This is awful timing by me, since I intended to submit these two or at least one of these movies for the War list.
I don't know if I can now, since I can no longer remember their names. But I would still appreciate it if someone is able to identify them.
1) Black & White Japanese movie
A young soldier with glasses is trained to be a human bomb/torpedo (it was thing with the Japanese then), visits a prostitute's place, where he helps a girl who is studying (she is in uniform).
They fall in love. I remember them sitting in an abandoned house later, naked but covered in blankets facing each other, while it's raining heavily outside. He even buys her a book.
Later in the movie he hides himself in a really small pit (near the beach) with a bomb, waiting for the enemy, but they never arrive. He meets a little boy.
Eventually he ties himself to a long torpedo & tries to swim towards an enemy ship.
2) European movie about a little girl
She gets seperated from her family. Travels in a crowded train, where I think she gets found out for not having a ticket.
A man brings her to an old woman, who lives in a house on hills. She takes care of her for a while.
Then she is again shifted.
She lives in a German officer's house for a while, where the officer's daughter doesn't like her.
She is again shifted. This time to an orphanage, where she is unfortunately abused by other boys.
From there I think she finds her way back to her house, which is now abandoned. There's a scene where she happily dances outside her house.
This was a really horrific movie (largely because of the abuse she faces).
Thanks in advance.
