Endless Ends

The scars from the brutality/murders/rape/forced “prostitution” during the Japanese occupation in WW2 run deep in China. It shows up in Chinese movies/tv quite a bit.

Interesting how that varies from country to country. I had an older relative who was a very tolerant soul. The only time I remember her saying something racial was once, when she made a negative comment atop the Japanese. She was a young girl during WW2.

The Japanese, though, don't seem to hold it Hiroshima against the United States.

The Chinese bit was explained to me while I lived there, and it spanned from survivors to the student generation.

The only thing I know about the Japanese feelings on the bombs is a profound sadness associated with them. I haven’t studied Japanese media much.

For like the first time ever, I'm wondering if I should curate my movie watching habits.

In what way?

In what way?

My brain is mushy enough on its own. I’m wondering if some of my viewing choices as of late may be hastening the situation.

Maybe a Letteboxd account?

You can list the movies you’ve seen and write a review about them. That way you can keep track of what movies you’ve seen, what you thought about them and suggest others watch or not watch them.

The range of you film and associated knowledge never ceases to amaze me, Muscles.

So your brain is mush, huh?

So your brain is mush, huh?

Most likely. But more because of things like watching Clerks with son last night.
