You mean the Japanese were scared to be in the war too?

Rating: 2/10 (14 February 1999)

While the cinematography is lush, and Oscar worthy, why must one be clubbed over and over with the obvious. Endless scenes of rays of sunlight, and Kahil Gibran gibberish to make one realize war is a terrible thing in many individual ways. The excellent performances of Nick Nolte and Sean Penn are wasted in this attempt to be (dare I say it) DEEP. After such a strong build up, it was very disappointing
