Warning: Spoilers
Folks looking for an action movie, a war movie, or a feelgood movie are not going to understand this film. The film is really about Japanese politics and culture within the Japanese Admiralty before WWII. There is a little bit of politics at the beginning of the movie, it transitions to a feel-good piece where the protagonist is breaking down barriers to solve a problem, and then the conclusion of the movie is the big political reveals. Reveals because the politics break into several conclusions on the part of the real hero's of the story who are in competing factions within the Admiralty.
