Featured review
An excellent view of history
I'm not going to give this a rating, because someone is bound to take offense. This film, as stated by other users, needs to be understood in an historical context. History classes today teach only about the racism of war propaganda, internment camps and other mediums that seem to take advantage of a certain group of people. This film printed today would be unacceptable by my standards and the world's, but back then making fun of the country you were at war with was a fact of life. In my history class, we were shown this film in an, I believe, anti racist way. What a horrible example to use. What was shown before you was not racism. It was an attempt to lift the spirits of a nation that just happened to be attacked by Japan. Please take this short with the times and with a grain of salt!
