In the film, Masahiro Motoki's handsome face is far from Hirohito's image, and only by imitating his performance can people relate his performance to the Emperor himself. The image of the emperor shown in the film is always calm, restrained and awe-inspiring-unconditionally accepting the Potsdam Proclamation and ending the war before the terms of surrender are finalized, which means that the emperor is ready for death. This film beautified Hirohito's image and was criticized in Japan. The film historian Yasuhiko Sifang commented: "It is obviously no coincidence that this film adopts the information in A Record of Hirohito and skillfully uses montage to present an honest image of a person in power who spares no effort to achieve peace. Director Harada put Emperor Hirohito on the screen, but it obscured his essence and deprived the audience of the opportunity to critically think about the historical role of the Emperor.
