MA NOTE

Based on true stories chronicled in a semi-autobiographical book by the same title, 'Oba, The Last Samurai', depicting events on Saipan during the Second World War by a US Marine intelligence officer, Don Jones. The events are depicted through the eyes of both the Japanese and the Americans with each side being helmed and represented by a Japanese director, cast and crew as well as an American director, cast and crew.
The films tells the story of a Captain Oba and his band of men who hid out in the jungle, refusing to surrender as well as throwing away their lives in suicide attacks and that of an American Marine intelligence officer intent on bringing Oba and his men out of the jungles, safely and above all alive.
This film is a truly international collaboration replete with cultural as well as technical differences being portrayed on the screen by a Japanese/American/Thai crew.

Pretty Good movie

The English dialog was not very good, but the story was worth telling, and it is a good war story told from the Japanese perspective.

The Japanese actors, and cast all did a superb job, and the American cast did an adequate job. It is refreshing to see a realistic look at the war from the Japanese side. The movie told the story of the Japanese people on the island, both soldiers and civilians, and it explained their attitude about the war.

The scenery is great, and if the story does not show an American defeat, at lest it shows an American struggle. It also captures the moment of the Japan's surrender, showing that it was not as instantaneousness as some historians lead to believe. Overall, it was a story about a Japanese hero fighting for survival, and a group of Americans fighting because it's their job.
