Anti-militarist movies about 'kamikaze'

[shota ogawa]

Dear Martin,

I'm not sure how you are defining "anti-militarist," but Furuhata Yasuo's *
Hotaru *shows Tokkous under a new light.
Furuhata not only depicts a Korean pilot (a motif that Ishihara used also in
Ore wa ... which I would not describe as anti-militarist) but depicts
the "mother" of Tokkou as an old woman who now feels that she was simply too
young and ignorant when she had been sending youths to tokkou mission.

good luck.
