Ya know – all the stories and history of Japan is quite brutal. As much as I’m kind of drawn to the food and art etc., there are times that I find myself hating Japan for all the horrible things they’ve done.
Then I remember the Germans, Russians, English colonizers, early ‘Americans’ to the natives, etc… and it goes on and on. *big sad sigh*
this is on my list of movies on Amazon, but I dread watching it as I know I’ll cry so much.
But thanks for the reminder to watch this!

Yes. My heart is aching.
I can only cry and curse.

I know. Those heinous crimes had been committed repeatedly in the past and I can’t help but cry.
Just don’t come back and blame me for reminding you when you’re all tears, okay?

I won’t @dream – we need to be reminded of the past so the hope is we don’t repeat it.
or else I’m just a glutton for punishment…
