Full Plot Details

The true history of Japanese Unit 731, from its beginnings in the 1930s to its demise in 1945, and the subsequent trials in Khabarovsk, USSR, of many of the Japanese doctors from Unit 731. The facts are told, and previously unknown evidence is revealed by an eyewitness to these events, former doctor and military translator, Anatoly Protasov. Part documentary and part feature, the story is shown from the perspective of a young Japanese nurse who witnessed many of horrors, and a young Japanese officer who is torn between his sincere convictions that he is serving the greater purpose, and the deep sympathy he feels for an imprisoned Russian girl. His life is a living hell as he's compelled to carry out atrocious experiments on the other prisoners, using them as guinea pigs in this shocking tale of mankind's barbarity. "Philosophy of a Knife" is truly one of the most violent, brutal and harrowing movies ever made.

User Review - 10/10 by Alex FNot out until July 8th.I've seen the trailer and this is gonna besome seriously sick shit.And it actually happened! If you have a strong stomach then its a must see!
User Review - 10/10 by Tay LPhilosophy of A Knife is part documentary and part feature that portrays the terrifying and shocking truth about Unit 731. Unit 731 was a group of Japanese scientists and chemical engineers during World War II that carried out many grotesque experiments and tortures to their "subjects" to see how some of the chemicals they were using result in. And the result is horrendous and unbearable. Although this is part of the WWII history the Japanese try to hide, there have been plenty of articles and documentaries about this experimental group. Now you're asking where does this movie come in? Well as I've stated, there have been documentaries about this dark and deep secret the Japanese tried to hide. But what they NEVER showed was the portrayal of the true horror that actually was carried out. By that I mean the tortures and obscene experiments these scientists and chemical engineers have done to their subjects. And that's where this movie comes in; this movie portrays the horrific nature of the excruciating tortures they did to their test subjects. This movie, although is a history piece, isn't really the movie for fans of World War II films. If you want good World War II films, then stick to Saving Private Ryan, Stalingrad, Letters from Iwo Jima, Flags of Our Father, Downfall, or even Inglorious Basterds. This movie is specifically targeted to the gorehounds and fans of splatterfests. If you want a normal documentary about Unit 731, stay away from this one. If you have a weak stomach and can't handle grotesque torture scenes, stay away from this film. But if you're craving a hardcore gorefest that is just "GORETASTIC", this movie is just for you. I'm pretty sure you guys already know this if you've looked up about this film, but this movie is about four hours long. So I'd say take a break after 2 hours and come back to see the rest after a long intermission, unless you're willing to watch this movie all the way through without a pause or a break. This movie is definitely one of the most gruesome films out there, that belongs on the same list as Cannibal Holocaust, Martyrs, A Serbian Film, and even Takashi Miike films.
User Review - 10/10 by Seme Vi wasnt disturbed at all but i will say the day it got to my house i sat down and watched the whole movie in my opion i dont see how it could be 4 hours other than the fact that andrey added too many unessasary and random photo shots i will say thought i defanately liked this one the best out of all andreys films if you buy visions of suffering you will be board out of your mind it isnt even a film its kinda like one of those color scope things with random deaths i mean it has a story but most of it is just weird effect i give visions of suffering a 3 and philosophy of a knife a 5 it was grusome if you have a weak stomach dont watch:)
User Review - 10/10 by hopper kan extremely brutal, graphic, disturbing documentary. i went for the gusto and watched all 4 and a half hours in one sitting. not for everyone, that for sure.
User Review - 10/10 by Chris CFascinating "documentary" about Unit 731. Brilliant sound and video editing. Part documentary and part re-inactment. Very done well. Good special effects. Amazing that a lot of our medical references today come from what was done at that camp.
User Review - 10/10 by Mary Grace SMakes Saw and Hostel look like an episode of Dora the Explorer.
User Review - 10/10 by M MThis documentary is a gem ... for the people who can actually watch it. It is not for the weak stomached, feint of heart, or the, uh, normal population. It's basically a four hour film reenacting the tortures and human experiments that the Japanese did to POWs and captives after the war with an ex-Russian military guy recounting life experiences. And it's fantastic.
User Review - 10/10 by Johnny WReally. Please just see this immediately... maybe it was a mistake for Iskanov to make it 4 hours long... I'm sure that will turn a lot of people away from committing to the entire film; but it is an amazing work of art, both conceptually and formally... I imagine one day hosting a party and playing this in the background... it would be a very interesting party.
User Review - 10/10 by Joanna WReally disturbing documentary which is a must see for anyone that thinks that they are desensitized from all movies...wow is all I can say. One of the best movies I have ever seen...and longest (4 HOURS!)
User Review - 8/10 by X. TThis gets 4 stars for shock value and how gross and disturbing this 4 hour gore-epic really is. If you have a strong stomach and don't mind slower paced and highly graphics films, then check this out if you can find it. 4 stars was given here for the horror fanatic in me but I don't know how many times I would watch it...
