It's all part of the "young whippersnappers today need to take more pride 
in our nation and its glorious history of noble sacrifice"theme that runs 
through the recent spate of WWII-themed movies ("Yamato", "Lorelei", 
Ishihara Shintaro's forthcoming "Kimi no Tame koso Shin ni Iku" etc.), 
which is also a view that just so happens to be espoused by the incumbent 
political leadership . Aaron Gerow wrote a thorough analysis of such films 
for Japan Focus:

A far cry from Fukasaku Kinji's "Under the Flag of the Rising Sun".
