Remember: you can’t make any movie about postwar Japan without also making it about the warcrimes of Imperial Japan /s

This is like bitching that Grave of the Fireflies doesn’t call out the atrocities committed by unit 731 so it’s bad.

The regular people featured in Godzilla Minus One talk about how corrupt and destructive their government is; they explicitly call attention to the fact that their government didn’t care at all about the lives of its own people. I think it is pretty telling that if Imperial Japan is letting it’s own civilians starve or forcing them into pointless suicide attacks, then they certainly wouldn’t care about American POWs or Chinese peasants.
