YesAsia Editorial Description

A stirring memoir about kamikaze pilots who gave their lives during the war, WWII film For Those We Love, a.k.a. I Go To Die For You, attracted a lot of attention in Japan from the get-go because of its sensitive topic and the participation of renowned writer and outspoken Tokyo governor Ishihara Shintaro. Known for his nationalistic leanings, Ishihara served as producer and screenwriter for the film, adapting his own novel for the big screen. The film is directed by Shinjo Taku (Okinawan Boys) and stars Kubozuka Yosuke (Ping Pong), along with Tsutsui Michitaka (The Crossing), Kishi Keiko (The Twilight Samurai), Tabe Mikako (Night Time Picnic), and Nakamura Tomoya (Rampo Noir).

For Those We Love follows a group of young kamikaze pilots during their final days, as remembered by an elderly restaurant operator who spent time with them before they flew off on their last mission. The film touches on the people whose lives were affected by the pilots, from their families to the townspeople near the military base, and features impressive aerial battle scenes. Though a potential harbor for controversy, this heart-tugging film mainly appeals to universal sentiments about youth, courage, and sacrifice, providing an anthem for the war dead.

    Touching story, good film Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
    I just finished watching this WW II war movie, and overall I found it quite entertaining.

    To start with the positive sides about it :
    -Interesting story about the Kamikaze pilots, and how the last days/hours/seconds went for them.
    -impressive aerial battles with great CGI effects.
    -Good acting
    -Cute girls :D
    Negative sides:
    - the movie was a bit slow, and could have been shortened down with 30 minutes.
    - I think the movie acts too "japanese" in regards to handling. Not that that is a bad thing, but it excludes a broader international audience in my opinion. With that i mean they could have cut out all the typical japanese comedy and screaming. It seems a bit over-acting to foreing viewers. Im used to it though, so for me it's ok, but the people i watched it with thought it was just weird.
    - Instead of that, they could have added ALOT more action scenes. Too much storytelling for a war movie in my opinion.
    - Speaking about storytelling, there were too many different stories and people to refer to, so it was easy to lose the thread.

    Ooops, that became alot of negative views compared to the positives, but overall I liked the movie. It was touching, and left u thinking what those lost souls went through the moments before they died. If i made it though, I would have done a few things different.
    8/10
