{"product_id":"wwii-kamikaze-mod-dvd-movie","title":"WWII - Kamikaze (MOD) (DVD MOVIE)","description":"Shockingly brutal archival footage highlights this sobering account of the conflict between America and Japan during World War II! \u003ci\u003eKamikaze\u003c\/i\u003e begins with the events leading up to Japan's surprise attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 and ends with the devastating bomb blast over Hiroshima in 1945. Most horrifying of all are the scenes of the \u003ci\u003ekamikaze\u003c\/i\u003e (\"divine wind\") pilots, devoted to crashing their planes into Allied warships, sacrificing their lives for Imperial Japan. Writer-director Perry Wolff (who filmed Jacqueline Kennedy's famous tour of the White House in 1962) brilliantly combines remarkable newsreel footage with re-enactments from postwar Japanese films to raise this documentary above the usual propagandist WWII fare. \u003ci\u003eKamikaze\u003c\/i\u003e screened in the U.S. as part of a double bill with \u003ci\u003eThe Smashing of the Reich\u003c\/i\u003e, also produced by Wolff. They served as direct competition to Darryl F. Zanuck's epic war film \u003ci\u003eThe Longest Day\u003c\/i\u003e, which opened in theaters the same week.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"COLOR: #0000ff\"\u003eDVD Details\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u0026gt;Rated:  NR\u003cbr\u003e\u0026gt;Runtime:  1 hours,  25 minutes\u003cbr\u003e\u0026gt;Encoding: Region 1(US \u0026amp; Canada)\u003cbr\u003e\u0026gt;Originally Released:  1\/1\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u0026gt;Label:  Alpha Video\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStarring: 0\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"BORDER-BOTTOM: blue 3px solid; BORDER-LEFT: blue 3px solid; WIDTH: 675px; HEIGHT:140px; BORDER-TOP: blue 3px solid; BORDER-RIGHT: blue 3px solid\"\u003eThis product is made-on-demand by the manufacturer using DVD-R recordable media.
