The Decline of Hollywood and the Masochistic View of History in Japanese Cinema|Strong Discomfort over the Reporting on “Shoplifters”
Published on July 18, 2019.
The author, once an avid viewer of Hollywood films, describes his disappointment with the American film and music awards world, which he sees as having been transformed by Chinese capital, political correctness, and pseudo-moralism.
He also criticizes the current state of Japanese cinema as being dominated by a masochistic view of history and anti-Japanese ideology, and introduces the anger of a well-read friend toward the award given to “Shoplifters” and the media’s enthusiastic reporting on it.

The story itself is absurd… it is a malicious film meant to make people misunderstand, as if all of Japan were filled with such families and such people!
If it were a story about Chinese or Koreans,
I was once a Hollywood film viewer second to none.
I had watched practically every American film worth seeing at the neighborhood Tsutaya.
From around the time reports began to appear that Hollywood was being ensnared by Chinese capital, I almost stopped watching it.
The same was true of the broadcast of the Academy Awards ceremony… combined with the fact that it had begun to be dominated by political correctness, I stopped watching it altogether.
That is because the spectacle of extremely highly paid people brandishing pseudo-moralism was not something one could watch properly.
The same is entirely true of the Grammy Awards… in recent years I had not even felt like watching them, but this year I tuned in for just a moment… there was talk that last year’s winners were biased toward men, and so on… for music lovers, gender or skin color has nothing at all to do with it; good things are good, bad things are bad… surely it was simply that men happened to have more good songs… yet the association, having been criticized, panicked and said that this year it would emphasize women… I immediately changed the channel.
The beginning was the other day’s “SUPER 8,” directed, written, and produced by J. J. Abrams.
In addition, Steven Spielberg and Bryan Burk participated as producers.
The clincher was last night’s “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri,” though watching it before going to bed last night was a huge mistake.
I had immediately sensed from the introduction and content, saying that it was an Academy Award Best Actress film, and recorded it.
It is no exaggeration at all to say that America is overwhelmingly number one in the world when it comes to films.
The superb acting of all the actors, the quality of the camerawork, etc.
There is no way that self-serving people who do not even question the pseudo-moralism and masochistic view of history created by GHQ brainwashing…
Could perform like American actors.
It is no exaggeration to say that Japanese cinema ended with Mizoguchi and others.
The things now called films are at a level where even calling them films is presumptuous.
They are nothing more than school-pageant-level works that merely say, “We made something called a film.”
The works that appear decent are, in fact, all works that seem to be made up of a masochistic view of history and anti-Japanese ideology.
When they are sometimes praised for winning awards at international film festivals and the like, it is probably no exaggeration to say that this is the maneuvering of forces that want to confine Japan forever as a political criminal in international society.
One proof of this is what Masayuki Takayama taught me: a ridiculous commercial made by a Norwegian airline that demeaned Japanese people unanimously won the Grand Prix at Cannes, even though Mr. Tanaka of Dentsu was among the judges.
My well-read friend was greatly enraged that a film called “Shoplifters” had won an award somewhere.
It is malicious propaganda intended to say that Japan is that kind of country…
The story itself is absurd… it is a malicious film meant to make people misunderstand, as if all of Japan were filled with such families and such people!
If it were a story about Chinese or Koreans, there might be such things everywhere.
But to make Japanese people the subject is outrageous… the spectacle of the media joyfully reporting on such a film is also a miserable sight one cannot bear to look at!
He was in a tremendous rage.
