It was a nice Japanese propaganda movie
The perspective of this movie can change by different people. For a Japan it is a story of hero, but for an American it is a propaganda movie. I think it is a nice Japan propaganda movie. This movie is showing us even today's Japan Kamikaze pilots and soldiers which fight in WW2 are excluded, because for some young Japans Kamikaze pilots are ultra-nationalist psychopaths and there is no difference between suicide bombers and Kamikaze pilots. But this movie is arguing every Kamikaze pilot is not ultra-nationalist psychopaths, there are some dramatic stories of Kamikaze pilots. Miyabe sacrificed himself, because he became very sad on death of young Kamikaze pilots and he wanted to cover a young soldier, in this way he died as a hero, but no one knows it. So it is a nice movie for showed us this story, because there are some real untold stories like in this movie. Also I liked structure of movie that deeply examine of characters and present different kind of perspective. So I think this movie is a successful movie. But I have some unanswered questions and I found some deficiencies about movie. For example, why soldiers called Miyabe as coward? I think scriptwriter wanted to show he decided to die, because death is an escape hatch, and he could not face with sadness of war and he decided to suicide, so they could called him as a coward. Also Why Miyabe saddened too much about death of kamikaze pilots? I think he knows kamikaze pilots be kamikaze pilots for death. Also movie stayed on only character level, I think it should have more entered into war and also should have showed real face of Imperial Japan. For example why they attacked Pearl Harbour, if I did not know about what happened in pearl harbour and why Japan attacked the US, I could not understand why they are fighting each other. So if they were entered more into war, movie would be better. I was expecting to see more war scenes. Although they dramatic story and atmosphere of movie have covered these deficiencies. Also movie continued too long, if it has been ended after Kentero's and his sister's learned the truth, it could be more effective.
The Dark Knight (2008)
More than a superhero movie
This movie is the peak of comic book movies. I think we will never watch as this movie. In other Batman movies Joker was only a clown gangster, but in The Dark Knigh Joker was body found form of chaos. This movie is remembering me to Hobbesian theories in IR and political science. It was like a sample on human behaviours in an anarchic society and it showed us when people face with chaos, people's real faces appear. Two face is represenenting hypocrisy and hatred within human, and when chaos appears most of people tend to be selfish and show its real face. Joker transformed Harvey Dent to a criminal, although he was a lawyer. I think Batman is hope in human. If people do not have hope, people cannot live. So people needs a hope and Batman gives them to them.
