Emperor (2012)
Directed by Peter
Webber this film based on real events stars Tommy Lee Jones, Matthew
Fox, Eriko Hatsune and Masayoshi Haneda. An American general is given
10 days to investigate the role of the Japanese Emperor in WW2.
The subject matter
here is really interesting on a historical level but sadly the main
plot often gets shunted out the way for a romantic side plot which is
little more than melodrama. Sadly it also seems that history is
thrown out of the window in large parts as well so it's hard to find
much to like about the content of the film. Mostly the film well made
but really the horse has already bolted on the film thanks to the
script.
2/5
