Movie: Uner the Flag of the Rising Sun


Picture: Taken while walking at the park late this afternoon.

Netflix movie: Under the Flag of the Rising Sun, a 1972 antiwar movie out of Japan. Very good, very antiwar, and with a talk over that got in the way of the story line (subtitles) on occasion but for the most part provided information and insight that was very helpful in understanding the movie, the times, the temperament. Excellent. Gave it a five. Interesting note: the war action takes place in Papua New Guinea and includes a mention of Finchaven which is where Bob Norris was stationed during WWII. A second interesting note: Diane stayed for the whole bloody thing and also thought it was great.
