Speaking of Kamikaze pilots: During the Battle of Midway, USA sent out their Douglas Devastator torpedoplanes to attack the Japanese fleet, despite they knew that the planes had too little fuel to be able to return to their carriers. Of the whole "Torpedo Squadron 6", only one man survived...
there r no way a kamikaze worth to be proud of, the pilots being brain washed by evil japs to commit suicide for their evil emperor; they r the result of a FAIL politic system ...
@TheMalaccan , Its life or death and if your country is being attack I hope you would act the same way. The war was being lost and it was easier to trained a pilot to crash a plane with bomb then it is to trained him how to engaged an enemy fighter who was better trained and had better machines.
@MockingDaBird I would say the young American sailors were the brave ones. They stayed on their ships and fought the kanakazi. They had no where to run, hide or fly to. The japanese were cowards, couldnt fight fair because they would lose. My grandfather was on a US destoryer that came under a kamakazi attack, their ship help shoot them down before they took out the carrier.
@flapjacks28 There's no "fair fighting" in war. There's only fighting to win, to survive. Even USA performed operations that, in reality, meant suicide for the men involved. Among them during the Battle of Midway and the D-Day invasion in Normandy.
The people taken into camps in the USA actually DID serve to find Japs sending spy information back to Japan. Cimes agaisnt humanity? Look up what they did to prisoners. There is a 99% chance you reaped UNTOLD benefits because of AMerican intervention sometime in history. It's so easy for you to have an opinion when you don't know what the FUCK you're talking about. You should go home, and rinse your mouth out with a revolver. You don't deserve to breathe the same air as Americans. Fuckin' jerk
@Quillons1 I not only served in RVN as a pilot, but later in the Philippines as a Civilian pilot during 1979-81.
At night our landlords would tell us of the atrocities the Japanese committed, including setting over 200 American on fire just down the street from us ("Google" Palawan Atrocity, it comes up). Japs were brutal to everyone, unfortunately QuickSixx comes from the "Kumbaya" mentality of typical Libtards.
@Helismoke I actually have read about it. I'm not an expert on the subject but they even did a re-creation of it in a recent movie. I didn't mean to imply i was only Americans that suffered in their captivity. These were fanatical, savage bastards. This moron QickSixx is like so many others in the world that love to hate us because if they hate their own politicians, they disappear in the night. What did you fly in the RVN?
@QuickSixx Not at all. This is really the story of a young boy coming of age in extreme conditions. He is singing the song because he respects the bravery of the pilots and their loyalty. You should really watch it...its quite a good film.
@QuickSixx No it's a fabulous film. Stacks of stalwart "Diplomatic" ex-pat brits with some allies caught up by the Japanese before they could evacuate. Check out the boy's salute...pure Sandhurst....and you couldn't get a more British medic than Nigel Havers could you? Hope you enjoy it!
@QuickSixx Yeah, propaganda. How these "brave" Japanese "warriors" launched an "honorable" attack on the United States. Those damn Yanks have some fucking NERVE to have kicked the shit out of them in the Pacific. You asshole. Japanese atrocities against prisoners of war were as bad if not worse than what Hitler did to the Jews. I guess since there weren't as many of them it doesn't count though. I still giggle when I see footage of these Japs get FLAMED in war movies and real footage.
@Quillons1 And when the war started between the two countries. All in the USA living Japanese people were closed in concentration camps. Atomic bombs were twice used against humanity and both can be listed to the USA. A crime against humanity. Or should i write it was a genocide or holocaust what you did to civilians? Allways covering your crimes with "so we could end the war with less casualities" yeah so why was the 2nd bomb necessary? A Pacific Ocean doesnt belong the USA.
@QuickSixx You are a typical leftist, ignorant liberal. You have no idea what you're talking about. Another non-American trying to judge what we did to make the world a better place. Yes, we nuked em twice. Because those fanatical savages didn't surrender after the first. They almost didn't even after the second. These assholes floated bombs across on the Jet stream to drop on US civilians. But the USA is the bad guy because they were better at it. As for the internments...
@Quillons1 Left? Liberal? I hate them all! The world would be a better place if the USA dont interrupts WW1 in Europe. Then we dont had WW2 and all the death people! Of course the weapon industry wanted the USA to join. They made huge profit with every war since WW1.
@Quillons1 lolz im an american in studying history to become a history proffesor in there is no evidence that we needed to drop the nuclear bombs on japan the main reason was not because the japs were steadfast refusing ot surrender the fact ws they were planning to surrender to the russians once the russians joined the war in the pacific in order for us to get the credit in occupation of japan we had to nuke them so they would surrender to us.
@chitownzfinesthustla the fact that you're learning that in history and plan to teach it yourself, saddens me. Hopefully, your students will learn on their own.
@majorlagg1 um seriously dude the fact you dont know the reasons behind major events in history in like to look at the 4thgrade vanilla history book in call yourself learned saddens me:)
@chitownzfinesthustla WHICH history books are NOT bullshit in one way or the other? Several hundred years ago, there was a king in Denmark called "Christian the good". In Sweden and in Swedish history books he was/is called "Christian the tyrant". "History" and "truth" totally depends on at which side You are if there is a conflict.
@YDDES all history is full of lies in bullshit its written by the victor but thats the whole point we say since we won ww2 that we nuked the japs because oh it would cost a million lives to take japan by ofrce etc thats all bullshit i real motives were pure politcal bullshit, ww2 was not fought to stop fascism or save the jews it was used for the corporations of america to gain a foothold on previously exclusive business venturess like middleeastern oil for instance. the war was caused by
@chitownzfinesthustla I don't think Germany attacked Poland because of any "American corporations". Hitler gained support because of the terms Germany faced after WW1. Britain and France were most responsible for that.
