No matter which side you were on, you have to respect this man's commitment to duty.

[LiberoOnodaLuizCaldas]

Thanks for the opportunity to show our family history. We love it.

I read No Surrender a few years back and loved it; I found it to be the most interesting, thought provoking biography that I've ever read. I also recall lamenting that it would never be made into a film. Now not only is there a film, but by all accounts it's excellent! Can't wait to see this.

[Chinhnguyen]

the quality looks like it was shot in the 80's. it's great

[deedeer]

Thank God it doesn't look like hate propaganda for once, but only a very realistic story.

[stingray]

When fighting against an enemy and that enemy eventually becomes you..

[sira]

Love him or hate him, he was the greatest hide-n-seek playa

[punnpui]

(The person who discovered Mr. Onoda went missing a few years later in the Himalayas looking for a yeti.)

[maxmann]

watched it today and it was really good.

[cattameme]

This is new? I like how it looks like a remastered movie from the early 80s

[박은재-bf]

In Japan: he's a hero
In Philippines: he was a criminal

[Ho-opono]

I been dying for a production on these incredible stories heard around the world

[MAHARLIKAN_WARRIOR.]

RIP SIR ONODA

The book written by onoda he only wrote the good side but the bad side is not written the bad side is that he killed the people who live at the bottom of the mountain and they are still civilians and the children are afraid of him and the people in that island where Onoda was no longer going to the mountain because Onoda would kill them and what's worse, Onoda went down the mountain and went to the small town to steal their animals and he killed many civilians because it was night he goes down the mountain to steal food, animals and so on

[오합지졸동로마군대]

After the end of World War II, one Japanese soldier, "Onoda Hiroo", single-handedly massacred more than 30 Filipino soldiers and injured more than 100 Filipinos. Even after World War II ended, one Japanese soldier continued to colonize the Philippines. The Philippines is so pitiful.

[lazy]

well now I don't know what to feel. I mean I admire his loyalty to his country, superiors and his will to survive in this circumstances but I'm a filipino and it's a fact that he killed many of the filipinos at that time (also done many bad things to them) so I'm having this mixed feelings. This is just my opinion tho

[リュウキムラ]

According to "Three Months with second lieutenant Onoda: Illusionary Hero" (amazon kindle), an insider's book written by Tsuda Shin, the ghostwriter of Onoda's autobiography, Onoda and his men attacked about 100 local islanders in the 30 years after the war, killing about 30 of them. And it was not in self-defense, but in ambush. For 30 years after the war, they continued the looting and killing of the locals that the Japanese imperial military had done during the war. President Marcos at the time treated it as an amnesty, but the people who had their immediate family members killed there were never satisfied. It is unacceptable to ignore these facts and glorify them.

[gdprsn]

Lets all be clear the man committed heinous crimes while he was hiding in the Philippine jungle.

[ytubeanon]

I'm still at war with Iraq, we never did find those WMD's

[clown_real]

Does anybody know the rating? I can't find it for the life of me, and I want to watch this with my parents.

[KateLicker]

well, I learned that the Japanese troops' nickname for Filipinos was 'Donkos"...wonder where that came from...
the movie was well-above what I was expecting, in acting writing direction, strange that it is Belgian-owned of all countries to make a movie about Pacific War...I was a little let-down that there was no post-script at end on Onoda's life after returning to Japan, (I know he died in 2014 at 91yo)..and no attempt to portray his initial return to Japan, people's reaction to him, and his reaction to modern Japan..as well as his learning of Japan's fate in WW2 the A-bomb etc..but otoh I do get why movie leaves off where it does with him in first leg of return route to Japan in back of Filipino military helo...but he did write a memoir, maybe you need to read that to take up where movie left-off..
