1944
Drama
War
1h 27m
Keisuke Kinoshita's wartime film, Army is anything but the rousing call to arms and reinforcement of patriotism that the authorities had envisioned the film would be. Known for his Ofuna-flavored shomin-geki "women's pictures", Kinoshita subverts the official themes of duty, allegiance to the emperor, and national glory. (Strictly Film School)

The acting is good but the direction is middle of the road add to that the fact that I found the ideology of the story to be completely idiotic didn't help matters.

Rikugun [Army] (1944) brings what you'd expect from a Japanese film from this time period, but since it's so rooted in that war propaganda, those genuine moments you get from the great classics simply isn't there. The characters doesn't feel authentic enough for the subtle nature of their style to shine through.
