Review of Emperor

Emperor (2012)
6/10
Touching nerves
3 December 2013
While not really something that has any relation to something happening right now or when the movie came out, this sort of history lesson is quite nicely done. Matthew Fox back in a plane (brings back memories, I know), but lands quite safely in Japan. Namaste indeed. But that's not where the movie ends, it's where it begins. With the back-story of Foxs character and what Tommy Lee Jones character tries to do, we have a lot on the line.

And while they are playing real life people (people that existed/do exist), I'm not sure where they took some liberties for dramatic purposes. I do know they tried to be as open minded and respectful to the portrayal of Japan. And I think they did succeed in that. A drama thriller that is surely more interesting to some people than to some others.
