Why We Fight: The Battle Of China (1945)





This, despite it's very high production values--it is a Frank Capra film after all--it is, nonetheless, pretty hard to watch.  It is a well made Hollywood propaganda film--but propaganda almost in it's purest sense.  I was remarking to a family member that it sort of reminds me of the Christopher Walken scene in Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction, which starts out innocently enough and then descends into a pique of racist speech, until finally the truth about the pocket watch it revealed!  This is part 6 in the Capra series.
