This book examines representations of the Second World War in
postwar Chinese and Japanese cinema. Drawing on a wide range of
scholarly disciplines, and analysing a wide range of films, it
demonstrates the potential of war movies for understanding
contemporary China and Japan. It shows how the war is remembered in
both countries, including the demonisation of Japanese soldiers in
postwar socialist-era Chinese movies, and the pervasive sense of
victimhood in Japanese memories of the war. However, it also shows
how some Chinese directors were experimenting with alternatives
interpretations of the war from as early as the 1950s, and how,
despite the "resurgence of nationalism" in japan since the 1980s,
the production of Japanese movies critical of the war has
continued.
