I've watched a few of these Japanese postwar films and they are really hard to get a handle on. Japanese film is tough in normal times (well, pre-anime explosion in the West, anyway) There was one about a yakuza gang trying to survive, saving Japanese women from beingremovedd by GIs. The one part I remember was one saying after they'd moved out of Edo up north to escape the bombing, that the most demoralizing thing he ever experienced was hearing the ripping sound of the shells overhead after the enemy fleet had arrived. US battleships started bombarding everything in range of the coat. Akira Kurosawa made films during the war supporting the war effort. They are especially hard to grok. Those pre-1945 Japanese were wildly different people.
