A film about the greatest love

It's a bit of a bittersweet Valentine's Day.
Japanese film director KON ICHIKAWA has died age 92. His "Biruma no Tategoto (The Burmese Harp)" is one of cinema's greatest films.
The story follows Japanese soldier Mizushima as he decides to leave his comrades so he can bury the otherwise forgotten dead in Burma at the conclusion of World War II. By sacrificing his friendships and his own return to Japan, Mizushima can help hasten the fallen soldiers' entrance into the afterlife.
It might be one of the greatest of love stories -- showing a love for all humanity.
I'll watch some of "Biruma no Tategoto" during my lunch hour today. That will be my parting tribute to the filmmaker of a truly beautiful movie.
