Trivia
Is the first Japanese movie in stereo.

Quotes
Kaji: The Red Army should be different from the Japanese or the Nazis. Fundamentally different even from the American army. Minor incidents from a historical standpoint can be of vital importance to the individual. For those who've seen such failings, the scars never heal. The blood of hatred will continue to ooze from the wounds, forming a breeding ground for distrust that can't be wiped out. A trivial event perhaps, but also a stain on humanity. How can you defend such a thing?

personality effecting movie

i had listened a lot about this movie but was unlucky that i had not seen this. This is a fascinating movie and i think that i am still feeling effect of the movie on my personality. I never imagined that even a movie can effect someone so much,and also there is feeling that what should be an excellent human condition ( as shown by Kaji and his wife) and what is prevailing human condition as we see around us. I have deep regards for all the crew of the movie who provided us a worth seeing and personality effecting movie. I dedicate all I have learned to the director of movie Masaki Kobayashi.

I have given the movie 10/10 because i find no point to deduct even a single mark. I recommend all serious movie viewers to kindly must see this movie and try to learn from it.
