I highly recommend this film to adult pilots and aircraft designers.
It's not a kid's film. It is not a Pixar style film.

The film is controversial. I looked into the controversy before I saw
it.

Thanks for the heads-up - I'd never heard of the film before this.

In a similar vein, I'd also thoroughly recommend reading "Samurai" by
Saburo Sakai (with help from Martin Caidin and Fred Saito). Its the only
book about the Pacific Air War by a Japanese pilot that I've seen. I
learned a lot from reading it.
