    I love Minus One, but I always feel obligated bring up how very differently (or similarly?) Takashi Yamazaki's film The Eternal Zero handles its subject matter. Based on a book written by a prominent war crime denialist, it ultimately defends the honor and history of kamikaze pilots. Think on that.

    The Eternal Zero (2013) (the “zero” in question being the name of the plane I believe), a movie that Hayao Miyazaki called “a pack of lies”

    Yeah, if I wasn't familiar with his filmography I would have bought that bullshit. Yamazaki's filmography ranges from "isn't past great" to "kamikaze pilot are so brave aren't they" and also famously adapted Japanese Right Wing Nationalist Propaganda "The Eternal Zero" into a feature film before

    If you ever run across The Eternal Zero, its worth the watch. Critically acclaimed Japanese film about a boy learning what his grandpa did in WWII www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOE3...

    I think The Eternal Zero is the really complicated one. I truly enjoy the movie, can identify with the Kyuzo Miyabe character, but I also absolutely think Japan was completely the evil side in the war and deserve to be defeated and nuked. Art is not real life.

    anyway all I'll say then is that it looks like Yamazaki took some of the VERY cutting criticisms Miyazaki had towards his movie The Eternal Zero to heart in this in a way I don't think I've seen a creator take the effort to do in my lifetime
