Yoshimi Taniguchi (Issey Ogata) to hold a position on Lubang Island in the Philippines. In real life, Onoda was ordered not to surrender or take his own life for any reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Taniguchi tells Onoda, in essence, that he would never abandon his men. Therefore, after the American military takes over the island, leaving Onoda with just a handful of troops, he devolves into a state of paranoid obsession about staying loyal to Taniguchi\u2019s word, a mindset that prevents him from accepting that the war is over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Though he and his compatriots continue their campaign in the jungle for a few years, even going so far as conducting small raids against Filipino villagers, local police and U.S. troops, Onoda\u2019s story eventually dwindles to one of total solitude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite attempts to coax him out of the jungle, including a recorded message from his brother telling him the war ended and periodicals explaining the new world, Onoda remains steadfast in his cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The movie\u2019s beginning is reminiscent in tone to Francis Ford Coppola\u2019s \u201cApocalypse Now.\u201d While impactful, the ambiguity of its message prevents it from quite reaching the same level of poignance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ultimately, it\u2019s unclear if the movie is meant to serve as a historically fictionalized version of Onoda as a mythical figure \u2014 so duty-bound to his country that he believed all attempts to get him to abandon his mission were conspiracy \u2014 or a dramatization of the effects of radicalized and weaponized patriotism that war can generate among young, impressionable troops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Either way, the film is a harrowing portrayal of what it would take to survive 29 years in the harsh jungle while refusing to accept that the cause was lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>Stream \u201cOnoda:
