The is a review of the MOVIE, not the poster
By Paul Allaer
This weekend I saw the new release "Emperor" and I am quite surprised that Amazon does not have it listed yet as a future DVD release, which it generally does with new theatre releases. Anyway, as nice as the poster of the movie is, this is a review of the MOVIE as I don't know where else to post this."Emperor" (2013 release; 98 min.) brings the true story of how General/Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces MacArthur (played here by Tommy Lee Jones) was sent to Japan following Japan's surrender to end WWII, to assess which top ranking officials from Japan, including possibly Emperor Hirohito, should be brought to justice and stand trial. MacArthur enlistens the help of General Fellers (played by Matthew Fox) for the actual investigations, focusing on the Emperor, the Prime Minister and a few other top Ministers. The problem is that Washington demands a conclusion in only 10 days. The movie's script (based on the bpook 'His Majesty's Salvation' by Shiro Okamoto) intertwines the political and military aspects with a romantic involvement by Fellers with a Japanese woman whom he gets to know in the 1930s in the US, but who eventually returns to Japan without telling Fellers. Fellers is determined to find her now that he is back in Japan. Will Fellers find his former flame? Will Fellers and MacArthur conclude that the Emperor of Japan must stand trial? To tell you more would ruin your viewing experience, you'll just have to see for yourself how it all plays out.Several thoughts: director Peter Webber (best known for directing "Girl WIth a Pearl Earring") does a nice job in bringing the necessary historical nackground and perspective, so as to appreciate the taks at hand for Fellers and MacArthur. Even though Tohyo was not hit by the atomic bomb, it nevertheless was severely shelled and bombed, and we get a glimpse of what that must've felt like. Tommy Lee Jones does the most with the choice role of MacArthur, including adding some much needed occasional humor. The meeting between MacArthur and the Emperor towards the movie's end is by far THE highlight of the movie. Kudo also to Alex Heffes for scoring a beautiful soundtrack for this movie. Last but not least, at the very end of the movie, we get to see several still pictures of the actual events, which really add to the poignancy of the movie. The screening I saw this at here in Cincinnati this weekend was (to my surprise) very well attended and tilting heavily towards the seniors, so this movie might have some legs, not unlike that other recent historical movie Hyde Park on Hudson. Bottom line: if you like historical drama, you will be well served by "Emperor".
