Pathetic, it was not a cute and wonderful experience as this 1943 silly Jap propaganda made it out to be.
My grandfather told me the Japs made them recite their barbaric language every few weeks.
If you caught speaking Korean with one another and along with the Taegeukgi flag, you were tortured, beaten or conscripted to serve in the occupied territories in the Pacific, China and Southeast Asia depending on age.
He lost many colleagues from his class during the savage occupation.
Gee...all the cutsey woodland creatures sharpening their bayonets and cleaning their machine guns warm the cokcles o' me heart!
Ooo...let's not forget the cutsey slave animals building the runway. Too well fed, must be early in the war. You should see every rib in those elephants.
nice cartoons but i don' t like the message...teaching kids about war and falsely desguising forced labor into something fun...guns and cartoons don' t match..and war is the most horrible of all human inventions

Because the english alphabet wasn't about convincing a nation that being forced to submit to Japanese rule was actually fun.
This movie reflects the dangerous thinking of the Japanese government at the time. Don't be decieved by fluffies and katakana. Japan wasn't always the "Eastern West" it is today.
Yes it is well documented and taught in history at school. Fortunately Japan's dangerous war time thinking has long since passed, Japan is so different now and far greater because she learned from her mistakes.
Nowadays the dangerous thinking we have to be concerned with is US imperalism. Ironic since the USA were supposed to be the good guys in world war 2. But they let that victory go to her head. And the USA is unlikely to learn from its mistakes.
yes!
every pacific islander love japan forever, look work and sing!

海軍の検閲が入っているものを
純粋に娯楽映画とするのは短絡的ですよｗ
白人の植民地下では、まともな教育など受けられる環境にありませんでした。
識字率も大変低く、まさに奴隷として扱われていたことを、欧米人はどれだけ知っているのでしょうか？

戦争プロバガンダとはちがい、政治的でも軍拡的でもない・・・・余計な言葉がない。 すばらしい作品。 国策映画とは根本的にちがう。 純粋に国民娯楽映画だわ。
