--i'm saying this, because i know how white people view themselves) around japan as always, this problem has never been solved. And those wartime victims (comfort women), especially around Korea and china are not surviving, due to their old ages. and because of the fact that they have been conscripted as a comfort women, these (now-ages-old grandmas) victims couldn't even have a normal life--happy family, husband, kids, and grand-kids. even worse, present Japanese prime minister "abe" is spreading a rumour (actually, not a rumour, told in a official press conference) that these women were conscripted with their consents, wtf!
i know my review is becoming very political, but what people have to know, it have to be revealed, right? because it has been concealed for a very long, long time. if it's not a news for you, but then it's okay, but when it is, then think, and consider the circumstances happening around Asia, especially around Korea, china, and japan, and recent Japanese right-wing movements (Japanese supremacists), and judge for yourselves!
so, now back to "kamikame", i heard a news that Japanese government submitted "kamikaze" pilots' letters to UNESCO to them to be considered a historical, memorial record.
"The letters are among a collection of historical documents, including diaries, wills and other personal items of the doomed pilots, being submitted to UNESCO's Memory of the World Register by the city of Minami-Kyushu, in southern Japan. It was from there that many kamikaze pilots took off on their final missions against Allied shipping taking part in the invasion of Okinawa in 1945."

i don't know if Japanese government want to canonize these people or not, but i smell something fish around this happening. japan always want to symbolize the fact that they were the victims of the war, i understand that. but true, worse victims of this war (WW2, and by Japanese right-wing, supremacist-thinking resulted in Japanese invasion around other Asian countries) were the "other" Asians themselves.
furthermore, there have been kamikaze pilot members of Koreans, and i don't think it really happened in "voluntary" circumstances. or maybe they were lured into their families' better lives. (while when conscripting so many women around Asia to be sold as a sex slaves to Japanese army, i don't think it has nothing to do with the assumption that they offered the better lives, for the vicims' families). and i think there could have been Chinese kamikaze pilots too, but i don't know about this fact.
anyway, are they victims, or enemies? is kamikaze pilots, or Japanese government victims, or monsters? i don't know about that. and this is the sentiment i got from watching this movie, especially, since as i know, this movie is based on a Japanese novel, very timely. i see a lot of reference to technological, mundane, superficial aspects of modern life, and even many crazy fps, shoot-em-all, or rpg games, and that was good. but then i kept asking myself.
who were the true victims of the war?
