Just curious...How many Japanese war movies have you seen? Have you ever seen "Nobi" (Fires on the Plain), or "Biruma no tategoto" (The Burmese Harp)? Both films are powerful statements on war. WW2 is a difficult subject and you will find that most of the good war movies (in Japan) are samurai films...You can draw a parallel between Sci-fi tv in the USA and samurai films in Japan. At one time, in the USA, if you wanted to discuss anti-war, abortion, terrorism, McCarthyism, inter-racial sex, ect. you had to "hide" it in a sci-fi story (Star Trek, Twilight Zone). And for many years in Japan issues of war and combat where hidden in "chambara" movies...
