This looks good. Since I don't do the Pacific Theater much. it will add another
dimension.

Emperor (2012), starring Tommy Lee Jones, Matthew Fox, Kaori Momoi, and Toshiyuki Nishida.
Emperor will open in select theaters on March 8th.

Official synopsis: As General Douglas MacArthur suddenly finds himself the de facto ruler of a foreign nation, he assigns an expert in Japanese culture, General Bonner Fellers, to covertly investigate the looming question hanging over the country: should the Japanese Emperor, worshiped by his people but accused of war crimes, be punished or saved?

I finally saw this movie. Decent acting by Tommy Lee Jones as Gen MacArthur. Not much for him to do. The main role was Matthew Fox as Brig Gen Fellers. The film seems rather tame and I wasn't sure about the authenticity of the events. But I can' d do better than direct all of you to this review:

In summary, MacArthur by Gregory Peck was a far better film.
