CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Griff Lees Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

baristonak 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.

Vinny37 A very interesting film, interposing current with WW2 scenes, Kentaro, a grandson (simplified) researching his biological grandfather (Miyabe) who flew as a Kamikaze yet some had branded a coward. The twists become more complex, as a complex life is drawn, and a number who had known Miyabe, even a converted enemy, lived to fight for him after the war. I found it heart warming, until (about 2hr, 16min in), a US naval officer showed just how dishonourable the US side apparently was by screaming the F-word – that's the only place such shame comes into the film. A bitter taste after the film ended. I would not have watched (nor would again) had I had the head's up beforehand, and grade it as close to a zero as the IMDb allows. I cannot recommend that nihilism, though the film otherwise was exemplary.

TheOpinionGuy The Eternal Zero, just had it all, it is masterfully executed. The visual effects during the combat scenes are pretty spectacular. It's deeply touching story and amazing acting.It's about time we see things from the Japanese perspective when it comes to the WW2. I'm tired of all the americanfied WW2 movies. Nothing beat the Japanese film making when it comes to dramas they make, they are simply the best at it. This movie is no exceptions and will leave you the viewer with heavy emotions and a lasting impression. It is simply Japanese film making at it's best.I can highly recommend this movie, to anyone that is interested in Japanese drama. Specific to war movies buffs that want to see how it was on the other side.

hottisotakupoju Eien no Zero was a big thing in Japan, basically everywhere you went you saw a trailer or a commercial for it, people at movie theatres cried during the movie. From a gaijins point of view, it was a interesting war movie, that showed so-called Japanese spirit, that went way overboard during the war.Before the movie I read the book so I knew what to expect and the movie was way better than I could have expected. Everything felt authentic, moments in modern days didin't feel too long or jarring. People next to me were crying during the movie and I can see why. People who are nowadays called "terrorists" or "cowardly suicide bombers" were people fighting for their country, for their ancestors and their future. most of them knew that they would die during the battles, but they had to continue or they would be traitors.I really recommend this movie, If you are interested in Asian drama or war movies, this movie is for you.
