Yamato (男たちの大和, lit. "The Men's Yamato") is a 2005 Japanese World War II film. It was written and directed by Jun'ya Satô, based on a novel by Jun Henmi, and scored by Joe Hisaishi.April 6, 2005. A thirty-ish woman, Makiko Uchida, comes to the port of Kure, seeking a boat. She is looking for someone to take her out into the open ocean, to the spot where the Japanese battleship Yamato was sunk, with the loss of almost all its crew, sixty years before. An old fisherman, Katsumi Kamio, agrees to take her. He reveals that he is one of the very few survivors of the sinking. She in turn reveals that she's the daughter of Mamoru Uchida, another Yamato crewman, whom Kamio thought had gone down with the ship.From that Framing Device the main story plays out. A teenaged Kamio joins the Navy in 1944 and is assigned to the battleship Yamato, pride of the Imperial Japanese Navy. He's subject to brutal IJN training by Petty Officers Uchida, Moriwaki, and Karaki. As Japan's military situation deteriorates, the Yamato is damaged in the October 1944 Battle of Leyte Gulf. Finally, with defeat looming, the Yamato is sent off on a desperate suicide mission, Operation Ten-Go. | |

End of an Age: The recounting of his past to Makiko enables Kamio to accept that the Showa period has ended. The time of the battleship as the primary naval weapon is also over. | |

Anti-Air | |
| Yamato / int_1eed1d03 | comment |
Anti-Air: The Type 96 Antiaircraft guns on board the Yamato. Kamio and Uchida are assigned to them. Unfortunately, the hand-cranked, obsolete anti-aircraft guns are extremely ineffective (nearly hopeless, in fact) at shooting down fast-moving American planes. When American planes are detected approaching the Yamato and its escorts, she opens fire against them using her main gunsnote Using "Beehive" rounds, a type of shell designed for anti-aircraft work, that turned out to be Awesome, but Impractical. | |

Hollywood Heart Attack: Old Kamio has one after reaching the point in the recount where he tries but fails to save Nishi. There are no prolonged dramatics - he makes a pained gasp, reaches out for support and collapses. The others want to turn the ship around even after he recovers and takes his medicine, but he insists on pressing on since they're close to the destination already. | |

Defeat Equals Explosion | |
| Yamato / int_471fdb9e | comment |
Defeat Equals Explosion: True to history, the Yamato does not go quietly; just before slipping beneath the waves, the ship's magazines detonate in a massive explosion. note It's a bit of a mystery as to what caused the munitions to cook off. Common theory states that a fire started by a bomb or torpedo got out of control when the ship's firefighting systems broke down and eventually made its way to the magazines. It's also possible that when the ship rolled over some of the shells broke loose and detonated, as was known to happen with big gunships. note decades later, wreck analysis show that there was apparently a second explosion sometime after sinking, quickly (and perhaps mercifully) killing anyone still trapped inside. | |

Abandon Ship | |
| Yamato / int_51c7574c | comment |
Abandon Ship: Naturally, the remaining commanding officers on board the Yamato give this order when all hope of containing the flooding damage from the American aerial torpedoes proves futile. Unfortunately, it's too little, too late, as the ship capsizes quickly soon after, and then goes up in a massive explosion. | |

Macross Missile Massacre | |
| Yamato / int_8b93a168 | comment |
Macross Missile Massacre: The Yamato takes a beating of 20 torpedo hits, most to her port side, before sinking. In Real Life, the ship was also subject to attack from aerial rockets launched by fighters and dive bombers. In addition, concentrating the torpedo attacks on her port side actually occurred, and was a deliberate tactic by the torpedo bombers. Massive flooding from damage mainly to her port side would have made it more likely for the ship to capsize. | |

One of Yamato's officers voices his displeasure that the head of the IJN is cowering in a bunker in far-off Kyushu rather than joining them on the mission to Okinawa. In true Japanese Politeness fashion, he does so while maintaining proper deference to his superior, pretending to innocently assume the Admiral is coming along. This forces the Admiral to lose face correcting the officer and pointing out that he is actually staying on land. | |

Elites Are More Glamorous: Averted. Kamio is an ordinary enlisted sailor and Uchida a petty officer. While the eponymous battleship can be considered a better posting than most, they're not treated In-Universe as some exclusive, elevated group. The old Kamio certainly doesn't speak of the experience like it covered him in glory. | |

| Yamato / int_e16cd24e | comment |

War Is Hell | |
| Yamato / int_f1d6144a | comment |
War Is Hell: There are many gory, vivid shots of people getting shot or blown up. The sailors manning the exposed anti-air guns have it worst. The results are heartwrenching and horrifying rather than cool. The film also shows the frustration and helplessness of the Yamato's crew to a absolutely heartbreaking degree. They know they are fighting a hopeless battle, they are so overwhelmed by the hundreds of aircraft attacking them that they often freeze because there are so many planes they can't decide which one to shoot at, the American fighters and bombers attack relentlessly and without pause, and their ship and their companions are getting shredded all around them. | |
