Review of Emperor (2012) by Foong M — 11 Jul 2014
It's passable as a made for TV drama, complete with a feel good ending. However, it's also an unacceptable piece of revisionist history that attempts to explain away war crimes by foisting responsibility solely on the military while portraying the emperor himself as a docile pacifist.
No mention of his authorization for the use of poison gas and his direct involvement in the Sino-Japanese war. Rubbish.
