What film is this from. Japanese film with a mix of real life and CGI work

[FTJR]

The movie doesn't glorify the war or the actions of anyone. It's a sad story about the real teenagers who were coerced to sacrifice their lives. It's about young people being sent to their slaughter, as they always are, by older men. The message is the futility of it all.

The one thing that has always made me wonder is why kamikazi pilots wore helmets?


ack-ack

Is that where they have their headset to listen on to other squad mates?

Well, but the Indians were uncivilized savages, so it is hardly in any way at all similar.  Plus almost a century passed between these events.   Civilization had become more civilized during that time.   So the actions of the Japanese during WWII was far more different from the norm in its period.

Plus there was no real plan to wipe out the American Indians.   If there had been one, there would be none alive today.   In contrast, the government of Japan totally orchestrated the horrors they visited upon China, Korea, and several other nations.   Even today, diplomatic relations between Japan and both China and Korea remain strained.

It was a combination of many factors that devastated Native American Indian populations.   Disease killed far, far more than were killed by men.   And that was simply nature at work.

My own great great grandfather killed 3 of them in an incident while traveling from Missouri to California in 1854.  The wagon train that he was part of could not afford to let the small band of Indian warriors continue to trail them.   So he and several other men rode out in the opposite direction, and then circled around and ambushed the Indians as they continued to shadow the wagon train.  Indians were infamous at being horse thieves, and they were very fearful that they were waiting for an opportunity to steal their horses.   So they clearly had to be killed.

If these Indians had not wanted to die, then they should have ignored the wagon train and let is pass by.

Wow Small pox on blankets comes to mind the attempted eradication of the Buffalo as well to remove a food source for the natives. I would say there was a plan by some fortunately others with commom sense stopped it from being completed.

I thought there was only a receiver radio in all of the planes besides the flight lead's... or were those German craft?

I don't know maybe somebody will answer the question.

Yea, it is hard to face what you done in the pass.  Kind like what U.S. did to Native American Indians. 

I did nothing to native americans in the past.  Thus, I have nothing to face up to.

I mean "we", not directly you.  sorry  Let me fix this.  What U.S. Government has done and still continue doing to Native American Indians.

Per John Toland's book, "The Rising Sun, The Decline and Fall of the Japanese Empire," the fighters at Pearl Harbor did not have radios.  Fuchida in a bomber fired flares to signal the fighters. 

Bombers had radios.  Early fighters didn't. 

Wouldn't the radios be stripped prior to launch?
