BONZI, BONZI

Rating: 8/10 (13 December 2003)

This movie was such an assortment of previous war films, I recognized most of them. The initial training of the Imperial troops (Glory) The charge of the Samurai's (Charge of the Light Brigade) The samurai's hiding in the bush(Waterloo), etc.
The role of the Samurai is deserving of an Academy Award nomination. The supporting case was excellent.
If only Tom Cruise could be taken seriously, poor little guy, he does his best.
The young Emperor was a dead ringer for Hirohito.
