It's crazy how this titanic conflict made 2 countries really go at each other with so much hostility...a Brutal, brutal war for both sides...that all these years later I think has brought us closer together as friends and allies....Japan is the USA's greatest Ally, Friend and partner. Bizarre to think how far we have come since the 40's. And we are snatching up your baseball players and they are cheered here as much as any super megastar.
During this period, Japan was engaged in a "confrontation with communism." Soviet Russia is a threat to Japan. Therefore, the Soviet Union repeatedly invaded Mongolia and Manchuria. Japan created the Manchurian Empire to compete. However, Democratic President Roosevelt could not understand the situation in East Asia. Comintern spies also found their way into the Roosevelt administration.
Interesting that the Battle of the Java Sea underplays the IJN victory. This was a battle that should never have been fought as we lost invaluable hulls for a lost cause and they would be needed soon enough. At this point, too, in these waters it was the RAN that carried most of the load,
Superb 1960s depiction of the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service at the beginning of WWII. Certainly love the details such as aircrew wearing the large Seikosha aviator watches on their forearm !
@@elrjames7799 There was actual military engagement, Britaian used their roads on South East Asia to send weapons to China and USAir Force send pilots to fight for the chinese
Did this movie go through the entire war? I doubt they would like to hurt the cinematic portrayal of their heroic pilots by showing Truk and Rabaul being crushed by the US Navy's carrier planes, or the Marianas Turkey shoot slaughtering hundreds of their planes. How about the five US destroyers and light carriers that defeated the huge battle fleet at the battle of Samar, where the Battleship Yamato outweight the entire US ships in that battle, and didn't do anything?
the balance tipped heavily in favor of the Americans in late 1943/early 44 however the first year of the war maybe even year and a half was an incredibly tightly contested affair. the British and Dutch empires effectively lost their entire Asiatic fleets and even by the end of the gaudacanal campaign American losses in the war as a whole were very even and america had suffered greater losses at sea than japan in both personnel and tonnage. after gaudacanal the americans and allies spent almost a year rebuilding their badly depleted fleets while japan being unable to keep up and being aware of it and still heavily committed in china began preparing for a long drawn out attritional war of defense. by the time the american offensives came in 1944 they had a numerical advantage at sea that was simply insurmountable, and not having to defend dozens of spread out islands had the opportunity to concentrate force and dictate terms of engagement. by the end the war in the pacific was a decidedly American victory however that victory is in part so incredible because of how hotly contested those first 12 to 18 months were. between the british austrialian dutch and americans wartime deaths were over 200,000 and an incomprehensible amount of ships and planes were lost as well. as for the engagment at samar, that was part of the larger battle of the leyte gulf. it was a massive naval brawl with in the end 12000 japanese and 3500 american dead. the yamato is the only battleship to sink an aircraft carrier with point blank fire and it happened in sundra straight the day after samar
@@matthew-us9ti The Yamato did not sink a US carrier by point blank fire. In fact, the Yamato had left the scene of the battle of Samar avoiding a torpedo attack. So many Japanese ships were firing on Task force Taffy, any one of them could have hit the carrier. The Japanese military continually told their people lies in newspapers and radio of fantastic reports sinking dozens of US carriers, ships, and shooting down US planes in battle that never occurred. But once the B-29's station at China started bombing the home islands, their lies fell apart.
IJN propaganda or false reporting. In the attacks on Australia only one destroyer was sunk though a number of merchant ships were. The main damage was to civilian logistic infrastructure. The number of aircraft is probably correct but these included PBY flying boats and P-40 which had no ammunition onboard. Within a few months these losses had been placed along with Spitfires modified for service in the tropics. The Japanese started to take massive air casualties
War is over mate. This is a 60s movie riddles with mistakes or telling what the japanese thought they had inflicted on allied shipping. Yet the Darwin bombing was made to stop any possibility to quiclky use the harbour to send reinforcement to Java and Timor and they succeeded at shutting the harbour down. P40s were not without ammunitions but heavily outnumbered and taken by surprise. Eventually the brits did send spitfires there to cover Australia but the dogfights were far from being as onesided as you seem to think. Yet in the end Japan was crushed.
@vlad78th You are missing the ongoing bombing from Townsville to Broome and thousands of civilian casualties, so it was far more than just one strike. And no.at no time have I suggested that the air combat Waa one-sided. In fact there were problems with the Spitfires as they were intended for Europe not the tropics meaning modifications to the engines and fuel flow.
@@vlad78th Also, they did not shut the harbour down. Darwin was again fully operational with major reinforcement within a few months as a major forward base
Sadly the Bushido military rule in the mid 30s to the surrender of Japan later 1945 was nothing that should be admired there was bravery and loyalty displayed but sadly dedicated to dysfunctional mindset of domination, exploitation and in parts genocide/ mass murder to any that did not conform and show honor and loyalty & submission to the God emperor and military regime.
The Roosevelt regime would have kept making demands of Japan until it couldn't accept; the embargo upon Japan would then be placed upon it with Japan's refusal used as justification. The financial and economic FAILIRE of New-Deal policies had the Roosevelt regime gunning for war...it was all so unnecessary and culminated in a DISGUSTING MURDEROUS FRAUD.
I'm sorry, even for a Japanese film made in the 1960's this is terrible. That Battleship at the 1:25 mark is hilarious. And I'm a big fan of Godzilla and Rodan.
The same people that made the Godzilla movies back then made this film. Miniatures like this on films that didn't have a huge budget were the only option back then.
Because Japan prefered to forget. Few movies were made about the war, this trend came back in the late 90s. Japanese do not know they initiated the war in China and were even worse than the Nazis. Army supporters in Japan just want to remeber how they heroically tried to resist the US crushing superiority. The US did spare the old military because they feared a communist revolution in Japan.
This film showed how the soldiers felt during the first 6 months of the war only for their pride to be shattered and Midway and then ultimately disillusioned with their country.
Because they’re human beings. This film follows air men of the Kindo Butai. Men like them were no more responsible for the war crimes that their nation committed than a German soldier fighting in North Africa had for what was done to the Jews in concentration camps.
Don't brag about the worst nation that violated a valid treaty, continued to engage in war even after the Japanese army was disarmed, and stole Japanese territory.
海軍が一番勝っていた頃ですね。洋上における艦隊行動の特撮は全く素晴らしい!! VFX のないこの時代（1960年）円谷監督の最高傑作です。

パイロットではないですが、海軍の制服が似合うといえば、
男たちの大和の、長嶋一茂、
出口のない海の、永島敏行

搭乗員の描写も正確無比ですね。無線のコードと伝声管を再現した作品は本作と「トラ！トラ！トラ」ぐらい。東宝でもこの数年後の「山本五十六」では飛行帽から飛行服など手抜き描写が痛々しい｡

Yeah sure they reaped what they sowed, but that first 6 months was a brilliant opening gambit. The Imperial sword was sharp but fragile.
