Hollywoods obsession is with rewriting history on movies loosely based around warr U-571 No the Americans did not intercept the Enigma Machine scepter in Hollywood, it was the Brits but whitewashed out of history Saving Private Ryan Only America landed on D Day no mention of the Brits, Canuck’s or Aussies, The Mulberry Harbours and DD Tanks used in the D Day landings were both British inventions except in Hollywood when they were yank. The Last Samurai, as if the Japanese Imperial Guard would be saved by a random American Battle of the Bulge, Red Tails, Braveheart, The Patriot, Pearl Harbour and so on and so on, the list is endless. And to make matters worse, many Americans believe the Hollywood remake of History as fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Hippie Posted April 3, 2024 Report Share Posted April 3, 2024 “…Japanese director Takashi Yamazaki has previously said he would like to see a movie showing Japan's experience of the bomb. "I feel there needs to be an answer from Japan to Oppenheimer," Then maybe he needs to make one..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bust Posted April 3, 2024 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2024 Hard mob to understand the Japanese. I remember a few years ago, I took a mate who has a bit of an interested in visiting significant places relating to war, up to Kanchanaburi to visit Hellfire Pass. Portrayed them as absolute cnuts. That same night we went to the Sportsman in Soi 13 to watch the opening game of the Rugby World Cup 2019 between Japan and Russia. The Japanese would applaud the Russians every time they score or forced a turnover 😳 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the survivors said “…keep the money, just apologize,” the Japs just offered more money… There is a statue in San Francisco Honoring the comfort women and the Japanese consulate had the audacity to complain about it…the Catholic Church, who’s property the statue is/was on, told them to go scratch… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
