Film7.2SavaşTarih2. Dünya Savaşı’nda, Amerika’nın sabrının taşmasına neden olan Pearl Harbor baskınını, hem Japonlar’ın hem de Amerikalılar’ın bakış açılarıyla anlatmayı deneyen, gösterişli bir ortak yapım. Baskının öncesi ve sonrasında yaşanan olaylar dizisini de perdeye taşıyan “Tora! Tora! Tora!”, özellikle o ünlü saldırı sahnelerinde ürkütücü bir gerçekçiliği yakalamayı başarıyor. Film, 1939 yılında Amiral Isoroku Yamamoto’nun Japon Kraliyet Donanması’nın komutasını üzerine almasıyla başlar. Eğitimini Harvard’da tamamlamış, ateşli bir milliyetçi olan komutan, önceleri Amerika’yla yapılacak bir savaşa karşı olmasına rağmen, zamanla fikrini değiştirir. Japonya’nın, Asya’nın en güçlü devleti olma arzusu onu da etkiler ve vargücüyle Amerikalılar’la savaşmaya hazırlanır. Öte yandan ABD cephesinde, Japonya’nın egemenliğine karşı çıkma hazırlıkları başlar.

Film7.8DramPaul Schrader'in Japon yazar-eylemci Yukio Mishima hakkındaki sıra dışı filmi, Japonca çekilmiş (Roy Schneider'in az miktardaki İngilizce dış sesine rağmen) zengin bir Amerikan sanat filmi, yani bir anomalidir. Mishima bir narsist, devrimci bir vatansever, samuray özentisi ve muhtemelen 20. yüzyılın en önemli Japon yazarıdır. Taksi Şoförü'ndeki Travis Bickle'nin yaratıcısının, kendini ruhen Mishima'ya yakın gördüğü aşikârdır ama film sadece bir saygı gösterisi değildir. Schrader, Mishima'nın takındığı pek çok maskeyi büyük bir zeka ve açıklıkla ortaya döker.

FilmSavaşDuring the naval battle of Midway in WWII, the battleship Mutsu was in its home port in Japan. The ship's officers and crew were frustrated at not being able to take part in the fighting. They had been held back by orders from the Naval Ministry, but there was also a plot by saboteurs, who were trying to prevent the sailing of the Mutsu. Director Komori developed a suspenseful plot by including a fictional adaptation of the Russian spy Richard Sorge, who had been captured in Japan and subsequently executed. Komori brings a fictional Russian spy to the screen by portraying him as a military attaché at the German embassy. As Germany was an ally of Japan in WWII, a secret agent being a mole in the German embassy is a perfect cover. The interaction of the saboteurs and the officers and crew of the Mutsu make an exciting story.
