However, I would argue the movie has historical merit since a number of Europeans and Americans were held against their will by the Japanese military during this time. The film also goes to great lengths to show the Horrible brutality and genocide the Japanese Military were responsible for during this time.)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0 1.