Considering the "Kamikaze" pilots and all other suicide missions by Japanese, invading Japan before a formal surrender had cost millions of lives at both sides. More people were killed in Tokyo by convetional bombs than by A-bombs in Hiroshima. The sooner the war ended the better.
@YDDES omfg dude listen you twat we bombed hiroshima not to end the war because it would save lives but because we needed japan to surrender to us in not japa what dont you get about that?
@chitownzfinesthustla "Russia" (Soviet) declared war on Japan AFTER Hiroshima was bombed. Considering how the fighting went on on the Pacific islands, it had been a horrible bloodbath if American troops had attempted a landing in the Japanese mainland before a formal surrender. I can fully understand that the US High Command choose the bombing.
Also: Hadn't Germany surrendered, Berlin might have been the first target.
@RyanBrooksby Maybe Soviet didn't fight the Japanese, but they officially declared war and occupied som Japanese islands after Hiroshima had been bombed.
@YDDES agression from the japanese but they only did it because we cut off there supplies what other choice did they have? not to mention we refused all deals the japs tried to give yes history is full of lies etc but im talking about reading all the diffrent view points of history not just one sides in then atleast some facts about what happend can be found dont just read one book in base your views off of that.
I saw this on a cable channel when I had a bad cold one night and couldn't sleep. I had no idea what I was watching....never heard of it.......The movie just sucked me right in. That's what a great movie does....it pulls you right into it (like Shawshank Redemption)......this is one of the best fuckin movies I have ever seen
So much emotion of the struggles of the people caught in the maelstrom of the war. The Japanese pilots singing their farewell song before flying on a kamikazi mission, the boy singing the Welsh lullaby of home, the swerve and bravado skill of force displayed by the American pilots in American built machines with English designed engines.
I having been a boy after the War met many of the people who were in and fought in that war, American, British, Canadian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean...
I just watched the movie. The kid was too hyper and consequently hard to love. The point that he loved airplanes and flight was driven in like a railroad spike. I mean it was important to give meaning to the final scene, but the point was overstated. If the movie could have steered away from cliches it would have been perfect. The photography and basic idea of the movie is good though. Worth watching, just not perfect.
@pnq8787 A kid at play and a world at war. The kid had to grow up through the movie but he was still a kid with a kid like quality still intact. He was excited because he was so close to the pilot in the plane as it flew by, that would excite any kid. Steven explained it himself.
Great moment in time even though it was staged, both sides have something in common at this moment, they are both filled with sorrow, they long for peace and tranquility, they have forgotten what happiness is, even the Japanese overlords,
The same Suo Gan from the soundtrack? It's gotta be some old Japanese song, I don't think it's the same as Suo Gan. Anyone else has a different take on it?
Damn, I always cry at this scene. What a combination of soundtrack and the P-51 Mustang , THE Cadillac of the sky ! I cannot but think of the people that actually lived through scenes like this at the wars end, the arsenal of democracy come to take me home......
@Engage777 No way Jose. Abbot's desoxyn gradanets. Mighty powerful medicine from medicine god. Pure injectable meth. Think America took it off market. 1960's America was hooked on it. Read the ads for amphetamines in the old JAMA. Riot.
i love the scene at the end where he meets his parents again finally and can't really remember them.......his parents tell straight away what he must have been through without them......it makes me cry that scene.
I was astounded just when I watched this film only recently how superb this film was. Looks like films these days are almost garbages compared with this. The ending is too sad to cry and how beautiful this film is from the start to the ending. Sorry they don't make films like this anymore.
i was watching this film in yr 7 or 8 and i was ill (i am in yr 10) i thoguht oh whats this now so i watched and at the end i was like OH....MY....GOD what a film that is one of the best war films going 5/5 mate freaking brill film i watch is all the time now
I first saw it when I was 8, for years I tired to figure out what it was, I always remembered how Christian Bale was dressed as Sinbad if I'm correct in thinking. And I just stumbled across it and now I can't stop watching it! It's amazing
How about the cinematography in this excerpt? absolutely fantastic, the mis en scene, sound, and of course those few moments of a P51D in slow motion, just balancing in the wind, a pure aesthetic masterpiece. Isnt it amazing that this film doesnt 'feel' like an 80's relic? after almost 20 years it is still brilliant.
I didnt know that was christian bale, wow hes a really good actor. I didnt know his accent was so british i thoght he was from america.Great movie though
@ 5:17 that is none other than the late ray hanna who died a few years ago i had the pleasure of meeting him at biggin hill airshow he signed the front copy of my dvd of this fantastic film i still treasure it to this day!
this film is good, acting is great, i was really upset when his friend on the other side of the fence got killed, really sad, thats war for you!! sad but true! x
I read the book by JG Ballard. IT was a book that would go on and on without any dialogue. IT was just Jamie roaming the country side. Originally David Lean wanted to direct this, BUT gave the notes to Steven Spielberg. There are many faults about this film as i look back. TOO pretty for interment camp. IT does have haunting images. John Williams music is excellent. Daviau Photography is Stunning. IS this Spielberg's second best directing effort? Some say.
what is annoying to me, is that your dad will not pull out his dentures and will not give me anymore FIRE HEAD since he found this lil boy up the street. I miss those good ol fire head days.
Yep, the Japanese actually started singing their own Japanese song, and Bale joined in with his own song (a song he's familiar with) as a sign of respect. Also worth noting that that's the voice singing is not his.
I wasn't aware that youtube was a place in which we needed to use proper grammar in order to point out errors in people's interpretations, thank you for that though...
Oh and by the way- Einstein was a scientist, not a literary genius. He also never completed gradeschool. I thought it would be fitting to point out some of your errors since you took the time to point out mine:)
Cadillac of the sky no doubt - but not as good as the Spitfire! ;-)

