New film covers Japanese soldier who refused to surrender after WWII

I did a double take as this movie has been out for a good while. Maybe even a year.

I watched it and thought it did an OK job. It strays from Onoda's book in a few aspects, but I can't help but wonder if Lt Onoda may have slightly "sugar-coated" his own story to make it more palatable to a post-war public.

Worth the watch but differences in the book are curiously interesting.

I probably would like to see this movie, when released!
