It was interesting to watch how immediate end of WWII in Japan affected the Emparor Hirohito.
My parents love Japan. They visited Japan on many occasions, and I am pleased to say that my father dined with Emparor Akihito, son of Emparor Hirohito, the main subject of this film.
I am always interested to watch films about when unthinkable turns into reality. I am sure many of the inner circle around Hirohito never thought that he was going to be for surrender. But his reasonable thinking prevailed. He saved many Japanese cities from the devastation of the American nuclear bombs. Only later we knew that his reasonable thinking prevailed and how dramatic was that night before his radio broadcast to the Japanese people.
As far as film goes, since it was based on a true event, there is not much to add, plot is interesting.
Acting is a little bit to be desired, that is why I gave 6 out of 10 to this film and not 7 out of 10.
All in all if you interested in the historical films, especially ones dealing with the historical acts this is a film for you.
