As you know this film has been banned in Indonesia, the film setting, that's because the film is not tell the real history between Japan and Indonesia in the past. It's a film from Japanase point of view, it's a fiction not the real history film

At last, a war movie that I would watch more than once!
zoroastera23 July 2014
A Japanese styled heroism, showing the ruthlessness truth of colonialism, and its spirit of fighting to the death, makes this movie really adorable to me. Watch this movie if you're not from Holland or other European countries with colonial backgrounds... Although this movie shows Japan too kind as an imperial state, I prefer it to Hollywood war films. It also is a suitable response to those films, insulting and devilizing many nations (such as the Japanese, Germans, Russians, Iranians, Arabs and...). At last, to the people calling this movie "propaganda", I would ask: what do you call films like "saving private Ryan" and "pearl harbor"?! After all, if you think that you like my words, I recommend you not to miss it; otherwise, better let it go. Hope you enjoy it too, as I did!
