An absolutely masterpiece.

A sad & fantastic war time story. The best I've seem of that war time period. The ending of the movie always get's to me. How brave those people must have been. The lighting, mood, music is A+. Never guessed it was a Spielberg movie until I saw it some years back. Great cast. Jim was outstanding ! This was the first Japanese movie that showed them being somewhat human. Little violence. I've always wondered how the real Jim turned out in later life. Malkovich was never over acting...never worried about his laid back personality which gave the film a sense of everything will be all right. The scene with the P-51s flying over was truly a surprise moment. Tom
