Very positively recieved.  Made a pretty big sum (by Japanese standards).  Flags of Our Fathers came and went without much notice.

But, its not the only WWII Japanese army film to come out as of late.  There's been "Men of the Yamato" (watch people die on a big-ass battleship) and "For Those We Love" (watch people die as kamakazee pilots).  Both of which somewhat lucrative and positively reviewed.  I think Letters From Iwo Jima came out on top of those other films did, both comerically and critically, I'm just not looking it up right now.

and I'm NOT a Japafag.  I hate most anime (Satoshi Kon excepting).  I'm a world-cinema connisour.  Ask me about Hong Kong, French, Korean, or German cinema and I'll elaborate on whatever.

So there.

The fact that it was well-ireceived by the Japanese makes me want to see it even more.

Is there a true movie that shows the japs as the pigs, and unforgiving pigs that they were during WW2? Or is it all cookie cutter bullshit of "THEY DID IT BECAUSE THEY LOVE THEIR COUNTRY", no they did it because they were savage pigs that were relentless. All of them should've been killed in that bomb.
