It's refreshing to see a ww2 movie from the loosing side. Fires on the Plane follows a wandering Japanese soldier through the last days of ww2. We follow The main character searches for sanity through chaos of the remains of Japan's army. Ichikawa chooses to focus his film on the less glorified part of war by depicting the starvation, exhaustion and overall moral decay of the soldiers. The film is quite exhausting and emotional. and definitely stands out in the genre.

This film is heart-aching. I felt myself cringing with sadness, anger and fear. The black and white doesn't hide the cruelty of the black explosions, the terrifying sounds, the texture of primal survival, false hopes, true hope, the sheer isolation... The main character seems at first very passive and submissive but as he makes his long and violent journey through the forests, harsh war-blackened lands and mountains of the late part of the Imperial Japanese army's invasion of the Phillipines we experience his last strong roots of true nobleness to humanity... this was laying in him the whole time. It is an attrocity to the cause meaningless violence and brutality that is war. This film shows this. One of the most gorgeous things about the film is that there is no disgusting ulterior motive. As stark as it is, it's incredible how it makes subtle comedic references to Silly Symphonies and slapstick.... I feel that every adult should see Ichikawa's "Fires on the Plain" and then "The Burmese Harp"

A feverish confabulation, this oppressive film about starving Japanese soldiers marching across the Philippines is steadfast in its claustrophobic intensity. It might be slow-paced at times, but that's somewhat the point. The characters are sapped of their energy - almost fatalistic in their proximity to death - and so the camera moves about likewise sedated, and likewise morosely.

Depressing portrayal of the depths of depravity men are forced to in war.

Few films are this depressing, but that also means it's depressing-good, meaning great. Ichikawa's film makes Stone's Platoon look like chicken feed. There's barely another film I can think of that shows a soldier's devastating trek through war this shockingly. Human Condition is still the best Japanese war film (trilogy), but this is right up there. By the end, the protagonist Tamura simply wants to go to the farmers on the other side of the hill, just to see "normal people" again. It's a statement about war you can never shrug off.
