So I'll give you this Iron Fist manual. Study it carefully. [hands manual to Chi-Hao] And now remember this, the Iron Fist technique can be lethal. Only use it in the cause of justice.

Plot: July, 1943: Japan's army is on the run. A platoon in Burma sings to keep its spirit up. Inspiration comes from their self taught lute player, Mizushima. At war's end, while they await repatriation at Mudon prison camp, Mizushima is sent to convince a Japanese company dug into a mountain that it must surrender. He fails, the British attack, many die, and his companions fear he's been killed. However, he has survived and disguised himself as a Buddhist priest. En route to Mudon to join his comrades, the frequent sight of dead Japanese soldiers overwhelms him. He vows to live a life of prayer, burying bones and bodies; his friends want him to return with them to Japan.

Quotes:

Mizushima: [to his parrot] Let's return to Japan together.

British officer: We've done all we can. The troops that took Triangle Mountain have returned home. The Japanese survivors are not in this town.::Captain Inouye: But that tune?::British officer: You hear a certain way of playing - a few notes floating by the breeze, and it's enough to make you think a dead man is alive. You must be dreaming.::British officer: [to his adjutant] He must be dreaming!

Captain Inouye: The songs uplifted our spirits and sometimes our hearts.

Voice of Mizushima's parrot: No, I can't go back.

Subtitles: [Last lines] The soil of Burma is red, and so are its rocks!

Captain Inouye: [Excerpt from Mizushima's letter, which Captain Inouye reads to his men as they sail back to Japan] As I climbed mountains and crossed streams, burying the bodies left in the grasses and streams, my heart was wracked with questions. Why must the world suffer such misery? Why must there be such inexplicable pain? As the days passed, I came to understand. I realized that, in the end, the answers were not for human beings to know, that our work is simply to ease the great suffering of the world. To have the courage to face suffering, senselessness and irrationality without fear, to find the strength to create peace by one's own example. I will undergo whatever training is necessary for this to become my unshakable conviction.
