(1959) Fires on a Plain.
(In Japanese with English subtitles).
Story based on actual fact from a novel written by Shohei Ooka while serving for the Japanese army during WWII during the invasion of the Phillipines! Anti-war movie which showcases almost at the end of WWII and the Japanese had already been defeated, turning the focus on a particular person by the name of Tamura while suffering from turbecolosis who gets rejected by first the hospital he was ordered to resettle until it was blown away, taking no prisoners was not an option during that particular time since they'd just be shot down, forcing remaining survivors to find refuge on their own! Hunger was so bad with some of the remaining survivors of the Japanese soldiers that it would lead them to commit acts of cannibalism! This is not a pretty film to watch!
3 out of 4.
