He made a previous movie about Kamikaze pilots called The Eternal Zero that was accused glorifying militarism. He made another movie that was adapted from a novel written by someone who denies the Nanjing massacre.
Weird on that first point because I felt that Godzilla Minus One was a pretty clear rebuke against kamikaze pilots specifically and for cherishing human life generally.
I thought it was really great, even though the director has some really sketchy politics.
Mind filling me in on the director? Is he one of those imperial japan apologist types?

Yeah, maybe he grew as a person (at least on the topic of kamikaze pilots). The movie is pretty anti-kamikaze.
