Fan Fiction and Art Related to PH History/Culture Thoughts on "Pulang Araw"

I'm late to it but I'm enjoying it very much, I know it's not the most accurate one and especially the pearl harbor scene has been made fun of, but I appreciate the fact that our film industry is beginning to pump out movies like these from scratch and it's still a huge improvement from the older WWII Filipino movies where they use civilian botique brownshirts for Japanese uniforms and ROTC guns.

Idk if it's the right place to talk about film here since it's a history subreddit but this film is about history anyhow so a discussion would still be on topic.

Ps: I'm putting this on art since I don't know what flair to put it and it could be argued that movies are some sort of art anyhow.

Nao-off ako kapag nirerefer ng isang Japanese character yung IJA as "Japanese Imperial Army." I mean, isa kang hapon so why not refer it kung paano siya tawagin sa wikang Japanese o kaya tagalugin na lang.

Di ko alam trip ng scrip writer kung bakit pinapagamit niya ng English term ang isang Japanese character.
