I was just going to mention The Wind Rises. I had the same reaction but thought it was also pretty powerful. Some complain it depicts the Japanese death machines in more glorious light which I was guilty of doing myself at first until I went back and reflected on the dialog of Caprioni. I would quote it here but I don't want to spoil anything and I'm on my phone which I'm not going to do now, I'm into deep already.... I'm god damn lazy dude.

Anyways, it's a morally difficult film that fabricates some ideas about jiro (designer of the kamikaze planes known as the zero) and delves into his naive nature that blinds him from what the ultimate use of creation leads too.

A noteworthy thing as well is Werner Herzog does a voice over for the English version which is kind of interesting.
