Japan's War In Colour

Using never-before-seen footage, Japan's War In Colour tells a previously untold story. It recounts the history of the Second World War from a Japanese perspective, combining original colour film with letters and diaries written by Japanese people. It tells the story of a nation at war from the diverse perspectives of those who lived through it: the leaders and the ordinary people, the oppressors and the victims, the guilty and the innocent. Until recently, it was believed that no colour film of Japan existed prior to 1945. But specialist research has now unearthed a remarkable colour record from as early as the 1930s. For eight years the Japanese fought what they believed was a Holy War that became a fight to the death. Japan's War In Colour shows how militarism took hold of the Japanese people; describes why Japan felt compelled to attack the West; explains what drove the Japanese to resist the Allies for so long; and, finally, reveals how they dealt with the shame of defeat.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

We can say without hesitation The Pianist is a masterpiece. Thls movle is based on true story of Wladyslaw Szpilman who in the 1930s (in war time) was considered one of the most successful pianist. But the movie is not about his success. It is about A Polish jew who was fought against all bad things and faced situations that he never imagined and he finally survived by losing everything and everyone. The character played by Adrien Brody. He is tremendous actor who captures his character completely and carries the film with his amazingly real performance. He makes the story of an unforgettable experience. The dramatic life or death plot is very gripping. It is a very touching movie that should be seen by everyone.

The movie is spectacular and you can imagine the hard world to Judes people in this time. You can imagine the difficulties to them. You mustsee this movie! In my TOP, I have any doubt abut this. The pianist can transmite th++his feelings with his sad eyes and with his very but very sad music playing in piano. The atmosphere in this time was so terrible and it possible for us to imagine are in them own places. Very similar like Schindler list. I love this movie. Very good!
