For some reason this film was never released. I'm in Honolulu where all of the one puka puka was from and much of the 442nd. Here is where it would have been logical for the initial release to take place. Nothing...they're a year over due. I am of the opinion they ran into money and race issues!
@Wibbles20 yeah they had the spirit just like the japanese soldiers who fought the marines in the pacific, many japanese americans in the 442nd even wanted to be deployed into the pacific to fight the japanese.
@TheBreadCrumbs Who can beat that? This, as so much in history, should be more than passed on to our younger generation.. Dr ML King, Jr, once said that one should take time and learn from another culture.. Just as I post on FaceBook of the Tuskegee Airmen, I made a point of posting what I could on the 100th Infantry Battalion, and, the 442nd Regimental Combat Team.. Sad, they had to serve under a racist, like General Edward Almond..
Actually some of the Japanese/Americans Soldiers in the Intelegence department were incharged of decoding & interogating Japanese Prisoners. One of them even interogated & recovered vital information that saves thousands of lives. He interogated his former elementary classmate when he use to live in Japan. His loyalty to America is pure.
yeah but this is what actually happened, this is a true story. and the were a few nisei who fought against the japanese in ww2 but there were only a few of them and they were attatched to military intelligance not a unit like the 442
hopefully..been waiting forever for this one it seems..after the last few "war" movies out in theaters, St. Anna and Basterds, something decent needs to come out.
These men are my Heroes and Role model for Asian-American who sevre this country. I am Filipino-Japanese and proud to serve this country from 96-2003 with the 25th Infantry Division Hawaii and Ist Infantry Division Fort Riley Kansas. Everything I admire and believe is all American. My loyalty is to the United States and I will defend it with all cost.
@quickzilver333 And, yours is a story we ALL need to know.. It either has never been told, or, not told enough.. Our young people, of all different backgrounds, should know of this..
@zipper179 There are alot of unsung heroes with different ethnic backgrounds. One particullar Heroes are the US ARMY Filipino Scouts of WWII. They are the US ARMY ELITE FORCE in the PACIFIC. They fought and died under the American Flag. One member recieved the US Military Congressional Medal of Honor.
Give me ten thousand Filipino Soldiers and I will counquer the whole world.
@quickzilver333 Then, by GOD, tell it! Put it out there! So much we don't know, and, at 66, I want to be around to learn more.. I am definitely not too old to learn. When I stop learning, it means that I am no longer alive..
@zipper179 They made a movie about the US Army Filipino Scouts but only shown in Asia. You can also see the documentary about them in you tube. As far as Japanese America soldiers (Nizie). Watch the movie "Only The Brave" it was an independent film and never made it to the theaters.
@quickzilver333 Gives one something to, be proud of, live up to; and, most important, PLEASE! Pass this legacy on to your children, and others, of the next generation..
Pretty excited about this film, although I just noticed that a fair number of the guys are wearing postwar field jackets, as the "M-1943" Field Jacket did not have a zipper; they're wearing some M-1951 Field Jackets.
Still would look forward to seeing a well scripted and well shot film about the most decorated unit in U.S. military history. Looking at the IMDB profile, I noticed that MOH recipient, Barney Hajiro, will be portrayed. Search his name and you can find his MOH citation.
Turn up the volume, this is a heart pounding trailer and an amazing story! I've seen it like 50 times in the past year and it still gets to me. I can't wait when it comes out in 2008!
This movie is great and it is going to be a great one, cause actually I was in this trailer as an extra!! It was awesome and met really cool people, the actors, the directors, and staff!! Spread the word around and tell friends/family/etc. to visit the website and pass the word around. The more we get support, the sooner this movie will be going in motion!!!
sugoi! youkatta, finally recognition for the 442nd, many dont know anything about what they had done in the war. they were the most decorated platoon in ww2. amazin
