Katsutoshi Atarashi

A Japanese film that tells the tale of the birth of VHS. It follows Kagatani Shizuo, an electronics employee who rallies his coworkers to save their jobs by increasing sales. They do this by developing the VHS standard. They battle with Sony and their standard and ultimately prevail.

The film opens with kidnappers of a corporate executive making an unusual ransom demand: that a wizened executive from another company haul large bags of money through downtown Tokyo as the media documents his every move. When the first old man almost dies from exhaustion, a second, and eventually a third elderly corporate fat cat is ordered to do the same. The police detective assigned to the case (Tetsuya Watari) and his younger partner (Masatoshi Nagase) are livid with indignation at this sorry spectacle. They learn that these four men were involved in a massive industrial spill that poisoned an entire rural hamlet 20 years previous. Suddenly, the detective -- who studied in the States and apparently absorbed some John Wayne-like mannerisms in the process -- isn't sure who are the victims and who are the villains.

Based on the "2.26 Incident", an attempted coup d'état in Japan 1936, launched by radical ultra-nationalist parts of the military. Several leading politicians were killed and the center of Tokyo was briefly held by the insurgents before the coup was suppressed.

영화는 러일전쟁이라는 시대적 사건을 배경으로, 그 안에서 살아가는 다양한 인간군상들의 고통과 애환을 그리고자 하였으며, 가상인물의 대표인 코가 타케시와 실존인물의 대표인 노기 마레스케를 통해 각각 병사들과 사령관의 입장에서 전쟁을 통해 그들의 심경과 고통, 애환과 변화, 사연을 그려낸 수작이다. 인간 드라마 못지 않게 전쟁영화로서의 스케일도 당시 일본 최대를 자랑하였으며, 뤼순 요새와 203고지를 재현하기 위해 이즈오오시마(伊豆大島)에 대규모 요새 세트장을 건설하고, 당시 사용된 총기와 군복, 공성전의 백미인 280mm유탄포를 정확하게 재현해냄으로써 밀리터리에서도 높은 평가를 받았다.
