  • Yet again we have another World War II propaganda movie used to "glorify" the "good war."

    Some of the most brainwashed quotes of the movie I will now show.

    "At 5 years old a Jap kid buys a dagger. At 7 he goes into military service. At 13 he learns of the Bushido Code. That will not cease until we destroy their entire evil system and make sure that Jap kids buy roller-skates when they are 5 years old."  

    :rolleyes: Uh yeah right because if we bring the "blessings of democracy" to the world we will have peace. Of course FDR and America at the time really loved to speak of spreading democracy. Ironically there was no "peace" spreading it into Japan. The cost of that was atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the firebombing of Tokyo.

    "Look at me, I got me one of those nαzι flutes."

     :rolleyes: Uh yeah because a German flute obviouly was made by a "nαzι."

    "Me grandfather was killed by those nαzιs for being smart!"

     :rolleyes: Uh not likely. Your grandfather probably challenged the German occupation or was a communist, socialist, or anarchist.

    "Everytime I think of a couregeous Russian guerilla, an American solider getting killed, or Chinese kids getting bombed by Japs I think of my grandfather."

     :rolleyes: I just have no response at all to this stupid statement.

    "The Japenese don't care about their women. To them women are supposed to bear children or to work in a factory. They don't understand why we love and care for our women."

     :rolleyes: This seems to me to be one of those de-humanization processes going on at the time to make the Japenese "sub-human" and "beast-like." This statement is ironic by the way because this seems to me to be one of those "feminist" supportings, when just 50 years before in the West women had no rights anyway.

    "The Japenese have no free press in Japan. The people believe what they are told."

    Isn't that just like Americans at the time who believed the media when they said we had to go to war? :wink:
