I can't find anything about this on http://www.IMDb.com

Hmmm.... :confused:

This is it, Jim. Check it.

I didn't know that English title is "Witch of the Pacific Ocean".

To me, audio track was okay, I have no problem. Well, actors are all Japanese(some people are American), so they are speaking Japanese. If you don't know Japanese language, you definitely can't understand. So......you need English subtitles?

Ah, I thought my sarcasm would not translate well into text. As I see, I was right. Shame on me.

Ah, well....it's okay, it's not your fault. English sarcasm is too difficult for Japanese. Also, Japanese sarcasm is too difficult for an English-speaking people.

OOOOOOOOOOOOH. I am stupid.

OOOOOOOOOOOOH. I am stupid.

Noooooooo, you're not.

Well, talk about sarcasm is enough. You said ,"This movie looks very good". Do you like Japanese movies?
If you so, when you see Japanese movies, is it an English subtitles version, or English dubbed version?

Today I went to see this movie.

It was pretty good. If it was 20 years ago, maybe Japanese couldn't make this movie. I don't recommend to all people, but if you like "Crimson Tide" or "The Hunt for Red October", I highly recommend it.

This is new Japanese movie.

After the atom bomb dropped onto Hiroshima in August, 1945. A submarine called "a witch of steel" carried ultimate weapon "Lorelei", and left a port for a certain duty....

At first glance, it look like a Hollywood movie, but this is truly Japanese movie. It reminded me of Crimson Tide, The Hunt for Red October.....or BLACK WIND???? (Lorelei = Black Wind-like weapon........I hope not!).

Ki Kenji,

I came across this article on Monday about a submersible Japanese aircraft carrier from the last days of the war found off the coast of Hawaii recently.

I don't know how much in common this has with the movie but I will definitely keep my eyes open for when it opens over here.

Alan, thanks for sharing that link. I can't even think of anything to say about this find, except "NEAT[B]- O![/B] " It makes me wish I was able to get my foot in the door to do some underwater archaeology.

Hmm...it's interesting article. Thank you for posted.

Yep, this movie's story is fiction. But history itself is true.　This author is Harutoshi Fukui. The title is "Shusen no Lorelei". I guess this is not released in US yet. So.....if it released in US(English version), I recommend it.

I tried to find the info, but got "Document Not Found." If memory serves, the IJN built a couple of very large, for the time, submarines equipped to launch floatplanes. Might that be the story?