Whats the name of the song the Japanese airmen are singing?

When the plane scene was first filmed, the director couldn't get Bale to react so they edited in the jumping/screaming scenes later. Excellent movie.

@Engage777 No way Jose. Abbot's desoxyn gradanets. Mighty powerful medicine from medicine god. Pure injectable meth. Think America took it off market. 1960's America was hooked on it. Read the ads for amphetamines in the old JAMA. Riot.

I was astounded just when I watched this film only recently how superb this film was. Looks like films these days are almost garbages compared with this. The ending is too sad to cry and how beautiful this film is from the start to the ending. Sorry they don't make films like this anymore.

I first saw it when I was 8, for years I tired to figure out what it was, I always remembered how Christian Bale was dressed as Sinbad if I'm correct in thinking. And I just stumbled across it and now I can't stop watching it! It's amazing

How about the cinematography in this excerpt? absolutely fantastic, the mis en scene, sound, and of course those few moments of a P51D in slow motion, just balancing in the wind, a pure aesthetic masterpiece. Isnt it amazing that this film doesnt 'feel' like an 80's relic? after almost 20 years it is still brilliant.

I read the book by JG Ballard. IT was a book that would go on and on without any dialogue. IT was just Jamie roaming the country side. Originally David Lean wanted to direct this, BUT gave the notes to Steven Spielberg. There are many faults about this film as i look back. TOO pretty for interment camp. IT does have haunting images. John Williams music is excellent. Daviau Photography is Stunning. IS this Spielberg's second best directing effort? Some say.

Yep, the Japanese actually started singing their own Japanese song, and Bale joined in with his own song (a song he's familiar with) as a sign of respect. Also worth noting that that's the voice singing is not his.

I wasn't aware that youtube was a place in which we needed to use proper grammar in order to point out errors in people's interpretations, thank you for that though...
Oh and by the way- Einstein was a scientist, not a literary genius. He also never completed gradeschool. I thought it would be fitting to point out some of your errors since you took the time to point out mine:)
