Vexille
- Movie
- 2007
Disturbed by Japan’s emergence as the de facto world leader in robotics, the United Nations instituted an international treaty requiring stringent regulations. When vocal objections failed to overturn the decision, Japan chose to withdraw from the UN and vanished from world view in a self-imposed isolation made possible by an impenetrable electromagnetic barrier. Now, ten years later in 2067, the only means of contact between Japan and the world belongs to Daiwa Heavy Industries, a powerful corporation monopolizing the world’s robotics market. The uneasy truce comes under question when SWORD, a U.S. special forces unit, finds disturbing evidence that Japan may have sinister designs for the rest of the world. SWORD must now infiltrate Japan to separate fact from fiction, but is anyone prepared for the truth?

add recVexille and Taiyou no Mokushiroku are stylistically poles apart, but thematically very similar. Both deal with ordinary people who must unite and rally in difficult circumstances in order to overcome a great power. If you likes this type of struggle in one of the films, then the other might be worth checking out too.

add recBoth anime are about earth quakes and how the people that were afftected by them have to cope and deal with the troubles caused by them. Taiyou no Mokushiroku takes things to more of an extreem and isn't historical like the day the earth moved but if you like one you will like the other.
