A rare post-war reflection on Japan. But like other similar films, the director deliberately ignored the suffering and characters of the invaded country, and instead focused on depicting the pain of the aggressor itself. This eclectic anti-war is not a compromise?

We are taught that war criminals are beasts. Now, how vulnerable those are. Our black-and-white films have no exterior locations, no foreigners who speak foreign languages, no collective portrayal, no reflection on human nature. Saw the British epaulettes, speaking with an authentic British accent, and the faint British horn in the background. I'm kind of moved because this is a real movie.

British officer: We've done all we can. The troops that took Triangle Mountain have returned home. The Japanese survivors are not in this town.
Captain Inouye: But that tune?
British officer: You hear a certain way of playing - a few notes floating by the breeze, and it's enough to make you think a dead man is alive. You must be dreaming.
British officer: [to his adjutant] He must be dreaming!

Captain Inouye: The songs uplifted our spirits and sometimes our hearts.
