If you've seen both movies, it's interesting at how some of the scenes overlap.

I think that was the point, that not every Japanese soldier (or citizen) was blindly following the Emperor. There were a few kamikaze pilots who did not follow through with the sucidal attacks. Enough were to dictate history, but as in every society or organization there are dissenting views. I enjoyed this film and thought the performances were universally excellent.
