Title: Should be called "a discussion of Japanese history with small amounts of Japan"
Review: This documentary contains very little footage of japan. In fact, what little footage there is of Japan might all be stock footage, and a number of relevant visuals are still shots that look like they were poorly scanned from photos. About 60% of the film is footage of three professors talking about Japan, there is a brief history of Japan from about 500bc to present, it moves at a fast pace and contains a couple of minor errors. The visuals are highly repetitive, there is a lot of footage of the imperial palace in Tokyo - formerly Edo Castle - although Edo castle and the imperial palace are not mentioned in the film. I thought the CGI models didn't add much to the documentary, it seems to me likely they were put in to add "Japan content" without the expense of going to Japan. The samurai are fairly peripheral to the documentary.
