Propaganda effort that looks just silly now. There are a few parts that are descent but the rest is just a mixture of boredom and bad taste.

War time propaganda movie that goes too far and is hard to take these days.

This movie is overly dramatic and sentimental, but it has some good scenes, and even some funny moments. In the middle of the movie it gets slow and there isn't much going on until they finally get to Tokyo. I also found it annoying that everyone kept daydreaming and we'd have to switch the focus to their memories or something all the time. This movie needs more action.
