< p>[Edit this paragraph] Characteristics of the work

Originally written as "The Decisive Version of Man's Yamato" by Hajime Hajime, it was compiled as a collection of historical materials, letters, testimonies of survivors and bereaved families. Non-creative novels". Until now, most of the Japanese movies that have mentioned operations such as the Okinawa Water Raid have featured commanders, captains and other upper-level military personnel as protagonists. This work mainly describes the war seen by ordinary people from the perspective of sailors and petty officers. It also describes the life of citizens and the social landscape at that time, and you can feel the people in the work acting under different ideas from that time to modern times. For this reason, unlike current Japanese war movies that emphasize anti-war purposes, this film is less likely to be felt. Rather than just being anti-war, it is more about "never forget the people who died because of the war." According to the original author, "They were working hard for the country, but the government just used it and threw it away without giving them an explanation." However, although it is not obviously anti-war, it is not glorifying war. The film is full of inappropriate punishments and violent incidents on the ship, descriptions of the sadness of women who have lost loved ones, and lines criticizing Japan's emphasis on spiritualism at that time. It is completely different from the so-called affirmative view of the Greater East Asia War.
