Either my favorite or second favorite movie of all time

Rating: 10/10 (8 August 1999)

I just thought I'd add my two cents, after all, commenting on this movie is half the reason I registered. I also saw this movie 10 years ago, and just recently re-discovered it, and I'd say I've watched it around 23 times now in the past week. I absolutely love this film and make everyone I know watch it. The actors are magnificent, and although I feel it sometimes lacks an emotional punch (keyword there being sometimes), the storyline is excellent. I personally love Japan and have a lot of respect for them, and this gave me a good insight to one aspect of the war. This is a great movie and everyone should see it.
