Tojo's actor look more like Tojo than the actual Tojo
🤣he does and there's another movie called while at war its about the spanish civil war the Actor looks more like Francisco Franco than Franco himself
😂めっちゃ似てるよねwww
If I am not mistaken, Hirohito had deep interest in Marine Biology even he was burried with his microscope he hold dear along with the Mickey Mouse watch he got since he was a child
I believe he had a degree in marine biology.
Your wording at the last part of your comment is a bit confusing. Could be interpreted as "He got it when he was a child" or "He liked it cause deep inside he was just a child/childish" But to clarify, He didn't got the watch as a child, he got it when he visited disneyland in 1975. And boy he loved it so much. So i guess you meant the latter.
@@kariusikario7309 sorry, English was my third language
@@kariusikario7309 thanks for the correction, I mean the first one.
“It’s Tojover”
Good one!!! 😂😂😂
Billions must seppuku
Made me lol
Former Prime Minister Hideki Tojo was my favorite Japanese general but now my favorite general is Mitsumasa Yonai
@@karamanid The East has fallen
The 2005 feature, with Russian director Alexander Sokurov, The Sun depicts Emperor Hirohito's interest in biology, which I own.
The Emperor also visited the battleship Musashi in 1943, after Vice Admiral Yamamoto Isoroku's death, which Vice Admiral Miniechi Koga became the new CinC, until his death.
Great clip as always.
Take care, and all the best.
Fantastic scene
日本人が日本語で書きます。東条="tojo"の言う「さざえ」="Sazae"は多くの棘が生えた美味ながら、食べられる身は醜悪な巻貝ですが、私は美味しいと思って食べます。東条＝”tojo"は「さざえ」="Sazae"の殻="shell"は日本を守る軍だと主張しますが、天皇="Emperor"は、「さざえ」の「身」を食べるのは多分。日本人だけだねえ、と答えます。日本人しか食べないものは、どこの国だって、殻も身も捨てる、と言っているのです。この映画の例えは、今でも多くの日本人も含めて誰でも分かりにくい例えだと私は思いますが、私は、映画の、このカットが好きです。
Japanese people write in Japanese. The ``Sazae'' that Tojo refers to is a delicious snail with many spines, but the edible flesh is ugly, but I think it's delicious and eat it. Tojo claims that the shell of Sazae is an army that protects Japan, but the Emperor probably eats the flesh of Sazae. . I answer that it's only Japanese people. They say that if there is something that only Japanese people eat, they throw away the shell and the flesh, no matter what country they are in. I think this movie analogy is still difficult for everyone, including many Japanese people, to understand, but I like this cut of the movie.
@@artcamp7 Thank you!!
I saw the entire movie on YT earlier this year but don't remember the title so I can't find it. I want to see it again. It was a good movie. Prime Minister Suzuki played a dangerous game when he entered office and it was a game forced on him. He had to literally pander to the military at first, primarily to put them off track and to keep from getting assassinated. It worked. The charade kept Suzuki alive to begin plotting for peace which meant unconditional surrender. Yet to almost the last second he had to keep up appearances to prevent the military from overthrowing him.
Interesting movie, or rather part of it. But I do not think that the Emperor was involved so much in politics. I have read, that when the Emperor was forced to announce the end of hostilities (by radio speech), most of the people had a problem understanding him. His vocabulary was so odd, so strange,that regular people were not able to understand him
Yeah, I think they might have had to put out another declaration in a more common dialect
East Asian monarchies are very different from western monarchies. East Asian monarchies (Chinese, Korean, Japanese, etc.) operated with much more implicity to shield leaders from being directly associated with failures to maintain the imperial prestige. This allowed East Asian monarchs, such as Hirohito, to avoid being directly involved until victory was confirmed.
For more evidence that Hirohito always had the power to command directly, read this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/February_26_incident#The_imperial_command
Hirohito threatened to get directly involved in crushing a pre-WWII coup that operated under the misguided belief that they had discerned his true will.
With all this said, Hirohito does seem to have contributed greatly to post-WWII peace.
@@thekhoifish0146 Close. The issue wasn't his dialect. The issue was the vocabulary he used. Think of it as an American president delivering an inauguration speech in Shakespearean English. Most English-speakers, including well-educated Etonians from the UK, would need a translation into modern vernacular English.
I heard from dr mark felton that Hirohito used a form of Imperial Japanese dialect that was preserved in the royal family for centuries and he couldn’t actually speak universally accepted Japanese. So when the soldiers heard his voice they reckoned it was fake and continued fighting for a few hours. Something along that line
You're correct. The Emperor was frequently fed filtered or outright lies about the state of the war. The earliest time the Emperor seems to have even considered surrender was if I remember correctly, he asked a member of the Diet in February 1945 about what he thought about the state of the war. And that's a tenuous link. But there is a mention in his personal diaries in June 1945 where he was surveying the fortifications of the Home Islands, and he saw his soldiers using shovels made from the metal of American bombs, and thats when he said he knew the war was lost.
Prior to this, he was very much uninvolved in the actual politics of the Empire, but afterwards he pressed his War Council to start negotiating peace. The war Council was split 3/3 between no peace at all, or a conditional surrender. The Emperor ended one of their meetings, demanding them to go to the Allies asking of only one condition; that the Emperor be allowed to keep his place as sovereign ruler of Japan. The Allies denied this, then he again pushed his Council to accept an unconditional surrender.
There was a coup afterwards, the Kyujo Incident, and there is a plausibility that the military was planning to eventually keep the Emperor hostage before he urged surrender. There were bunkers being built in the hills of the middle of Honshu where the Emperor would be placed for his safety, and its likely that he would have just been tucked away from public life so the war could continue.
The Emperor had massive sway, but so did the military. So much so that a Japanese PM was assassinated by Navy officers and they got of with basically a slap on the wrist. Plus, the Second Sino-Japanese War was basically started by the Army without any consultation from the government. The Emperor could have intervened in these cases, but he didn't. He was indeed mostly a figurehead, but had the potential for a lot of political power. The Hardliners in the military as mentioned would have rather cut that possibility out.
Now I want to see this movie, I love WWII movies.
Amazing ! Love this scene ❤❤❤
After the Meiji Restoration, Japan reverted back to Shogun rule...
Imma watch this today
Japan has 64 Prime Ministers
Right after they engage in a sick battle of break dance !
what is the significance of the biology analogy can anyone explain
Hirohito was known to have much admiration for marine biology
@aiymo I understood that much. Why was it inappropriate. Why did he ask if Churchill or Stalin would would eat it?
In this scene, the Emperor is implying that Tojo just compared Japan to something that anyone would toss in the trash instead of eat. However, I don't know about any outside context.
There is a comment in this section written in Japanese, but klick the translation to English, and you'll get an explaination of the cultural significance of the snail metaphore.
I won't try to interpret it, you'll have to find it yourselves.
In Tojo’s mind, the animal (Japan) could not survive without its shell (the army) and needs it to protect the animal
In the emperors mind, the allies will destroy the animal entirely just to destroy the shell
Basically the emperor is telling him to think outside of military solutions
What movie is this?
The Emperor in August 2015
Emperor: You had the task in this glorious war era of giving Japan a decisive victory in short time, and you embarrassingly lost to these just white peoples… If you only better prepared for development of war and hitting them harder in offensive strategy for not stopping in the beginning, until they gave up, and even we get a big win in 1942, 1943, 1944…etc. if each year you doing well and you don’t realized it in the beginning.
