havent watched many movies the past few weeks. wow the thread seems extra shit. anyways i watched the emperors naked army marches on tonight. what an absolutely insane documentary from start to finish, its hard to believe its a little over two hours it pretty much flew by for me. i feel like i need more time for it to really sit with me and fully digest because the main character kenzo okuzaki is a very complicated character to say the least. i find his schizophrenic levels of delusion and sense of moral superiority revolting and yet there is another part of me that feels deep respect and admiration for someone who is willing to sacrifice everything for what he believes in no matter the cost. you cant help but feel somewhat inspired by the fact he genuinely believes he has some kind of divine mission from god to shed light on the war crimes committed by the imperial japanese army on its own soldiers and hold those guilty accountable. but at the same time i also feel contempt for someone who fails to ever even spend a moment reflecting on the sins he himself committed against the natives/allies during the war. this is something i find really annoying about japan in general which is that they were never humbled in the same way germany was for their piggish behavior during ww2 but that is unrelated to the documentary i guess. anyways would definitely recommend watching it
