this film is a knockout and fires on the plain referred to is and (the burning off at the end of harvest time) a happy memory for tamura and he relives this in his mind many time  and and at the end of this bleak film and like a man dying of thirst and he believe he is home and this last illusion is all he has left. billy wilder the big carnival (ace in the hole) is the only film (that comes to mind)that is as bleak as this little masterpiece by kon ichikawa. while i think the whole film is brilliant two scenes that come to mind are when a platoon of japanese soldiers trying to escape (crawling on there belly )are ambushed by americans and massacred and true horror and and as an american soldier and a pretty philippine girl soldier are having a cigarette on the side on the road and she smiles as she flits with the yank and then her face changes to rage as she see two japanese soldiers trying to surrrender and she grabs a gun and kills them with joy and the american soldier attempts to stop her but has no chance  and to me this speaks volumes at the atrocity committed by the japanese in the philippines and all in all a great film if you have the stomach for it.
