For Those We Love (DVD) (English Subtitled) (Hong Kong Version)

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.

1944年秋,日軍在太平洋戰爭中節節潰敗。海軍中將大西瀧治郎(伊武雅刀飾)提議組建空軍特攻隊轟炸敵艦,用僅存的兵力與敵人週旋到底。關上尉(的場浩司飾)迅速著手實行中將的計劃。但幾個月後,美軍展開登陸戰。日軍只好在鹿兒島知覽機場設立特攻基地,全力死守沖繩。

板東勝次少尉(窪塚洋介飾)、田端廣一少尉(筒井道隆飾)及中西正也少尉(德重聰飾)這班年青人即將出擊。隊員們分別用自己的方式渡過人生最後的夜晚。而第二天,親人們各自目送著他們起飛奔赴戰場……439位年輕人將會為了守護所愛之人… 向著一條不歸之路起飛…

In the autumn of 1944 the Japanese military had collapsed into an overwhelmingly disadvantageous battle-situation in the Pacific War. Under the proposal of Vice Admiral Takijiro Onishi (Masato Ibu), Kamikaze units were formed comprising fighter aircraft loaded with 250 kilogram bombs that would conduct suicidal ramming attacks on enemy ships. In 1945. In order to Kagoshima prefecture was rapidly converted to an army Kamikaze.

It was the time for Second Lieutenant Bando (Yosuke Kubozuka). Tabata (Michitaka Tsutsui), and Nakanishi (Satoshi Tokushige) to take part in the Battle. The unit member each solemnly spent their last night of their lives, and 439 young men would depart for a never return mission in the next dawn.

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
