Japan's Longest Day

The first twenty minutes is more or less a documentary.  Then this movie recreates the end of World War II for Japan.  No one wanted to admit that the emperor had admitted defeat.  Of course in this day of age that would have gone on the internet in a second.  But there were efforts to stop the news from going forward.  The last hour was intense.  The movie is 157 minutes but it's worth it.
