It shows the common Japanese soldier as an individual and as a family man, presenting even enemy Chinese soldiers as brave individuals. It is considered to be a "humanist" film, paying close attention to the human feelings of both the soldier and his family.[1] PlotA hard-working father is called up and sent to the front. He keeps in touch with his family by writing letters home. These include chocolate wrappers collected from his comrades; his son is collecting the wrappers to redeem for a free box of chocolate. The man volunteers for one brave act, joining a suicide squad. Before he goes, he drinks a toast from a cup given him by his son, and (as happens in other "humanist" films) smiles to indicate his intention to die with his comrades. The son receives the news of his father's death at the same time as the free chocolates arrive. He swears vengeance; the chocolate company gives him a scholarship.[1] ReceptionThe American director Frank Capra said of Chocolate and Soldiers "We can't beat this kind of thing. We make a film like that maybe once in a decade. We haven't got the actors."[2] The film opened the Japan Society's series of Japanese Second World War movies shown in the United States in 1987.[2] Cinema theorist Kate Taylor-Jones suggests that along with films like Mud and Soldiers and The Legend of Tank Commander Nishizumi, Chocolate and Soldiers provided "a vision of the noble, obedient and honourable Japanese army fighting to defend the emperor and Japan."[3] Joseph L. Anderson observes that the film was "obviously aimed at the home audience".[4] References1. ^1 {{cite book |author=High, Peter B. |title=The Imperial Screen: Japanese Film Culture in the Fifteen Years' War, 1931-1945 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=6XiA9DOuvjAC&pg=PA217 |date=January 2003 |publisher=Univ of Wisconsin Press |isbn=978-0-299-18134-5 |pages=217–218}} 2. ^1 {{cite web |last1=Darnton |first1=Nina |title=At the Movies |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1987/01/23/movies/at-the-movies.html |publisher=New York Times|accessdate=13 March 2015 |date=23 January 1987}} 3. ^{{cite book |last=Taylor-Jones |first=Kate |title=Rising Sun, Divided Land: Japanese and South Korean Filmmakers |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=l9SrAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA14 |date=16 July 2013 |publisher=Wallflower Press |isbn=978-0-231-16586-0 |page=14}} 4. ^{{cite book|last=Anderson|first=Joseph L.|title=The Japanese Film: Art and Industry|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=C2z3otM-y5kC&pg=PA131|year=1982|publisher=Princeton University Press|isbn=0-691-00792-6|page=131}} External links
