Description

[Machine Translation] This is the second war epic from the director Toshio Masuda and screenwriter Kazuo Kasahara, the duo behind the moving masterpiece "The Two Hundred and Thirty-three Plateaus". This two-part epic was shot on location in Taiwan and Saipan at a total production cost of 1.5 billion yen. The Empire of Japan - issued on February 11, 1889, and extinguished with Japan's defeat in World War II - was unmistakably the national title of the Japanese people. This film depicts a group of young men and women who were sent to the battlefield and traced their harsh destiny, based on historical facts, mainly on the southern front from 1941 to 1945, when the Empire of Japan was in the process of dying out. This is a war epic that dares to ask what the war was like for the Japanese people in this age of peace. The cast includes Tetsuro Tanba as Hideki Tojo, Tomisaburo Wakayama as the strategist Lieutenant General Ishihara, Tomokazu Miura, Teruhiko Aoi, Teruhiko Saigo and Saburo Shinoda as tragic young soldiers living in a time of madness and cruelty. Keiko Sekine, Masako Natsume, and Akiko Kana round out the cast of actresses.

Description in Japanese

大日本帝国 [廉価版] / 邦画

感動の名作「二百三高地」を手掛けた、監督・舛田利雄&脚本・笠原和夫のコンビが放つ戦争巨編第2弾。二部構成の本作は、総製作費15億、台湾・サイパン長期ロケを敢行して撮影された超大作である。大日本帝国―明治22年2月11日に発布され、第二次世界大戦での敗戦とともに消滅したこの国号は、紛れもなく日本民族の国家の称号であった。本作は〈大日本帝国〉が滅び行く昭和16年から昭和20年にかけての南方戦線を中心に、戦野に駆り出された若者たちの過酷な運命を辿る青春群像を史実に基づいて描きながら、〈大日本帝国〉の下に政府、軍人、民間人はどう生きていったのか、日本人にとってあの戦争は何であったのかを、敢えて平和の現代に問うた一大戦争巨編。キャストは、東条英機に丹波哲郎、戦略家・石原元陸軍中将に若山富三郎が扮する他、三浦友和、あおい輝彦、西郷輝彦、篠田三郎らが、狂気と残酷の時代に生きる悲壮な青年兵士を好演。関根恵子、夏目雅子、佳那晃子ら、女優陣も豪華な顔ぶれが揃っている。
