Well, Ken Watanabe is hardly an unknown actor. And I'm frankly sick of all the ballyhoo about the film being in Japanese. Guess what, so are lots of Japanese films ... and it would have been just beyond stupid to make a gritty war film from the Japanese perspective with the cast speaking English ... in clippped British accents no less.
Letters was a fine film, but stereotypical galore ... whereas the Flags companion piece was, imo, shamefully overlooked - and far more interesting in perspective, story, and storytelling.
