Cherry Blossoms in the Air - The Suicide Raiders - Oh, Buddies!

1970 · 95 min Drama War

In 1943 Japan is facing defeat. This makes Shinkichi, a straight, selfless student-patriot, ever more restless. He can no longer stand his soft "behind-the- gun" role of munition factory worker. School-mates one after another are going to the front, where he feels he should be. The last straw is an official report of his father's death in the Battle of Attu in the Aleutian Islands. He rushes to the naval air corps training camp at Tsuchiura along with his close school-mates Naito, Yamada, Saito and Tagawa as Volunteer pilot trainees leaving his mother and sweetheart weeping and helpless.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Cherry Blossoms in the Air - The Suicide Raiders - Oh, Buddies! is an acquired taste at 0.0/10. We recommend checking the trailer and synopsis before diving in.

Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.

A classic from 1970. They don't make them like this anymore — which is exactly why you should watch it. Best for: genre fans and those open to something unconventional.
