Chief Chick Comments

This movie is very interesting. We know less about the results of World War II in Japan than the War in Europe. This movie begins by showing the devastation of Tokyo. The Chief Chick once lived in Japan and knows that as few as 9 years resulted in a rebuilding of the capital city of Japan. The additional theme of the romance between General Fellers and Aya, an exchange student he met before the War, makes it even more compelling to me. The role of General Fellers in the investigation of Emperor Hirohito is true; the romance less so although in 1914 Fellers met a young Japanese woman who was an exchange student in the US. I enjoyed this movie very much!
