Have just watch The Sky Crawlers at GV earlier on. Didn’t know that the show lasted for 2hr minus the 15min commercial and trailers. A very interesting Japanese film. I shouldn’t reveal too much on the inside story for those who haven’t catch the film yet. Surprising to see that the theater is less than half filled. Probably is Thursday tot. Somehow i like this show but couldn’t quite explain it why. I saw quite a few group of people left half way or 3/4 through the show. Guess its too profound or boring somehow. It has a surprising ending at the end of the credits that will make you say..Ohhh!!! to finally understand the entire film character input and story plot. Just remember to sit through all the way to catch it.

Anyway i am not a movie critic. Just for your background knowledge on how this show came about.

The Sky Crawlers (スカイ・クロラ, Sukai Kurora) is a Japanese novel series by Hiroshi Mori. First published by Chuōkōron-shinsha in June 2001 and spanning five books, it follows the journeys and tribulations of a group of young fighter pilots involved in dogfight warfare, and is set during an alternate historical period. The series is unlike other works by Mori, noted for his series of mystery novels. The art for the series is illustrated by noted mangaka Kenji Tsuruta.The novel was adapted into an anime film, directed by Mamoru Oshii. – Credit to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
