My Japan
My Japan, one of the most unusual documentary films ever made, dares to question America’s invincibility. But I wonder whether in fact it’s the unheralded first film of the atomic age. Is it too far out to imagine that its real purpose was to desensitize Americans to the horrors of the A-bomb? By citing American weaknesses and vulnerabilities and seeming to praise Japanese patriotism, strength and resolve, it challenges Americans to support a strategy of total war. Its stealthy assertion: that the Japanese military machine will not be broken without an unprecedented effort. It supports this assertion by presenting highly charged and emotional images with an bogus “insider” narration that is at once deceptive and inflammatory.
