 Shot at a cost of ¥1.5 billion and partially funded by a right-wing businessman, "Pride" was one of the highest-grossing Japanese films of 1998 and was nominated for two Japan Academy Prizes.Although the filmmakers intended the film to open dialogue on Japanese history, it was controversial in China, South Korea, and Japan owing to concerns of revisionism.In 1941, Prime Minister of Japan Hideki Tojo orders an attack on the United States, drawing that country into World War II.
